Really thinking of the new camaro

[PPHSfan]

Didn't think I would want another American Made car, but the new Camaro is pretty sweet.

You didn't like the Challenger?

If I was gonna do it, I'd go with this:

Might be getting into an apples and oranges comparison with a cobra VS ?. The base model camaro will have a turbo V6 cranking out 300HP for less than the cost of the mustang GT. I think that camaro is pretty sweet as is the challenger. Still a mustang man at heart though.

This is still may favorite car. Wish that I had never sold it.:(

Sorry, I didn't get that one. But I'll bite. Why on earth would I put a fifth wheel hitch on top of a Camaro?

Nice!

I had a 69 Camero and 69 Firebird when I was in High School back in the mid 70s, wish I had not sold them.
I also had a 79 Berlinetta Camero, bought it in San Angelo back in 79!

Should not have sold that one either!:(

I'm thinking the SS will be my next car but I'll wait a couple of years to find it used and make sure there are no issues with a new model. I'm also a Mustang man at heart. My first two cars were a 67 and a 68. They really did a nice job with the new Mustang design but I prefer the Camaro since it's a bit more retro.
If money were no object, I would build a 66 fastback restomod with modern suspension, electronics, interior and a 6speed manual with overdrive. That would be off da hook.........http://WWW.1965-ford-mustang.com/1965-mustang-fastback-custom-1a.jpg

First car was a 1969 Olds 442 with a 455 cu.in. 4 barrel. Sold it when gas got to 70 cents a gallon cuz it only got 8 mpg. That car rocked.

Now I drive a Ford SUV and get 12 mpg at $2.00 per gallon - Would rather have the Olds back. It was a chick magnet lol

I wouldn't kick it out of bed but from what I've read, It would need quite a bit of suspension work to lower it and improve cornering and handling. Also, IMHO, they could have given it a more threatening (appealing) look.http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e103/jinxergt/victorywallpaper-1.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p310/JGReaper/custom5thgencamaro.jpg

I have just about convinced myself to get the SS with the fat back tires. Now I have to decide on the Hot Rod Red or the Hot Rod Yellow.

[catdaddy]

Decisions, decisions....be sure to keep me posted if you do get it. i would like to find something faster than my wife's car.:crying:

The SS might be close.

Same car. LOL

[catdaddy]

It's a good one. We've had no complaints except for the cost of new tires...:devil:

[Electus Unus]

Will the new Camaro overtake the Mustang as the high school girl car of preference?

[catdaddy]

Are you saying we would all prefer high school girls? I'm, uh, thinking that's too close to being someone's Suzi to mess with...:twitch:

[catdaddy]

Agreed, but the majority of female owners have the v-6 which I wouldn't want in either car.
