Which gets you all excited, seeing the classic camaro, flaws and all, or the new eye candy - the stuff you haven't seen yet, haven't driven, just seen the spy photos or first pics?

BOTH!!!

A buddy of mine has an all original 1969 Yenko Camaro, and when he has it parked outside his place of business, my heart feels like it's leaping out of my chest!!!

And the Concept!!!....

I CANNOT get enough of that BEAUTIFUL piece of automotive art.

I could look at the Concept 24/7 and never tire it.

I like to look as sweet american muscle. Old or new, I don't really care. Its a bit more special seeing a classic but not by much

New cars/concepts.

Old cars have never done much anything for me.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 09-09-2007, 10:54 PM

I love looking at old cars - partly because I know they'll never be like that again. Mostly because I honestly think they're beautiful vehicles, through and through. They're raw - untamed. Newer cars are 'raw' in a different purposeful way - the old guys weren't. They had no choice but to be intimidating.

They both hold the same attraction for me, but concepts/new cars hold a little more...spunk, for me.

The Camaro- and this is NOT a biased opinion - is the single most beautiful car I have ever seen to date. Second is the Dodge Charger.

damn, I just love seein camaros, just from taking a concentrated liking to them in the past months, I have noticed them multiple times, just saw a 2nd gen in very good condition today, yesterday I saw a 4th gen in silver at the dealership, and a 1st gen in baby blue with dark blue stripes on the road, and have seen many of the more modern camaros not including those listed, just love that muscle, dayumm

Tough question. Love both. I chased down a 67 SS the other day...I took pix w/ my cell phone and will have them up tomorrow maybe.

I love 1st Gens...heck I love all old cars. But, I can't walk away from the 5th Gen. It's nothing in pictures like it is in person. There's others here that will testify to that.

Awe heck...I love'em all. 70 Chevelle SS, Mopar, Olds 442, 1st Gen's, etc, etc, etc....and all these new cars??? Yeah...I do like the Mustang and Challenger as well... What can I say? I'm into just about all cars!!!

The new cars are making me excited. The news of an IRS and DIG ethanol Gen V motor is enough to make me not want a classic car anymore.

I love looking at old cars, especially from the 50's and 60's. But I have a hard time trusting any car that's more than a few years old, in terms of reliability.

Solution? Get a Gen I Camaro as a show car and drive the Gen V everywhere.

Maybe one of these days... There was a '69 Camaro in the classifieds a couple of days ago for 39k.

old muscle FTMFW. before school i just take a look in my garage to see 2 camaros that i wish i could drive lmao.

MerF · 09-10-2007, 05:48 PM

Impossible question! I guess if I had to choose, I'd say classic musclecars...but it's a CLOSE toss-up and you could probably catch me leaning one way or the other on different days of the week.
