I'd love to see something with the LS-6 or even the LS-2. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For what it's worth, AW has also reported slow sales to-date on the Pontiac GTO, here.

Last time I visited a GM/Pontiac dealership, they had one GTO in the showroom and it was marked up $3,000 above the sticker price. So it was $37K or thereabouts. Hmm. I wonder if it's still there?

There was a post on another board with a link to a newspaper article about a 5th gen Camaro that I can't find now.  The article was in a Toronto newspaper that said GM was in negotiation with the Canadian government for tax breaks in building 2 new factories.  They listed out the vehicles to be assembled at the new plants and the Camaro was on the list.  In a way I'm happy that it's coming back.  On the other hand the re-sale value of my 2002 will go straight into the dumper as soon as the 5th gen comes out.

Have you looked at the "values" on them so far? I am about 10K upside down in mine (as a trade in, 5K if I tried to sell it). I owe about 22k on it and "trade in" is 13k (it dropped from 17,900 to 13,900 in 3 months). Resale is about 18,500 or something (if that, and mine is fully loaded, except is it not an SS). I did take some negative equity with me, but when I was trying to get rid of my car, I couldn't give it away (or the dealers wanted me to). My car is a 2002.

Time to drive it as long as you like, then STRIP IT and build it into a KILLER race car!
