Re: Price New Camaro

28,999 US $


I think under 30k.. The half from a Corvette or Z06?

Re: Price New Camaro

According to Bob Lutz....

Base V6 around $20K...but certainly well below $25K. V8 versions slightly above or below $30K.

well i hope the v8 is priced well under 30k if not i see a future failure due to being over priced, price it low pump out serious volume and gm will still profit off the volume of units sold,

Re: Price New Camaro

LS2 Z/28 well equipped (as in base V8 if there ever could be one) priced at 26k in 2005 or 2006 dollars would be cool. However I wonder what sort of cost savings can be had with the F-bod over the Goat?

I don't see it being "well under" 30k. I see a 5.3 version (300+ HP Mustang competitor) just under 30k. We have to be realistic. A loaded (mostly) V8 Mustang is around 29k, I see a 5.3 SS in this Area.

LS2 with 400+ HP will be over 30k, don't kid yourself...

Re: Price New Camaro

What makes the 5.3l significantly cheaper? Aren't it and the 6.0l LS2 more or less the same guts and size wise. Kinda like the old 305s vs 350s, don't see why one was really any cheaper to make than the other.

If the 5.3l is making 350ish hp they can't really skimp on the drivetrain and save costs there, probably cheaper just to use the same tranny/reared/whatever else drivetrain related on all the normal V8s. Where is this 5.3l going to save $3-4k + over a LS2??

GM needs to say hey if were going to get a 20 something age group which i belive most of potential buyers will be in the mid to late 20's early 30's then they need to consider it "well under 30k" as the averege person struggles enough as it to get by so priceing it above 30k will turn away many potential buyers as they will not be able to afford both a car/ insurance payment, so under 30k will be a huge step if gm can pull it off, if not then i see a failure in the future due to lack of sales just like the goat, now they cant give goats away...

At last!!! Someone with some sense!!!!!! 5.3 makes 300hp and to mod it, It would cost the same as the ls2.

Re: Price New Camaro

A new goat already costs over $30k, be lucky if the new Z28 is around $35k

Re: Price New Camaro

If its over 30k for a "small" V-8 forget it,its doomed.The GTO's downfall is no entry level performance for around 25K,color and trans is all you get at 32K thank you very much.GM better wake up if they think the 25-35 crowd w/wife + morgage and maybe kids can plunk down $600.00 a month plus high insurance for a weekend cruiser

You don't only get color and trans for that price it pretty much comes loaded sans satellite navigation. I do agree that to be competetive with the mustang they need a v8 at $25,000~ price but I doubt the 5.3l ls4 costs any less money to make than the 6l ls2. Unless they use a cast iron v8 out of a truck or something.

Not my point,It's loaded already and you only get to chose color/trans.How about NO leather/traction control/windows/locks with a sticker of $26K for a GTO,would it sell?
