LS3 powered Camaro
This would make a nice stable mate to our vettes - http://www.camaro5.com/
I know that dealers will be allowed to start actually selling them today and dealers will have the full and complete pricing, options and colors in their on-line system. Does $30K sound to good to be true for an LS3 powered SS???
I'm leary.

It'l be $38k unless they offer an SS stripper (like a 1LE). Still might be one of the best camaros to come around in decades, but I didn't wait because a $40k vette seems better than a $40k 2-ton touring coupe. It would be cool to have both, but my other hot rod is an awd turbo 4 cyl.

wife wants a Vert when they come out. i think these things will be a dime a dozen on the road like the Stang. I just hope it doesn't end up becoming the Rental Car King.

Just returned from my local Chevy dealer. I placed an order for my son who is in Iraq and due back next April. Here's what he ordered:
RPO Code MSRP Price
2SS 34,180
WRS 1,200
Total 35,380 + destination
He has a 2005 Caddy STS he's trading in.
This field trip has peaked my interest. $35K for a nicely option Camaro SS (422HP, Bembro brakes, HID, Bluetooth)
Paid MSRP, was hoping they'd discount as heavily as they are doing for the vette, but I couldn't get them to budge.

Yes I was thinking the same thing. The G8 GT has the 6.0 liter V-8 with 361 hp and the upcoming G8 GXP has the 6.2 liter V-8 with something like 402 hp. I looked at a G8 GT this weekend with the leather and sport packages and the sticker was right at $33,000. It looks like a nice daily driver.

$8,000 for 2 more cylinders! Who would have ever thought a Chevy V8 would command such a premium over a 6. I paid $800 for a complete forged crank long block assembly a couple years ago. Good luck to them, but $31k for a Camaro is ridiculous, even with today's dollarettes. $23k for a V8 Camaro might have been a winner, if the car weren't so fat and pig ugly, but they've priced themselves right out of the mullet market with this one.
