And I said MID-LEVEL V8, as some where between the V6s and the Hi-po V8s, not "MIDDLE V8", there is a difference.

Re: What do we know about the 5th gen so far?
Stars....I am a little excited at what you said about my previous post concerning the Gen3 power plant.
I also have a question wouldn't the LS2-LS7 be considered a Gen-4 or am I totally wrong.
Also was very excited at your response twords the COPO question.
Basicly what I am wanting to know is if there is any chance of getting a 427 in a Camaro?

Lets do some math:
Base GT 26k right now
Camaro V8 26,500k
+leather+stereo+auto+whatever else = your at 29 to 30k pretty fast....

"Hey Mustang, wanna race?"
Why does Pontiac put money into car adds that state, faster than competitors including Mustang?
the base price for a V8 Deluxe is $25,860 You dont think Ford dealers arent going to knock off that Dealer mark up crap the minute Camaro and Challenger hit the streets? Ford fans cant wait for competition so Ford will drop their prices and improve their car.
GTO is not a pony car but it was GMs only entry to taunt the Mustang...

Well you said GTs sell for around 30 then you said they dont sell for less than 27??? Point is MSRP GT Deluxe starts mid 25 where I would think Camaro would be. Dealer markup and convertables dont count.

Still what’s your point? A V8 Sport coupe will be sold for about 30k

Heck, thats even if any of us will be able to find one for sale. With the reactions around the country these things are gonna sell quick(hopefully without large dealer markups).
Also, why do you want a v8, is it the power, or because you want to say you have a v8?

Who's to say that you'll be able to get a V8 Mustang for that by the time Camaro comes out.
