EricTheCamaroGuy is OK in my book. Handles criticism like a much more mature person than I was at 17.

Well, I did some shopping the past few days and I think I'm gonna wait for a used one. I had my check book in hand to buy a Hyper Blue 2SS on Saturday. We came down to about $2500 apart on my trade in (370Z). Went by Carmax to see what the cash buy amount would be from them and while waiting we looked at some Camaros they had on the lot just to pass the time. They had several 2015 models fully decked out for right at $30K. This tells me that unfortunately these new performance cars depreciate at a rate of about $1000 a month for the first year. Same with the Challenger as they had a VERY nice 2015 SRT Challenger with all the goodies for about $10K off MSRP with only 3,000 miles on the clock.

This time next year I'll have one and save 10 grand if all goes to plan.
