Guess my first figures were actually right.

Base Vette '06 $44,490
Base Vette '07 $44,995

Chevy, if they do it, will have to price an LS7 powered Camaro below that. It would have to be in the upper 30's so as to not screw w/ the Corvette sales.

you meen that the ls2 camaro not the ls7. the base vette hasthe ls2 im sure the ls7 camaro would be a little more than that just for the fact its the 427 but that price for the ls7 is not to exceed the z06 and probably wont be close to it but it will be more than a base model vette

The only way an LS7 powered Camaro would surpass that base vette price, is if a GM dealer built that LS7 Camaro and gave it special badging...ie., Berger, Dick Harrel, Yenko, etc. That's just my opinion. I don't think GM would do that....meaning I don't think they would price it over a base vette.

I think we need to wait and see what engines are available once the 5th Gen. arrives.

I agree 100% with 'Tag' that Chevrolet will never offer a model of the Camaro which will surpass the performance of the Corvette. The exception being, dealer offered "performance editions".

It sure is going to be fun seeing what engines are offered. The decision for me then becomes tough; Do I order one right away? Wait and see what the "top model" from Chevrolet is? Or, do I see what Berger, etc. offer?

A Camaro with an LS7 could rationally be priced more than a base Vette. The Z06 is 65k but the base with the LS2 is 45k. Expect the LS7 Camaro to compete with the GT500 in price. People that want a Z06 will not be deterred by the LS7 Camaro having a lower price tag. Owning the Vette has more of a nostalgic value and you get more with the Z06 package than just the LS7.

Come on GM enthusiasts, lets not forget about the Grand National and Firebird GTA both of witch killed the Vette of that time period …

yeah the camaro with ls7 will be more than a base vette. not only would it have to have a bigger engine but everything else needs to be modified like transmission, suspension, im sure wheels and tires wuld be different, and maybe some kind of appearence. so yeah it will be more than a base model vette but less than the z06 probably somewhere around the price of a conv. vette.

if they are smart they won't make it more then 38k. b/c stupid dealers will mark that up to over 45k. I know one in johnson city tennessee will. they mark even the basic cobalt up 1500$. also they sold a brand new Z06 for over 115k, and then wanted to sale a used one for 75k. I can't stand them. they need to be shot.

What's even more crazy than that is the moron who bought the Z06 @ 115K! If anyone needs to be shot, it's him for keeping that dealer in buisness!:slice:

that dealership is owned by the richest people in the area. they own like just about every other dealership in the area. I went to high school with the guys son. and the guy just got married and they aired it on tv like it was a big deal. whoopty dooooo. but yea people in my home town are stupid. I would drive to knoxville tn to buy a car as long as I didn't have to pay that stupid mark up.
