LOL. Its fun to dream. I need to call up my cousin and get the specs on his Roush. I guess its Avgas, not actual Jet Fuel (my aunts the one who said it was jet fuel), but it's still aircraft fuel. I dont really know anything about the stuff. How much more power do u think running off Avgas gives?

On the subject of power, these cars are very manageable. My GTO was my first RWD car and it was very streetable. The throttle was very predictable and easy to manage. I've always been a pretty cautious dude, but I can't speak for teenagers. We can all judge these kids for getting their camaros for doing school work and what not, but that's really up to their parents. My dad wouldn't have anything to do with me buying my GTO so I have no idea what that's like. But I think growing up the way I did, I wouldn't feel right letting him buy me a car. I think there's something to be said for teaching kids to earn their own way. And buying them a 30+k car when their barely legally able to drive it kind of spits in the face of that theory. But as long as parents are able to do it, it'll happen. That's all assuming these kids aren't full of crap. Making it seem like they have to work so hard to get their straight As and come up with money so their the "least worst" of the spoiled kids. I was on the Principal's honor roll for 4 years straight. AP classes and all kinds of academic achievement. I still never thought that was cause for my dad to buy me a 30k car considering going to school is for my benefit, not theirs. I can't understand the mindset that people get into thinking they're doing their parents a favor by going to school and doing well. On topic: Price: low to mid 30ks Model: SS (possibly RS package depending on how the two look side by side) Trans: 6 speed manual. Wouldn't have it any other way. Color: Tough one. Black is classic and would work fine for me. Maybe some white stripes would be nice. Orange was my first choice, but I'm not sure how I like the orange they offer. Have to see it in person first. Buying: Maybe the second model year or so. Extras(?): HUD would be fun. Not exactly necessary, but could be entertaining. Navigation would be nice. I'd like MP3 connectivity too. I know the suspension will already kick ass, but if they have a handling upgrade, I'm all over it. |

yea i agree with you bowtieguy about the school stuff. that's why i started saving about two months ago and will probably be saving for the next two years to get up some money to pay for this car. part of the reason i am taking the AP's is so i can get an academic scholarship and save some money and all on college so i can afford the payments. he he he i got it all mapped out :].. either that or just stick with soccer and get a soccer scholarship. always got a back up

Thirty years from now, you'll be one of those guys whose 5th-gen Camaro everyone is gawking at because somehow it is at 75,000+ miles and looks as if it's at 5,000 miles with original equipment and paint. |

Straight A's + AP courses + Honors classes = Scholarships. Scholarships = Money saved. Money saved = Camaro. And by the way, I think you need to spend some time in my AP courses. You can turn in assignments on time, but if that's all you do, you're still going to fail miserably. The only reason I got As and Bs throughout the year and a 5 on the AP test was by literally studying every single friggin' night.

At 20 (in 1993) I had a '91 Camaro V6 and was paying a little over $3000. Even less than that at 21 for a brand new 1995 Cavalier. |

Now what I bolded I take offense to, I am in no way shape or form spoiled. Hell Im probably on the lower end of the middle class. And for someone to call me spoiled, even your "least worst" of the spoiled kids just pisses the Fking shit out of me. I realize you point of view but you need to understand Im one of the kids that took a job moving crap around in the back of grocery, clothing department, stores and shit just so I wold ask my parents for money. I've earn all the things I have and for you to say that I'm SPOILED is the single handedly dumbest thing to say to me. And to nUcLeArEnVoY: owning a Maro is the only car I've truly wanted since I sat in My uncles 86 IROC. This car will never be sold never be neglected. This is the only car in the world that is worth anything more to me than what is costs. This car is the only way I feel like my uncle is still with me.
