Did you buy your Camaro for looks, or to go fast? - Page 12 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Don't understand why "both" isn't an option but anyway I bought it for both or heritage if that is another option.

I definitely like the looks of car, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it but I will be customizing the appearance to a degree. I wouldn't have bought this car if it looked like a turd

. That's something about cars for me, it can be the fastest, baddest car in the world but if it looks like a turd I'm not wasting my money.

The performance though is equally as important because I will be building the engine, suspension, etc. Having that V8 there was really a draw for me.

The whole reason I bought the car was because it was the whole package: fantastic appearance, V8 performance and heck it's a Camaro! All that heritage has got to factor in to the decision too.

Your right,

I would not have bought a Camaro either if it looked turdish. And I would not have bought it if a V8 was not offered. And the heritage was also a factor.

I just ordered my 2013 Camaro 2ss special edition from the factory because it looks and sounds mean. I kept my cobalt ss turbo because it is fast.

Mainly looks - I don't care about too much speed. I LOVE cruising at a nice mdium pace with the top down & stereo CRANKED....One of my favorite songs ise "Life's been Good" by Joe Walsh. Then, If I'm doing 70 or so, "Kickstart my heart" by Motley Crue is an awesome speed tune...

because i had to!

dkg11 · 11-06-2012, 08:22 PM

i bought the car becuase of its looks... i love the car for its performance

DERZ · 11-06-2012, 08:24 PM

Both. I test drove both the Camaro and the Mustang on the same day before I made my choice. I like both the looks and performance of the Camaro better.

sschevybear11 · 11-06-2012, 08:55 PM

Both really. Many dozens of camaros thru the years and this is our first new one. Had 67, 68's, 69's, 77, 79's, 80, 81, 84, 86, 92, 97, 98, 00.

performance. And looks is just a plus

tdp1 · 11-07-2012, 11:57 AM

Yes

rocknRllr · 11-07-2012, 03:33 PM

First of all i Bought it because it was a Chevy, secondly it was a Camaro . People will turn their heads once for a quick look at a Mustang. But, will turn around to get a better look at a Camaro.

Switchin2Chevy · 11-07-2012, 05:22 PM

Looks. But going fast doesn't hurt either.!

The v-6 isn't a bad settlement. Kinda like settling for platinum when I could have had plutonium.
