Certainly triple the shop size too.

Maybe I should just keep the Camaro since all that sounds exhausting.

this is too f*cking funny! 👍🏾

I have owned my 2010 for 13 years and I still enjoy it.

Hate to say it, but the want to stay in the car game is slipping more and more each week still. I drove the crap out of my car the last few weeks and while it was somewhat fun, it was somewhat stressful as well. I only travel 20 miles to work round trip and I've put 250+ miles on it in a week trying to bed in the new clutch. I absolutely love muscle cars but I love the "raw sports car" feel a bit more. The fizzle I used to get just seems to have died out lately. I don't know if it's just boredom, the feeling this car gives me of being big and heavy, or that my wife is driving my wore out 97 sonoma to work(4 min drive) while I'm driving the Camaro and her versa.

I currently I have a buyer willing to handover 15k cash for my SS...

118k miles
Has paint bubbles on the rear quarters that need fixed
Needs some engine parts
Needs shocks/struts

This might be it for me, I thought I had talked myself out of selling. Not sure if I'll be done for a while or wait and save up for a C5 or something else that gives me"the fizz" again.

11 years daily driving and my SS still gives me the fizz. Hope you get a C5 if you get rid of the Camaro

Im not sure at this point honestly. I know if it goes I will be scooping up a decent SUV for my wife and give myself 6-9 months to test drive anything and everything before making a decision.

Every damn day. Cheaper to keep her. Nothing else out there that I want. I have a C6Z, the Camaro... Yeah I could get something newer, but the amount of money I've spent and will lose by getting rid of it is going to make me sick.

Aqua Blue RS/SS's post here probably says it best.

I no longer have my Camaro. I got a new to me 2017 C7 Corvette.

I'd love to have a c7 or C6 ZR1 but both are so far out of my budget right now ��

Definitely a life goal though.

I posed on Facebook and am looking at local dealerships to see who has a C5 or C6 I can test drive(not buying from dealership though). Those are more than likely the only two cars I would pick up if my Camaro goes. Worst case is if I go drive them and hate it, I'll know to keep my car.

I was thinking about this maybe few weeks back, realistically there is only one car that I would consider trading a Camaro for, like many others I have a dream list but I don't think anything can fill the hole Camaro is currently filling, like I would give my left nut just to drive a quattro sport s1 or get an LS powered GT40 MkII kit car but I would never be able to take it on a drive across the state or just drive down to the store casually.

RupertPupkin · 07-20-2023, 01:40 PM

If there was a 1968/69 Camaro ss or z28 that's built and with upgraded interior, I'll sell in a heart beat.

Just curious, will your Camaro outrun the C6 ZO6?

My Z is around 570/580 whp, depending on dyno. It's also a good 500# difference in weight. It might be dead even.

Gstick · 07-22-2023, 08:01 PM

I'm getting the itch to buy a C6 ZO6 or a ZR1. I really enjoy my 1LE (even tho' its never been tracked) but I never owned a Corvette & thinkin' pretty hard about selling the Camaro.
