Top of the line Camaro
Dream on if they make a big-inch supercharged version.
Otherwise, for an LS3 and fully loaded, that wouldn't be a bad price at all. It's less than a new C6.
i just want them to offer a stripper with the fastest engine and lowest gears! Get it down to almost the fourth gen price range!

Not that a poor College kid like me could afford it, but I'm tired of all the hype with the Shelby GT500, even though it has a crappy rear live axle. I think its a fair price.
And because I hate them, it would also eat up a percentage of Porche's Boxter and Cayman sales, another smile on my face

Hell No I will not pay that ******* much money for a camaro. That is ridiculous. This is the poor man's sports car. When did the poor man get so friggin much money. GM is out of its head if it attempts to sell them for so much. That is ridiculous!!!

P.S. Paying that much for a Stang is just as ridiculous. These are cheap cars for normal ppl...they are not meant for such prices.

Either way, it was nice hearing the informed opinion of a financial anyalyst specializing in the automotive industry.

$40,000 for a 400 hp LS3 is a disgrace. Why not pony up an extra $5000 and buy a Vette? The Camaro needs to be at least $10,000 cheaper than the Vette or it’s going to have an up hill battle.
I think it will be ~$10K under for an LS3 Camaro. But, you add almost $5K for "fully loaded top of the line" and you have $40K. $35K+$5K=$40K.
IIRC, the SS option onto a Z28 was ~$3,500. Add another $500 for basic upgrades and you have $4,000 in 2002 4th gen money. This is 2007 and we're talking about a 5th gen. $5K for to make an equivalent LS3 Z28 into an equaivalent LS3 SS fully loaded isn't reaching at all.

ls3=430
So you would pay 40k for 2009 Camaro z28 with the base v8 engine with approx 430hp?

Hell the GTO which was 400hp was sold around $30. The LS1 Camaro SS was also around $30. $40 grand needs to be a 500hp camaro. I thinks its a good chance Dodge is going for the Shelby why not GM. But that's just me. $40 thousand for a camaro and I might have to jump ship.

2005 GTO was over 30 as well, I know a lot of people paid less than sticker but the point of this thread is sticker price.

From what sharpe said, that is a good deal but I don't.

The aftermarket is always a cheaper option, so if I want different wheels/tires, engine mods for more HP, or a different style hood then I can get them later when my checking account allows verses adding thousands more to my price tag on the car alone.
If you can buy a v8 camaro for 27,750 I would be suprised.
