Camaros/Firebirds NEVER had $40k+ price tags. You could easily get a Z28 in the low 20's (or cheaper) brand new.
The reason it failed is because the car sucked. Around the time I got out of school I drove a new Firebird WS6, always loved the way the car looked (on the outside) and the sounds it made. The interior sucked, looks like a playskool interior kit (i.e. standard GM crap), bus sized steering wheel, terrible ergonomics and squeeks/rattles in a brand new car.... and the seating position was like driving a bathtub. Who wants that crap?
