The car has also had the final hood scoop fix and FORD TSB on the tranny synchros.

...

Sweet ride!! I didn't know there was a TSB on the SGT tranny synchros too ...I learn something new here every day.

I'm asking $27,500 OBO.
Saturday the owner of a GM dealership is looking at the car and is very interested but I know he's going to try his dealer tricks so we will see what happens.

Stump, are you getting something else? Maybe a KR? Craig

Yes, are you going to get another Shelby?

[SWEDEMAN]

No he won't be buying another Shelby just yet, he will be buying a Camaro SS with 426 N/A HP for $32K out the door, $2500 under MSRP! I hate to say it but that is a great deal for a 426 hp N/A car. I think it comes with a 6 speed as well. GM made this car affordable to the blue collar worker that wants huge N/A hp at a unreal price. Stump be sure to send us pictures.

Wow, that's a smokin' deal! I'm surprised the Camaro SS isn't going for at least MSRP (if not an ADM) ...I guess there's just not much demand? Strange.

Probably right, Paul, and it didn't qualify for cash4clunkers -lol. If it was truly an outstanding car it might sell anyway, but while it's performance is good, it's handling is mediocre.


Along that thought ...I noticed in a car mag comparo (C&D/RT?) that the mustang GT outhandled CamaroSS and Chally. Earlier in that issue, just for laughts they put the Lincoln that the camera crew was using (MKZ?) on the same skidpad and it pulled a .90! ...better than Challenger and Camaro SS! I thought that was insightfull.

When Edmunds tested the SHO it only pulled .80 (artificially limited by stability control that can't be turned off), since that was without the $995 Handling Package which gives two modes, I beleive, like the Lincoln.

[SWEDEMAN]

Your right about the Chally and Camaro not handling that well and the SGT or Mustang GT out handling it. BUT the car has 426 N/A HP @ $33K........aaaaaaaa....ya. Not to mention the dash is ugly and the cars sills ride real high etc...etc... but 426 N/A HP for $33K.................blue collar workers dream!

GT500-07......your word about the economy being very bad is right on. Also, if you have the coin you can really make good deals right now.

Congrats Barry! I just saw a brand new black Camaro SS today. It's very nice, especially the rear end styling and the hp.

[stump_breaker]

Ummm, Sweede is telling stories unfortunately.

I'm not looking to replace the SGT but to trim expenses.

The car is gone and there will be a GMC truck in the yard Monday. It will probably be back at the dealership in 31 or so days depending on what the misses decides....

Funny thing though, her next car in a few years will probably be a used, yellow Camaro. She is leaning that direction.

BTW, if you want to know what I got for it, let's just say I took it deep and hard with no lube and had to fight for that. In all actuality the dealership did a very good job and we missed my asking price by $500.

Thanks Dave. There are three Camaros at a dealership in town and they are pretty sweet looking. Two black with red trim and one solid white.
I thought these cars were impossible to find?

The wife might be looking at a new one but I think if I get another Camaro in a few years, I'm shooing for a classic. New cars just aren't doing it for me anymore.
