I take that as the cost for the base camaro plus the cost of custom paint and options specific for these camaros, Not that the actual MSRP for a base camaro will be 40K.

Oh sure ... now that they're going to give away the car for FREE, you guys decide that you want the Bumblebee 
.....
..... I thought nobody wanted the "Bumblebee" look, 'cause it would be too cliche, or it was too "yellow", or it would be silly having Autobot logos on the steering wheel, etc.???
I've been a big fan of the yellow w/black stripes look ever since ... well, ever since I've seen ANY Camaro with that paint scheme!
... but in particular, after seeing the first leaked images of the (Saleen) Bumblebee car 
.
Well, consider me signed up and waiting patiently to take delivery of my Bumblebee!!! 
(that's right, keep smoking the crack pipe!!!!)

Anyway, yes, I have to assume that $40,000 price has a lot to do with the custom work done on it. I wonder if it's a V6 or V8? It does say base Camaro after all. C'mon, how could you make the Bumblebee a V6 car?
