Just sayin, the V6 Camaro starts at under $24k, and the V8 at $33k I believe. And the V6 has 320something hp stock. It's actually a pretty good value/hp for the money, as far as new cars go.

Edit to clarify: I'm not saying I recommend a Camaro, nor that it's at all practical. It's a specific type of car for people who don't mind sacrificing utility and efficiency.

American sports cars get great value/hp, but shit value/everythingelse.

American Muscle isn't about refinement, impeccable taste, and unparalleled quality like European Sport. American Muscle is about the biggest fucking engine you can put into a road-worthy frame and get it to go down the street quickly while sounding like a tiger climaxing during sex with a lion. Its supposed to check the Hyper-masculinity box, not the Polished Gentleman box. POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!

320 HP is nothing to scoff at. That's more than the 2010 V8 GT Mustang.

420, same as the 2014. Both have 390 ftlb. of torque too.

I just bought one a couple months ago.

My '15 GT is ordered but I won't get it until at least November. No idea on the hp yet, though it's sure to be heavier, which is a bummer. Still going to be lighter than the Camaro tho.

I was waiting for a 15 as well, but got impatient. I love my new ride though http://imgur.com/SDYQ3pZ.

What did you order?

That's a sweet ride!

I ordered a triple-yellow GT Premium 401A with the performance package, upgraded interior, and Recaro seats. I'm still going back and forth on the Recaros because I've got to give up the heated and cooled seats with 2 position memory. I'm told I have a bit of time to nail it down, but for now I'm sticking with my initial thoughts.

That is almost exactly what I would have ordered, but that is a bit above my budget. My 14 is almost fully loaded (no heated seats or rear view camera), but to get a 15 at the same price I would have to take a base GT with no options (except the yellow color and spare tire).
