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.

The Challenger and Civic SI were two "performance" cars listing high resale.
My 2009 Challenger V6 sold for just over 20K, I sold it after 7 years for 14 K, that is less than $1000 a year. My 2015 Civic SI just over 21K out the door last year, I sold it for 20K. Say $1000 a year.
KBB says the 2016 camaro will have the best retail:

My 2016 SS is 35.3K out the door, I figure in 5 years I'd get 25K. 2K a year. Sure if you going for every option the depreciation is going to be higher. Nav and sunroof and glowing bow ties don't add to resale.
