Do as many of us on here have done and order a car built to your specs (be that an LT1 or an SS). Many dealerships are charging MSRP for ordered cars. The only drawback is you have to wait for the car to be built. Remember, the LT1 is suppose to be a cheap V8. If you are not getting the thing cheap, why get it? If you are gonna pay SS money, get an SS. If you are paying more than that, don't get a new car right now.

Is $42,000 o.t.d. including dealer/doc fees, taxes, title, tag SS trim money? Figure $38-39k before fees.
I just thought the LT1 with the A10 trans, dual valve exhuast, tech w/Bose, black strut tower brace, RS and Redline package was decent.
I am not going to track the car ever.
My must haves are the Bose and technology, the dual mode exhuast. The A10 transmission and leather would be a plus for the wife. Katzkin leather is always a good aftermarket option. The packages on the LT1 give you the red belts, knee pads, ect. It's cool, not sure if it's worth the money, but it is nice. The only thing I don't like is how plasticy everything is. Might have to see if an upholstery shop could do anything nice.
I'm looking and I did find an new SS about an hour away in White, manual trans for $45,500 with a dealer mark-up of $2000 that they are absolutely firm on.
As far as ordering cars, the unknown wait time and horror stories I've heard of weeks turning to months, I don't think I can do it. If the market was different, it'd be a different story. The LT1 is mine if I want it, will arrive at dealership between the 16th and 18th.
Thanks.
