Default Who's getting one??

There's a lot of discussion about the fifth gen, but who is actually planning/saving to get a 2009 Camaro. I know I am!! Anybody else here as pumped as I am?

Getting rid of the G6 in '09 to get a camaro. Probably will be the very base model. Then in '10 I will pick up another one that is more performance oriented. We all know the basic mods to the vehicle would start shortly there after. I can't wait.

Im only 18 right now but im planning on getting one But i would like to see what GM will do for the 2010 model. Im going to buy something from GM next month when i turn 19 and buy it on a 1st buyers program and finance it through GMAC so by the time 2009 rolls around i should have good credit with GMAC and they will be more inclined to let me buy the car.

Definitely will get one.

Might flip to a GTO for a couple years, but regardless, a 5th Gen Camaro is in my future!

already got my name to the list at green chevrolet. I've been told the 5.3L is a top canidate for the first couple years of production as well as an LS8 option to compete with the GT500. Not 100% sure of any of this yet just going by dealership info. Hope they make a mopar type blue I think it would look good
