you do realize there was absolutely nothing wrong with the 04 GTO right? you also realize the reason they bumped it up 50 horses was because they were keeping it with the corvette , 04 vette ls1, 04 GTO ls1 then the vette for 05 and the release of the c6 came with the ls2 and so did the GTO. it had absolutely nothing to do with glitches or just bumping it up a few ponies its a total engine replacement because the vette if the vette had kept the ls1 so would the GTO.
also the camaro will most likely have the ls3 which is a basically new engine there wont be an upgrade for a few years after its released so you are safe to say the camaro will be the same the first 2-3 years its out and the ls engine is proven tried and true there will be no glitches in it. the only thing i would be worried about it markup

You're reading far to much into my post. I never said the LS1 was a glitch and I never said there was anything wrong with it. It was an upgrade. As was the hood scoops and dual exhaust and also bigger front brakes for '05 +.
In fact both the 04 and 05 GTO's have some minor glitches(as I call them). Such as non-illuminated steering wheel controls and super slow seat motors. Which were subsequently fixed in the '06 models.

"The new Camaro will be a rear-wheel-drive car with independent rear suspension. The car's styling work is being done in the United States, while the rear-drive platform is being engineered in Australia, Wagoner said. Buyers will have a choice of V-6 and V-8 engines, and manual and automatic transmissions."-GM CEO Rick Wagoner
Still doesn't indicate for sure where actual manufacturing will take place.

My 8 will be paid off in late 09, I've already started putting $250 a month into my Camaro fund 
I'll keep the 8 and plan on making it my dedicated track car. Power on the street and g's on the track

I know it's still early but I'm needing the time to figure it out. I love my 8 I have had it for 2 years now but I am in love with the new Camaro. My problem is my 8 won't be paid off yet at the time the Camaro comes out next year. What should I do. i just got married, Buying a new house and paying for the 8 right now. If it came down to it what should I do
Keep the 8 ( if funds allow ) or Trade it in on the Camaro

If you are buying a house I'd say wait a while. I'll have my 8 for at least 5-6 years becasue I'm buying a new house next year. The next car after that will be a Camaro, 135 or possible Kabura. Maybe a used 911 but unlikely.
