Back a few pages, this thread was about about the Camaro coming in under $30k. I still think it can, and I say that because a base G8 with a V8 comes in at $29,995.

it would indeed suit GM more if the camaro SS did indeed come in under 30K (which is still more than traditional camaro owners would like to pay for a base model V8 car) but looking at whats available out there, it wouldnt surprise me if it "missed the mark" by a bit. Maybe by about 10% .
BTW for 2009 the base G8 GT is almost $1000 MORE sitting at $30,675

In the car world, it's '09 now. The '09s have rolled out.

And the Camaro does have more content. It has those cool little gauges, some neato 20' wheels, wider tires, an LS3 engine, 40-60 hp more (which is actually MORE powerfull than the G8's PREMIUM engine) some interior mood lighting, much MUCH larger brakes (which the rears are actually LARGER than the G8's PREMIUM model) and a supposed stronger rear end (mag article said it was an 8.5 while the G8's is an 8.3). But I guess either that's all free, or G8 owners are getting torn a new one by GM.

Wow, if you don't know the difference between standard and optional content, then I now understand your inability to wrap your mind around what I am saying.

What I see here is a mustang guy, just PRAYING that he can find something to comlpain about with a new Camaro. Good luck, I am not going to waste the keystrokes trying to educate you anymore. I might make fun of you some more, but no more car lessons.

BTW the base G8 GT (with MUCH less under the hood, less braking power,smaller wheels among other things than the Camaro SS) comes in at $31,360 MSRP w/destination charges
