Because the 700;800 900 dollar car payment suddenly doesn't seem like such a good idea.

Because you just got raped by a 2011 5.0 Mustang?

Upgrading to a C6 Corvette would be a good reason.

Over $800 a month for a car payment?

Most people come in with a trade in or a down payment to lessen the cost.

Cars really suck as daily drivers. Cant see out of them...... Not to mention they won't fit in an older style garage, they're too wide.

Really Orange Chevy II....?

Yeah I test drove one like 3months ago and I couldn't see out of it to the sides and back. It felt cool driving the 2011 SS with all that torque.

The G8 is basically the same car without the blind spots. A lot of the parts from the Camaro bolt right on, brakes/wheels/diff/engine parts.

Not to mention the interior space. For such a big and heavy car, it sure does lack space on the inside.

Go meet up with the ford rep that comes out to pearland cars & coffee. He Beleives otherwise. Not to mention that the 5.0 is much faster than a gt500 stock for stock as he claims..

You know maybe its the fact that the new Camaro tires and rims are so damn big. I think and you can correct me if I'm wrong, 19" are the smallest rims for the SS. Expensive drag radials/rims......

The 5.0 has some serious power but doesn't have the torque and awesome looks of the Camaro..

not always....

i knew a guy who bought an 05 GT the week they came out, paid $27 or 28k but was 8k upside down on the truck he traded in. Because of that, he had something like 9.9% interest on top of everything else. His payment was $8xx a month, probably for 60 months.
