Will you pay over sticker to have a new 370Z?

Yup that's me! I really like the Camaro on paper, but I have serious doubts about GM's ability to even get the production line going. Then there will be 4-6 months of above MSRP due to the Camaro fanbois. I'm also interested in the new Mustang, but to a lesser degree than the Z or Camaro.

I drove an R/T and SRT8 Challenger last week and wasn't impressed. I love car shopping.

I agree, the camaro looks awesome on paper (and in pics), however, I have owned a 4th gen camaro, c5 and c6 vette, and an SSR (which I've nicknamed "the disaster") ... They have all been disappointing in quality and I'm finding it hard to give GM a 5th chance. Meanwhile, the 05 Z in my garage has had no major problems to date.

I checked out the challenger as well, felt like driving a boat ... no thanks. I also drove the mustang when the new body style came out, even cheaper interior than the General, plus it drove like a truck.

I also drove a 2LT 08 Vette, it was for sale at about $8k off of sticker, but I just can't handle the massive depreciation on those things. That and a $50k car should have heated seats standard! Not sure when the Mustang will be available, but I will also take a look at the Genesis coupe as well.

Any word from your local dealers on availability?

On the Z? Not much word. All the local dealers are miraculously stupid about the 370. In fact, one guy told me two weeks ago that it wouldn't be coming out for another year. All they want to talk to me about is me taking a 350 off their lot instead. Stealerships, I hate em.
I did however see two truck carriers with 370s heading down the freeway a week and a half ago.
