What does everyone think the new Camaro Z will list for when and if they become reality? Also what engine would you hope for in 2009?

It will probably be priced within a few hundred dollars of Mustang GT.

As far as I know it is STILL speculated to be LS2 powered. And as much as I would like for it to be in the Mustang GT's price range; I wouldn't expect it. It's up 100bhp on the stang and it'll be a feat to have them within a few $100.

Not to mention when the dealers add the $5000 market value adjustment to the price. They did it with the Mustang's, Z06's, and will with the Camaro if it is made.

The car will NOT sell unless it is in the same price range of a GT. I'm not really too worried about that not happening.

I would.

lets ponder on this... the 2002 Camaro Z28 with "so so" options could be bought for about 27,000 maybe less, maybe more. the all out ss, with the anniversary option was close to 33,000. right now you can buy a mustang gt pretty loaded for about 26,000-28,000. now we all know that GM is going through some pretty rough times. from reading Time, and Newsstand mags. they are on the verge of going bankrupt with in the next two months if they don’t do something. i here there are wanting to sale 51% GMMC, and are closing many plants and laying off a lot of workers. so here is the question. well chevy sale the camaro at a reasonable price to compete with the mustang, or are they going to jack up the price to try to help their budget. what they have to understand, all though we may buy one for an outragest price, people like single women, and men who dont know any better, and moms and dads that buy there sons and daughters a car every two years are going to look between the camaro and the mustang, and pick the mustang, even if its only 2 grand cheaper. and one more thing... not only is chevy competing with the mustang, but they have a new boy on the block, and it has a hemi (the challenger). and its also getting a lot of press and some people god forbed that have camaro are going to go to the challenger. so im not sure what GM can do, they are really in a tight spot. do yall think GM is doomed, and the gov. will have to jump in and save them? it’ll be very interesting what GM will do. I heard they are already thinking of making the impala and the monte, on the zeta platform. i just hope they don’t scrap the whole project at the last sec.

I agree if it is not priced the same as or a hair higher than the mustang it will NOT sell. If they don't see that they deserve to go bankrupt. I would personally never buy a mustang. I would however buy a new camaro if the price is good and they change the looks. I will probably be around $35gs if I had to guess.

I drove a M6 05 GTO at a dealer that was only listing for $24K and, I was really impressed with the ride of the car. If the Camaro matches that ride and a more aggressive style it would be wonderful. The only thing about the GTO is that as fast as the car is the ride needs a little something to let you know what you have. I guess I have gotten used to my Z but at WOT I know what I have going on. I would seriously consider one after all the hype goes away, and the market calms for around $28-$30K or so. Hell toss a LS7 in and I might go $35K

Don't worry. I have every confidence that GM will F' it up before it's over with.

2000SLPZ28

hahaha... sad but true, and by the way, i think the looks are just right. its aggressive enough for me.

Yea your absolutely right, my LT1 feels wayyyy faster than my dad's GTO but in reality his is most likely faster.

TylerDurden28

LMAO, +2 on the subject.

v6noobie

Hopefully it's right around 25k, any higher and I'll be looking at the Challenger or a used Cobra.

CK9887

Its not going to be around 25k$... More like 35-40k$, Especially by 2009

And if the Ls1 gen of Camaros were selling between 25-30k$.... how could the new camaro that will be 7 years newer, be that same price.

And as far as pricing it with the GTs... Its not going to happen. The new Camaro wont be compared with the new GTs. It will be competing agains the new Shelby Cobra which are selling for about $45k msrp

sixstringsandharleys

You can't compare a junkie ford with a Camaro. The camaro could be a 4 cylinder and still be better than a stupid mustang.

Part of the fbody demise last time around was pricing. Most people, unless they're die hard car enthusiests aren't going to pay a few grand more for a few extra horsepower. Most people out there look at price first. Back in '98 my uncle was looking at either a Mustang or a T/A, both verts. He snagged a new GT drop top for like 25-26 while the T/A was over 28K. That's a big difference to some people.

I think for the "average" buyer cost is everything. Maybe us car people will spend the extra cash on a better product but a 25 year old girl, or a kid fresh out of high school that doesn't know any better is going to buy the cheaper car and still think they look cool. To them it doesn't matter, they have a "cool car" for a good price.

say a video of a GM Rep. commenting on the new Camaro...He speculated the V6 model would range in the low to mid 20's and a V8 Ls2 powered Base model Z28 would range from the low 30's to 35k......

gm said in chevy high performance said that they wanted to keep it in the lower price range to keep the younger generations still interested, they were hoping to be around 25-30 k

GoldenBird

You'd actually be surprised. If I recall, the average sticker price on comparably equipped vehicles actually dropped from the late thirdgens to the early fourthgens. It is going to have a really expensive engine, but nonetheless I'm going to bet they understand the three-way competetion and price fairly competitively....not that that won't be creeping right up on $30,000k with anything in the way of options.
