Well maybe we'll see more of these weight reduced track versions. The best thing about the Camaro at this point is they offer one for every type of driver/person at numerous price points. Now that's impressive!

I personally prefer the Viper's method. You get one car, or you get a better version. You either want the car or you don't lol.

It's a different way. I do like Ford's way a little better. GM gives you everything with few options which makes the cost start high. Ford allows you to get as basic as you want and option it out. The only thing I don't like with Ford is the things they wont let you get unless you buy a Premium. For example. I was very mad that I paid 2500 for the track pack but I cannot get the track apps unless I pay another 4000 for a premium. To me that is bullshit. There are some other options that don't make sense that you can only get with a premium.

Agreed. I think that Track Apps should have been an option for base GT cars. I would have gladly paid another $1,200 to get that in my base car, because I know everything is already there for me to use it, just need the gauge cluster.

Leave the leather seats and the nav unit for the premium people.

You know the Z/28 is a great car when people have to scrape for excuses like this to not like it. I've never been to a GM board meeting but, I do assume that a Camaro was not one of the board members.

What's wrong with liking cars from other manufacturers? So far as I have seen, no one is bothered by you liking imports but, this is a Ford forum.

Never said it wasn't a great car. It's doing what it was built to do, and that's tear the track up. But it's all in retrospect as to what exactly GM is trying to accomplish with this car.

Dom, just let the thread roll. I rather read this bailout stuff rather than yet another thread of you and RX7 butting heads about everything under the sun.

You do realize the other thread was created so that people that want to discuss the bailout can have their own thread so you would NOT have to see it in this thread right?

This reminds me of being in pre-K and seeing the children trying to force a square shape into a triangle opening. We have an Off Topic section and an Other Cars section but oddly enough discussing GMs bailout is appropriate in a the Other Cars section in a thread about a Camaro. Very interesting.

It's better than reading you and RX7 arguing about anything.

You're speaking to one of the biggest trolls on the board. And a damn good one.

Local dealer has one. Dad said sticker was $76k but didn't ask how much markup was cause he was hardly impressed. He said he'd rather trade his c7 in on a used zr1 or a the new c7 z06 when it comes out
