So far as I can tell, signs point to you being the idiot.
Is "Fixed." a proper sentence Mr. Smartypants? I don't type to impress anyone and you certainly fall into that category. What's wrong with paying MSRP you ask? Nothing if you don't mind wasting money.

There's only a 5% markup in the car invoice to MSRP

I wont be buying one, simply because this whole retro interior thing has gone too far. Pay 35K for a car that has a 60s look on the inside, no thanks.
Then go away.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Is it really that hard to understand. While I agree that we had been led (more probably led ourselves) to believe we could go to Ford.com, click build your own Mustang, and know within a grand what the Camaro would cost, we missed the other half of the equation that included the Challenger. While you may think Ford is laughing at Chevy, Dodge certainly isn't.

If any of you have ever paid MSRP your an idiot....I'm sorry but if your willing to spend $540 on a premium GT but not $625 on a Camaro SS then wtf is wrong with you....The 4th gen wasn't half the car the 5th gen will be.
So, on one hand you're telling me I'm an idiot for paying MSRP this morning, then you follow it up by how superior this car is to anything in the past.

Ok, then I'm a fool. BUT, I'll be banging my 2SS/RS through all 6 gear shifts by March. Will you?

Geeze, you people kill me. THIS IS NO SHOCK THAT THE CAR IS THIS MUCH. We ALL wanted it to be cheaper- duh.

You need to chill out, everyone is entitled to their opinion so don't bash them for it. If someone thinks it's too expensive then let it be, you don't manage anyone's funds. Everyone expected it to be in the Mustang price range, too bad it's not and it's driving a few people that were interested in purchasing away now. I, myself am no longer interested and it makes my decision making even better for a new Corvette, i really expected the base 1SS to be in the 26k range. Hopefully GM will not be making a mistake with this one, and we better hope the new Mustang will be priced around the same.

I'm not bashing anyone- just defending being apparently an "idiot". I honestly think a lot of people fooled themselves into believing the SS line would be 4-5k cheaper. It just wasn't real. Everyone wanted to look at the Mustang and ignore the Challenger. The Camaro fell in between where it should have. Some may say I paid too much for the 2SS/RS - so be it. I contend that I got a lot more car for 36k than the Challenger for 42k.

What did I just say? The 425 HP SRT Challenger is 42k compared to 36 for the 422HP Camaro. But, ok, go buy a Dodge.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator, that's $22,426 in today's dollars - so pretty darn close to the 2010 LS.



2002 Z28 convertible base price was $29,925. That's $36,443 in today's dollars.
I was thinking SS vert

so much for scott saying the car would be priced similar to a mustang...a loaded 2SS is only 6k less than a barebone C6...

this also likely means a convert 2SS is over 40k...so much for the camaro being the corvette for every man

INFLATION!!!

Base cost for an '02 Z/28 Coupe, no options was $22,800. If we do 7 years of inflation on this base price @ 3% inflation we net $27,500.00. At 4% inflation we are at $30,000 even. All things considered, the base is roughly the same cost as it was in 2002, inflation adjusted. I did not include tax, destination charge, etc for ease of reading.

For the SS, it started at $32,780. Again, at 3% inflation for 7 years we net $40,300. At 4% we net $43,000.00.

Bottom line, prices are roughly where they were 7 years ago, so I dont understand why everyone is complaining.



As for the mustang comparison, you get what you pay for and I will leave it at that

The only problem I have w/ that analogy is that the 5th gen SS is more akin to the 4th gen Z28. W/ the 4th gen SS, not only did you get the V8 and associated hardware, but you got a different hood, spoiler, and exhaust. It would have been nice for the 1SS and 2SS to have a bit more exterior distinction than its V6 bretherin, which was the same argument made against the 4th gen Z28.
