Default Will there be a Berger SS?

Like the title states, do you believe that Berger Chevrolet in MI will make a special "Berger SS" for the new Camaro? How much additional cost do you think it will incur? What options do you think it will have?

Well, Berger Chevrolet will be the ultimate decision maker on that, but I see no reason why they wouldn't do it.

Matt Berger and Matt Murphy are chomping at the bit to get started on a new Camaro. Both have been discussing it and at the press intro in Detroit they were already looking at ways to mod it. Matt Murphy was complaining to the designers at Camaro Superfest that the huge wheels will slow it down. Berger has also asked our club, the West Michigan Camaro Club, to help promote Berger and the new Camaro as they want to be the premier Camaro dealer in the US. We'll see what they come up with. The answer is not "if" but "when".

As soon as the concept came out I started saving money for a 09' Berger Camaro SS. I can't wait to see what they come up with.

We'll see what Matt Murphy says Saturday at the Berger Chevy Show. Maybe he has some concept drawings worked up of appearance mods for it.

I don't think anyone can disagree with Berger making another Camaro, they have done an amazing job in the past. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did one.
