Oh, man what a time to buy a new car. Deals are off the charts, inventory must be up! I will never sell Miss Red Eagle but owning three vehicles now makes no sense to add a forth to the stable but just found a Chevrolet Camaro V6, 310 HP manual transmission and all they want to sign off on the deal is $21,699! Uh, having wrecked our 95' Pontiac Firebird Formula with the big V8 5-speed, always looking for more ways to have fun!

Don't know if Carol will sign off on this one, chances are probably slim but hey, it's America and we can always dream, uh, it's the American way after all...it would be nice to have another screamer sitting next to the Eagle in the garage, in fact I have fantasized a name indeed...I have always loved the look of the Camaro and another Victory Red would be sweet!

If that's all they want for a camaro, and I could get out of my G6, it would be gone! Lol
Pretty sure that's impossible though. I still owe way too much on that car.

I saw a matte black camaro yesterday. Usually I'm not crazy about matte black, but this car looked good!

If I could afford car #4 right now, I would. But I wouldn't mind having an '82 Z28 and a 2012 camaro. Camaro would be my daily driver. No way I'm driving a kappa all winter.

It's not gonna happen. I'm still $2-3k upside down in the G6. I'm gonna try to drive it until it's paid off which is gonna be awhile.

There were no camaros made between the years 1970 and 2009

My wife had a 78, straight 6 , 3 speed.

I agree.

It's similar to that production gap of mustangs.
Sure, they may have stuck a tag that said camaro or mustang on some cars, but they were all poor fakes

Brazen17 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 10, 2012, 11:46:01 PM »

Can't decide on a Camaro ZL1 (great handling, very good power), Mustang GT500 (great power, good handling), or Challenger SRT (great looks, decent power/handling). Decisions, decisions...

Um, LS1 Camaro's are great cars and can be made really quick for not much money.

elff · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2012, 12:06:26 AM »

It will be a really quick car that I will never consider a camaro.

I would love a Camaro but it's got two seats too many.

Hey- grandpa, those seat might come in handy for the little man!!!!

Thanks for hating on my Z28. I still like it. It's a tank, but it always starts, it has never failed me, and I've had a lot of fun with that car!

Nice! Is this at your old house?

Wow that is a beauty, is that the backwards hood mod that allowed more air into the engine?

LatinVenom · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2012, 05:55:07 PM »

Mustang Boss 302 is also a very good handling car with very good power.

ihawk95 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 11, 2012, 06:43:29 PM »

Nope, but I'll take the hood off that one. Mine has a little knick in it from when a chick who shouldn't have ever gotten a license pulled out of a driveway into my it.

This one is mine at my Dad's:

I had a black '88 IROC with electric blue and hot pink pinstriping and T-top. It was a great looking car but it surely did lack in the horsepower dept. Since it was a chevy it would not have been very hard or expensive to fix that little short coming. Overall I liked it and it never gave me any problems.

The Boss 302 is certainly more balanced than the GT500 but not as capable as the ZL1. Looks aside, if I wanted handling I would have to go with the ZL1 and for brute power the GT500. The GT350 'stang is a very capable compromise between power and handling but I think it is way overpriced.

That's what I've found with this one. It's never had anything major go wrong with it. The 5.0 L 305 could have a little more kick, but it did ok back in the day. An IROC would have beaten up on it. I blew away one of my friends with a Berlinetta though! His dash started to flash because he couldn't keep up and he kinda freaked out! I was waiting for him in the parking lot next to my car by the time he got there!
