Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Camaro SS post mortem

[Dave Mills (dmills]

I wasn't necessarily saying to write off the Camaro idea. The pricing on
that one is just wrong. For $10K, you could get a Camaro built in this
millenium, though. The '96 should be about $5K, and the SLP upgrade about
$500 (IMO) not another $5K.
