Got rid of the Camaro..new project ideas??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SliverSurfer · 09-20-2016, 05:14 PM

Well the day has come and practicality has become a necessity...I sold the Camaro and picked up a 4x4 truck. Here is the only problem...I've still got the urge for some form of Chevy/Pontiac/GM two door toy to mess with.

I've thought about trying to pick up an off year V8 Chevy, IROC Z, Camaro, Firebird/TA with a manual transmission...I'm open to suggestions. Would like something that's supported well in the after market parts community.

Any ideas suggestions?

SS sedan period! Or, if you can envision it, wait, wait, yeah find a 2011-2012 Caprice. Oh yeah, it is a wide open slate.

G35 coupe with LS swap.

I needed a 4x4 vehicle for the winter. Don't want anything brand new to mess with. Nothing too expensive but something good that would be supported pretty readily through the aftermarket/OEM.

LOL! I bought my first house in March and have been setting get up my garage and have been itching to get a car to tool around with...this car thing...I swear...it's a disease!

I've seen 04 GTOs on Craigslist for $10k or so, maybe that's an option?

Funny you should say that. I had an 04 goat a while back...thought about that one. Whats the Ftermarket like for those though? I didn't mod mine, but as I recall they didn't have much as for aftermarket support...anyone know from experience?

You 3 need to get a room.

Machinehead · 09-29-2016, 03:45 PM

any 2 door gm in that price range is not going to be a really good option. Look into used g35 s2000 rx8 miata wrx

yeah its way underpowered but one hell of a chasis... would have to boost it after driving a Camaro though

That and the subeies are the most ticketed cars in America . The goat is the way to go imo.
