Would anybody here consider one of these? (Not as a P car replacement)

Looks damn nice to me
Some scant details pertaining to the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro’s capabilities have emerged ahead of its launch. The new millennium muscle car from Chevy will feature a 6.0-litre V8 engine dispensing over 300kW/ 400 bhp. This will not be the only engine derivative of course, because Chevy is aiming to cast the net wide with Camaro, make it reach as many customers and admirers as possible. It is speculated that in addition to the 6-speed manual, a semi-automatic will also be fitted.
Therefore a 200kW/ 270bhp 3.6 will be on offer as an option for those either too chicken (or simply not skilled enough) to realize its full potential or can’t afford the benefits of the hemispherical (hemi) V8. Hemi will of course offer the current benefits of fuel saving by shutting down four cylinders during times when eight are least needed.
GM is intimating at annual sales of up to 100,000 units all over the world, including the convertible version. Markets will include North America, Europe, Asia, South Africa, Australia and the Middle East. Our recent spy pictures confirmed the production-readiness of Camaro when test cars were spotted several times without any form of disguise, cruising on public roads.

Unless specs have changed, what I read awhile back was that the only model available in 09 would be the base model, with the performance models to debut in 2010.
That having been said, I like the car, but I fear it will become a watered down, everbody's got one (of the cheap versions) car like the new mustang. The LS3 version (Z28?) should be quite the performer, if / when if it becomes available... I'll keep my eye out.
To answer your question specifically however, no. I only have space for 1 sports car, and this isn't it for me.

It looks very nice and would be a great throw back to the 60's muscle cars with modern day handling and refinement...remember I said not as a P-car replacement in the title of the thread.
