Anyone know how much the new camaros weigh?

 

around 3800lbs

 

it really isnt base entry level any of that crap muscle. its supposed to be a bit higher with all of its extra amenities and omgz!! we have to pay an actually fair amount for a 400hp+ corvette motor! quit looking at it that way, think about what else comes with the 1SS. convertibles won't be out for 1 year+, pricing is not available yet, and it offers no actual useful utility, so there.

i'll be getting a white hardtop LS (no sunroof) with only minimal of options i think are neccessary. auto or manual, we'll see how they drive.

 

This is where GM has gone a little wrong. The Camaro was always the value car, for that matter Chevrolet was always the value brand (before anyone says "But the Corvette...", note that there's no bowtie to be found on a Corvette). In '02, I could have bought a Z28 coupe with T-tops and electrics for under $22k, and I bought my SS vert for about $30k thanks to supplier pricing and the incentives that were around to clear out the inventory - this was November '02, after production stopped, and many dealerships were putting big premiums on the remaining F-bodies in the hope they would be considered collectible - they weren't convincing many buyers. Likewise you couldn't get a GTO in the first year without a 'market adjustment', and sales were very slow.
As for Corvettes, they were supposed to be the premium sportscar, and for many years they sold close to sticker, but during the 4th gen's time, the C5 outsold the Camaro, and despite production cuts at one point, GM started discounts and special pricing to keep them moving. The differential was narrowing, and I did find myself looking at Corvettes during my shopping trip. The price premium does get a lot of extra technology, like composite bodywork you won't get on a Camaro (the composite panels on the 4th gen were there to keep down tooling costs, but came at the expense of part price, plus they weren't the same lightweight material the Corvette uses).
Now is not the time to be launching a high end Chevrolet, I'd think this should be significantly cheaper, save the trick features for a special version, or maybe the parallel Pontiac range. Do we think they'll do that this time? I'd have still gotten a Formula Firebird over a WS6 last time.

 

Sure you will be able to get the Camaro SS at Invoice when it hits dealers lots.
It takes no smarts to know Chevy dealers are closing all over the country as of now.
Banks are not loaning GM dealers moneys and dealers have cars and trucks they cannot get rid off...
People are not even walking into dealers........
When Feb or March rolls around it will be harder to get a low interest rate
or maybe many people will not be able to get credit...

When the chevy dealers first get the 2010 Camaro SS in,,,they will give you the car at INVOICE....
Reason is GM will flood that market place with these cars and dealers know that the cars will be sitting on their lots if they want MSRP or over..
But then again they might just sit there anyway....
But then again GM might not be in business at that time?????

 

I will have to wait for somebody to buy a SS and sell it back to Chevy and hopefully they get the options I want and buy it used Maybe the price might drop acouple of hundred dollars

 

Do you mean LS or LT? There are no options available on the LS other than auto trans, floormats and a spare tire.

 

So am'I blind or what? I don't see a ttop option? I see a power sunroof.

Excuse my stupidity.

 

No T-tops for the new Camaro. Someone had a photoshop version and it actually looked really good.

 

I could be wrong, but it looks to me like GM killed it before it even hit the street. All I have wanted for as long as I can remember is a brand new Camaro with a v8 and no options(get into it for a good price and haul some ***), but it looks like they have gone the same route as the 4th gen(which if you don't remember killed the platform)and only offer fully loaded over priced cars. I have had 2 v8 4th gen cars and yeah they ran good but the quality is horrible. From looking at new GM products it looks like the quality hasn't gone up any, but the price sure has.

You guys can say what you want about the new Mustangs being dated, but I see them on the street and at the track, and for the money the camaro doesn't stand a chance in sales.

Lets face it Camaro's have never held their value, and to get a v8 model you are looking at spending $35k+ on a car that is going to lose a lot of value before you even pay it off.

And that's if GM can stay open until the release date lol.

 

It's still an apple to oranges comparison.

Jake answered most of it. However, I also wouldn't go on to say that when compared to the other cars in its segment that the Mustang's chassis is "cutting edge." Actually to think that the current Mustang's suspension is modern at all is laughable.

Sure, but if my buddy put a turbo on his new Camaro then who would be laughing then...

 

See, that right there kills it for me. The ttops made that car I think. I've had several f bodies and they all had ttops. For me personally that is a must for an fbody.

What a sad sad day it is...

 

Ooook...lol..now you have a $50000 camaro

 

I think we are missing the point here.

The DOHC V6 Camaro will have over 300HP--very competitive with the V8 Mustang. While Ford plans to up the power on the Mustang, we haven't seen how the will price the more powerful 'Stang.

You can get a "Mustang Clone" 300-plus HP Camaro for a price competitive with the same HP 'Stang.

The V8, Brembo, 6 Sp Super Camaro will be a baby Corvette for the high 30K range-still much cheaper than a Corvette. It will likely run with the Corvette but for its extra weight. It will demolish the heavy, underpowered current Mustang. My guess is the higher-HP Mustang promised will be priced about the same.

We are in strange times. When the economy returns to normal, the Camaro will be much cheaper than a Corvette and you will get nearly Corvette performance from it but for the extra heft.

And gas prices are going back down now....

 

Sure, but if my buddy put a turbo on his new Camaro then who would be laughing then...
