Price Poll!
Ok so the prices are finally out, and i noticed some people like myself comparing and complaining already. Some of you didn't seem too bothered about the prices, so lets see where this poll takes us as far as the CZ28 community is concerned.
Wait for it......

A 1989 TTA's MSRP was $31,223.00 and it had 300HP, 20 years later you can get a 300HP V6 with better gas milage for about 10k less.
I don't see how people have any room to bitch.
I guees if it's too much people can go enjoy thier Camry

Just did a build comparison of the 2SS with the SRT8. Not even close to comparing.
Horsepower: SRT8 426, Camaro 422
Color options: SRT8=4(Silver, Black, Red Orange) Camaro=6 Same as, but add Red Jewel and Yellow
Interior options: SRT8=1 Slate Gray, Camaro =4, black, gray, beige and custom
Other options:
Tranny: SRT8 - Auto Standard, manual $695, Camaro - Manual Standard, Auto $995(My experience with chevy is that they deduct from an auto standard car to put in a manual)
Performance tires: $100, Standard on 2SS
Sunroof: SRT8 $950, Camaro $900
Premium sound: SRT8: $1045, Standard on 2SS
Want GPS add $1240 on the SRT8, not available on the 2SS
In total, all things being comparitivley equal, the SRT8 offers less choices for making a unique car and has nothing glaringly better than the camaro on any level.
The 2SS/RS car I built and ordered came in at $36,070 and is a fully loaded 2SS with all I wanted, and extra cost Paint. The same SRT8 sells for $45,535.
To me that equates to about $9465 for 4 additional horsepower and less options.
Haven't comapred it to the Mustang yet, but I wll leave it to others if they are interested.
The 2SS/RS Camaro is a real value compared the the SRT8 Challenger.
I do think the same will hold true across all base models, but don't have the time to compare each one.
Have a great day!

I think GM has really trumped the competition with this car. It's astounding when you go back through some of the old posts about wishes/hopes/wants for the features on the new Camaro, and so many of those things have been included.
That said, I think GM outclassed itself with the V6 cars. Six years ago in 2002...(according to MSN Autos)
A base V6 started at $18,415
base Z28 at $22,830.
I won't say that the '10 base LS doesn't command a $4k price increase--especially since it has 100hp more than its predecessor, and a lot more standard equipment and safety features. But, I think there's a hole in the market now that's loosely covered by the FWD Cobalt SS and...more similar to the Camaro...the V6 Mustang.
Especially in the base model, I don't think people are most receptive to features like an IRS suspension, a 5-speed vs 6-speed automatic, etc. I just hope GM didn't drop the bottom out of the Camaro's success by charging what feels like a "premium" to get a V6 car with some goodies.

Im ok with the pricing info. I just hope my credit is on par, not sure though. For those that are complaining about 2-3000, over what you thought the price should be.... if the extra 20.00 a month in the payment is the sole reason you will no longer buy a new Camaro then you should definitely wait untill you can put a little more down on the principal.

The price of the SS is alittle higher than I had expected. It wouldn't stop me from buying one though, if that's what I wanted.
One thing though, how does this fit in with Chevy's stated mission statement that the SS sub-brand represents "attainable performance"?
