Man I really think I am close to pulling the plug on the new Camaro and buying a house for 30k less. That way I can have my house and the bad *** Camaro.

Yeah, LS3 is really strong engine. I did went to chevy dealer last Friday to check them out. Only had V6 model. It didn't look great in person. It was OK at best. Is there any difference in look between SS model and V6?
But I could definitely imagine how simple mods like coilovers, simple lip kits, and fatter rims can make it look really nice.
But as of now, I would rather go with gt500 and up the boost.

Yea plus if you think you are gonna find an SS for 30k you're kidding yourself. The dealership was taking pre orders for the V-6 with the car financed starting at 5k over msrp or 34,999 the ss is anticipated to msrp over 40k without markup.
Previous SS went 2 per dealership and were auctioned at over 75K areound california

So the ss will be more of a collectors car. Which in turn will bring the value up.
Local dealer has a red one for sale. lots of lookers but no one has bought.
I personaly think the ss is the best looking american car out on the road.

Id say... I think your getting somewhere. Goverment owned car companies mean slow pos's

Oh, no I would never get V6 american muscles. V8 all the way. Well, unless it comes with twin turbos or a superchanger...

actually, the LS2 in my 07 C6 makes 430whp on pump with just Bolt-ons and a tune, and the LS3 makes even more, not just because the extra .2liters, but its using the new Z06 style heads and intake manifold which flow WAY better than the LS2 style heads/intake mani, and have way more potential for power. the same mods I have (medium cam, long tube headers, exhaust, CAI, ported TB, tune) are pushing close to 480-490 whp. just check the corvetteforum.com 'proven power' forum to see what the new LS3 can do. and yeah Brucie, you can hook up 500+whp with rwd if you know what your doing. Its in the turns where AWD really trumps RWD.
