Definitely, although I'm not sure which one yet. the LS3 looks inviting with that 6.2L V8 and 422bhp, but the L99 is the more fuel efficient car (which is smarter, considering the state of fuel prices). I just need to know the msrp and final retail prices before I make a decision. If the V6 looks to be the better bargain then I'll get that instead. I mean, what's wrong with a 300hp V6 capable of a potential 30mpg (or at least within sight of it)? I'm sure it goes like a bat out of hell too. We'll see.

I would personally go with the 1LT model with the RS package, sunroof and premium audio.

The LS3 should get near that mileage too. I mean, LS1/2's are in the mid 20 mpg area so I don't see why the LS3 wouldn't be close to that. But the L99 is just an LS3 with cylinder deactivation so you cruise on 4 cylinders. I'd get the L99 personally.

GM has released pricing for the Camaros:

Camaro LS - $22,995
Camaro 1LT - $24,630
Camaro 2LT - $27,330
Camaro 1SS - $30,992
Camaro 2SS - $34,180

I was worried that the the first ever f-body individual rear suspension would inflate the price, but these prices seem fairly reasonable.

yeah, the pricing isn't too bad, but don't you wish they could've managed to knock 1SS to like $29,995? It just seems like an overall better philosophy.
