I was just as excited as anybody when I heard it was going to be a production car. But then I began to think of what happened when ford brought out the new mustang and when chrysler realeased the 300. It totally turned things around.
I see the camaro doing the same for Chevy. Now, I don't feel like spending my hard earned money on a car that I think will be all over the place.
I'm saving up for a used C6 instead.

Driving a beater now and saving hoping to land a 2009-2010 Camaro/GTO depending on the engine/drivetrain/looks, etc...
I've got $6600 saved up so far. I want to have $8K for a down payment by the time they come out. I sold my 99 turbo camaro, and I'm driving a 98 ford escort with 105K miles and no air conditioning.
I plan on getting the most optioned out camaro they make with the biggest engine. I don't want a limited production camaro like a ZL1 though. Car and driver is speculating a $35K sticker for a fully optioned car.
I am gonna keep my escort and DD it until it explodes, and drive the new camaro whenever I feel like it.

wow dude...some plan as me exactly...... my 99 Z28 is just about paid off..... I figure I am going to keep the mileage low (currently @58,000 miles) pay the car off in about a year and a half... save some money....just got a HUGE job promotion to sweeten the deal... and get some GM points going on my GM card.. I even got the nod from my wife... I will not buy one however until the 2nd year......just look at what they did with the GTO the 2nd year...
CAN'T WAIT for this car!!
I really want a Black one..but at the same time.... really want a silver one...
The 01 Firebird will be paid off in november and then time to start saving for the new camaro or GTO. I like the fact we are seeing the camaro and getting news about it but this GTO being such a secret is kind of annoying.
My car is getting paid off this summer. I will be saving money each month towards it. Hopefully I'll have enough for a nice downpayment. If I can get $5-10K I would be very happy. I would just finance the rest.

I want the limited verision Z28. It's estimated at around 40k loaded. I should be ready by the time it comes out.
I can imagine myself driving in a fully loaded 500hp Z.
Will see how it goes, but no, I don't think I'll get rid of my Camaro.

I think people don't complain about weight enough. The benefits of less weight are tremendous. Better acceleration,less wear on brakes and tires,better braking,better fuel economy, etc. ad nauseum.
I stick by what I say they NEED to start losing weight not adding it.
