Camaro is coming back to America

http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f...chigan-115201/

In case you didn't know, the next generation Camaro will be built on the same platform as the current ATS and upcoming CTS. This means that the 6th gen Camaro will be much lighter, nimbler, while having quite the parts bin to pick from. Alpha, Alpha + and Alpha "lite" will all be equipped to handle turbo 4, twin-turbo V6, and all variations of the Gen V V8 as well as the upcoming 8-speed auto and most likely the 7 speed manual trans.

That's why it's coming back to Michigan. It's actually going to move to Flat Rock now that the Mazda 6 will be made in Japan.

No, no you can't.

MSRP for a base Mustang GT is $30,300
Camaro SS is $33,535 and comes with more standard equipment.

I guess they raised the price of the stang then. That's not that bad of a difference, but I still think it's a little high for a 1ss.

Actually, the 30,300 is without destination. I just went to build a Mustang GT to fit the same spec as an 1SS, and it comes in at 33,590, $55 dollars more than a base 1SS.

You were saying.

You win man. People don't want to put the options they want into a car, they want to pay over 3k more for a trim level with stuff they don't want or will never use.
