60k to spend on new camaro. What do i get? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Malpractice payout? $60K sounds like just enough to entice you and your lawyer drop a frivolous lawsuit. Thanks for helping drive up everyones insurance rates and giving the democrat socialist party reason to nationalize our healthcare! Hurray!

If I'm wrong about this, I apologize, but on the surface this smells like a rotten fish.

Damm, I hate people with money.

Please don't be Stupid. To spend the extra money on one of the performance enhanced cars is a waste of money of a few tenths of a second better. Look, when it is all said and done the Camaro is WAY WAY WAY too heavy.

Why do you hate people with money? It isnt someones fault if they have the money to spend. I think any special edition camaro is far cooler than a vette and why would it bother YOU? If thats what this guy wants to do then go for it. I did..and i couldnt be happier with the attention my ZL-575 gets at the shows. I personally dont care how much faster it is than a "regular" camaro they both are equally as cool. To each his own. Dont be such a hater.

Exactly, there are too many people like that who want the government to confiscate people's money via "progressive" taxation for no reason other than envy. This is America, get off your duff and go make your fortune rather than denigrating those that have.

Rays ZL575,

I hate people with money because they spend it without thinking. Let me rephrase, People whom are given their great amout of money, and do not work for it, usually are less than smart when spending it. these are some of the same kind of people that are broke in a few years and can not figure out why.

There are too many examples to give. Lets just say I have seen it alot in my life.

My stance is, if you are going to buy a car, what is the reason for the car? If it is for track days and racing, there are much better choices out there for 60k than the "enhanced" camaro's.

If you are going to drive it around and see the country, then the Camaro is probably not the best one out there either.

A base model upper end car would be better in just about all situations that a sports car type person would be looking for.

It sounds like, to me, that you care more about people looking at your car than you liking your car. If that is the case then buy something like a lotus that people will never see on the roads.

Just My 2 cents. He asked for input and I gave it.

I own the camaro. I love the body style on it. But if I had 60k to buy a car, the camaro would not even make the list.

You don't. You buy a Corvette!

Still, baranowski, if it's not your money, why would you give two flying fracks? I'm confused on this. People have a right to be stupid with their money, whether you like it or not.

Besides, the OP's original dilemma was which Camaro to spend it on, not what you would do with the money. Sounds to me like he wants a 5th gen Camaro, just not sure which type.

MyIBMssRS · 07-01-2010, 12:49 AM

I'd wait to see what the Z28 is going to have. Then wait to see what Hennessey, Lingenfelter and the rest do to make it even better.

If I would have waited I would go with the ZL575 or if not I would just buy a Corvette Grand Sport for 60k and it also has a LS3 engine.
