kinda depends on what comes out in 09 being they havent told us what engine it will come out with
if it dosn't come with the ability to run 12's all stock with an Auto i'll wait for something better to come along

My current feelings are to wait at least towards the end of the first years run and see what the plans are for the 2010 models. I am tempted to wait a year to get the bugs fixed but I also really really really want one right now.

lol the plain jane z28 is SUPPOSED to be the top of the line camaro, with the ss being the "middle" package option. And even if who said anything being plane about a z-28 package?? There are guys on this board who have modded there z28 to look better then most SS's.

I plan to buy one in 2010 because that will be when my truck is paid off. But...if the ls7 or hugger orange showed up in 2009, I'd have to think about it. I absolutely won't buy one with dealer mark-up though.

I will buy one once the fever dies down and the dealers quit trying to rape customers on the price.

I agree, that would definitely sway me a bit.

this poll needs a third option: "not buying in '09 for fear of getting a lemon."
I would give them at least a year to get the bugs out of the new design. Especially if it debuts with an engine that's new that same year as well.
There may not be any noteworthy problems, but that's a ~$30k gamble.
