It won't take that long... GM will be bankrupt in two weeks.

It's a true sports car. I'm seeing most reviews indicate the car is more refined than what they'd expect from a musclecar. Handling will be impressive.

Damn... poor guy. Can't you argue with dealers saying it's 10k over the invoice? And only PAY invoice?

I saw a red SS today, wow, what a good looking car. It has a good road presence and a mean stance about it. If I was looking for a muscle car , hands down I would get that SS Camaro in a heart beat! The Mustang looks weak in comparison and the Challenger looks like a large square boat on wheels. The thing that I really don't like about the Challenger is that it already looks dated for a retro design.

Pictures do nothing for the Camaro , in real life its a 100 times better looking.
Good job GM!

So anything on there that helps with physics? While I'm sure those suspension mods and an alignment help a great deal there just isn't something you can do about the extra 1,000lbs and general size of the vehicle.

I like the Challenger and the Camaro but handling while considerably better than in years past just isn't what they do best. Look mean and sound mean and lay two fat strips of rubber? Hell yeah.

Not that it's new technology it's just that it's the first Camaro ever to have Vette like suspension. I picked up my Black on Black 2SS last Friday and have been smiling ever since.

Yes I paid MSRP people paying over are buying cars that people ordered and backed out of. My dealer promised me MSRP the day I ordered and we both signed that agreement.

The dealers are asses for charging over like that, and most aren't doing it.


Everything on the ground right now are cars that were pre-ordered. I ordered on October 14th and just got it last friday. There were a few "display cars" that the dealers got to drive in a parade on May 5th the official release day, and some are selling those for way over. All of the those cars were orange

^^^ aw that sucks man. somebody toilet papered your new car?

We need some better shots than that!!! Dimly lit garage camera phone pics FTL.

Let's just clarify. The Camaro's rear suspension doesn't have much similar to the Vette's other than its "independent"... a double wishbone transverse leaf spring suspension compared to a multi-link coil spring rear suspension.

I bet you heard that line from a salesman... AM I RIGHT?
