Even more are wondering if buying a high powered automobile now is proper, for the sake of your bank account.

There is no doubt that now is the right time to buy American. And before we get off on the wrong foot with the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro, one should remember a base Camaro will only put you back $22,995 – not pocket change, but nothing near the price tag of some high performance German and Japanese vehicles. $22K will give the buyer a 3.6 liter V6 engine that produces 300 horsepower. This also isn’t the 1984 “I get 15 miles to the gallon” Camaro – 2009′s model ranges 27 mpg highway.

If you really want to blow your wallet load, a top of the line Camaro SS with manual transmission features a 6.2 liter LS3 V8 engine, producing 422 horse power. So, we ask you – can one car save an entire company from going under? It worked with Plymouth and their K back in the 80′s – but then again look where Plymouth is now.
