2010 Camaro
I'm not too sure, but if the new Camaro and soon to come revision of the Corvette help lower the price of C6's, I'd totally take a used Vette over a new Camaro. Solely because I don't like new cars.

Well I'm just the opposite of you I already own a c6 and I am selling it to later own a new camaro. There are so many vettes on the road out here that I see. Don't get me wrong though if my money is right when I am ready to get my new car I might see if I can get a c6 z06.

At the time, those were acceptable power levels for a new V8 Camaro. But your comparison is apples to oranges. Calling an upper trim level model with the base V6 engine an “LT” won’t have much (if any) effect on sales. Do you really think that someone buying a V6 Camaro is going to care if it’s called an “LT” or an “RS”? On the other hand, try releasing a brand new V8 Camaro with 240hp in today’s market and see how well that goes over. You can buy a new Camry with more horsepower.
I don't think it is nearly as retro as the challenger. The camaro looks awesome. I hope to god that we don't have 02 like sales. Let's face it the 4th gen was a rough riding, outdated car in 02 (flame away), that's why sales were down and the car was canceled. The camaro can't exist on enthusiests alone.
yeah they're called IROC-Z i had 2 lol
i'm waitin till 2010 or 2011 to get my SS red with black stripes! or maybe black with red stripes

How is a 300hp base V6, a 405hp LS3 V8, and a 500hp+ LSA supercharged V8 being screwed? Isn't that what Yahoo is rumoring?
Either way, what the hell does Yahoo know.
2008 Mustangs still don't make as much power as a 1998 Camaro. Now THAT's getting screwed.

Cuz you know GM will promote the 300hp V6 to sell the most. The 1 V8 option will be limited production & overpriced. Who wants to role around in a rice-sounding V6? Not most people on this site. They want a decent but not overpriced V8 that is attainable. Of course this is all speculation....lets hope so!
" The base LS may be powered by Chevy's 3.5-liter pushrod V-6 making about 220 bhp. The LT models would use the overhead-cam direct-injected 3.6-liter V-6 developing upward of 300 bhp, while the SS will be powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 (similar to that found in the Corvette) tuned to produce around 400–405 bhp"

Wow you guys are sensitive. I was just painting the picture, in case yahoo is right. Have you ever heard a domestic V6 exhaust as compared to a V8 sound........there is no comparison. They all sound ricey. There is more to a car, then just simply, what it does in a straightline. It must suck to be so stubborn.

An LS3 Camaro will NOT be limited in production, nor will it come with a GT500 sticker price. You know how I know? Because nobody is going to pay $40k+ for an LS3 Camaro when an LS3 Corvette is just a couple thousand more. Nobody.
Now, I can see an LSA superchared Camaro going for $40k+ and selling. That'll likely be a 500hp+ car.
I am confident that we'll see an unlimited production, 400ish HP LS3 Camaro selling for $30-35k depending on options. This will not be a supercar that you never see at dealers or on the road. You just wait.
