how do you figure that to be a 40k car..

For the hardtop model, the most expensive sub model's starting price (2SS) is $34k, the most expensive convertible (2SS) is $5k more than that.
Maybe after the wheel, wheel paint, and car paint, maybe over $40k.. But if thats the cheapest model of the 2011 lineup (LS), that's less than $23k.. Therefore under $40k after all the crap done to it..
I know its new, but its a Camaro, not a Vette.
Vettes are $49k - $74k, if thats what you're thinking about..

i figure I should attach something with this, but my phone is being repaired atm, so I'm stuck with g00gle

I just don't understand it. Crank up the volume and listen. This is inside my car with the window cracked about an inch and that awful noise is the sound of the trunk AND bumper of the car next to me rattling

back wheels look smaller than the front wheels and they're both too small and sticking out what must be an inch from the wheel well.
