Then if we compare scat pack challenger, some people also claim it's 40K flat. Again this is not true, it's impossible to find at that price. It is well north of 40. So why are people complaining about price point of the new SS?
When it offers better performance, performance quality, balance , handling, suspension than all other muscle cars. I don't care about unbalanced cars such as the Challenger hellcat that have high up engines in them as selling point. Kind of like the previous GT500, an unbalanced car. The Camaro on other hand utilizes the power properly , and doesn't just shove 700hp into a hottub to make sales.
Let's list advantages of the new camaro against competition and then discuss if price is justifiable in your opinion.

What you have to remember is that your difficulty in locating a 37k GT or a 40k SP will be that same when trying to find a low/no option 1SS. Dealers rarely stock cars like them.
There Will be those that find them and let everyone know. But if we're going to be honest, they'll be in the minority. Anyone that really wants one in that spec will have to either search quite a bit or just place an order.
So yes, on dealer lots, most GT's and SP's are price much higher than the base msrp. But to think this won't happen on Chevy lots is unrealistic. Then we're at a point when we're comparing 42-44k GT's and SP's well north of 40k, to loaded 2SS Camaros.
