I ordered my original '02 SS with the parameters of 6 speed, t-tops and leather. Anything else was flexible. Well, I got screwed out of the Navy Blue Metallic with neutral leather when the dealer sold it someone else. Soo...I went searching and found a 35th for about the same price (couple grand under sticker). It has everything except traction control. No biggie. With all of the rebates I had stacked on top of an awesome deal with my salesman, I was out the door with a 35th anniversary SS coupe for $28k and change (including tax, tag, title, etc.). The car stickered for just over $32k.

A new Camaro would most likely be an SS. I have 2 SS's ('87 Monte and the Camaro) and want to add to the fleet. However, if the car is priced a tad out of range, I'll stick with the most power I can get in the cheapest trim.

I bought used because A) they dont make camaros anymore, and B) I cant afford a new one at 17 yo anyway...

My car is a 95 Z28 with every option except leather and stereo upgrades... both of which I have upgraded myself, so you could consider my car loaded.

 

Loaded with everything. AC, pwr windows, pwr door locks, pwr drivers seat, ect...

 

'95 Z with every option but leather, T-tops and traction control.

 

Well, mine was $25,800 in '97, to be exact So I dare say, yes it was fully loaded...anniversary package, leather, t-tops, PEG-2, CD changer, everything except TCS. Therefore, it is exactly the way I would have wanted to buy a USED one (bought it March '01 with 41k on the clock).

Now, if I had bought it new, it would have been a basic Z28 with the power group, t-tops, and yes, the anniversary package (only $595 in '97). I would not have opted for leather, the CD changer, or even a nicer stereo...cassette would have been yanked anyways. I never would have paid for mine brand new. Hence why I push so hard for that damned base car V8

 

Even though I own a base RS now, (but want an IROC also) if I could have bought one new I would have ordered a loaded 350 TPI IROC-Z28 the 1st year they were available, in 87. If we had a setup like the 1st Gen it would be a Z28, with chambered exhaust.

 

Had a 92 RS w/ the 5.0 LO3 engine...perfect car for us at the time.

Next, had a "midlevel" equivalent 2k1 Formula Firebird, loaded except for Hurst and CD Changer

 

I voted for the Camaro I bought new in 98. It was a V6 car with T-tops, Auto, Alloy wheels, Upgraded Stereo w/tape deck (didn't want, but settled for).

That's it, so I put down Base V6 w/ little or no options.

Z28 prices were out of my league and I couldn't find a good used one that I'd be happy with at the time. I did find it 2 years later, and am driving it now!

 

96 Z28 w/ 6spd, t-tops, soon to be removed traction control and fully loaded minus CD player and leather.

 

My 97 was loaded, leather, chrome rims, everything but ttops, my 96 had everything but chrome wheels and ttops

 

I bought my 93 Z new. The only options I wanted for sure was 6 speed and a CD player. It also had power windows, locks and driver seat, fog lights, rear window defroster, floor mats, Z rated tires and the 150 mph speedo. T tops hadn't came out yet and leather wasn't available in 93. I liked the way my car was optioned and had I ordered it I wouldn't have changed a thing.

 

I chose the loaded V6 RS option since my engine makes the power of most V6's But its got leather, power everything, the F41 suspension (base Z28 suspension), ttops etc.

 

Z28 Loaded: T-Tops, Leather, Power Seat, Premium Sound Option, TCS, Key-Less Entry, Security Alarm

On 4th Gen. F-Bodies there should have been a 17" wheel option for the Z28. 16" wheels just didn't cut it with that kind of power.
