are going to keep your 5G Camaro after 2015? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As far as I know now, I will keep my 5th gen, and get a Stingray in about 4-5 years (little ones need to get a little older). Of course, things may change.

Manbearpig · 04-14-2014, 12:35 PM

As it stands yes. If the G6 blows me away I might consider a G6 SS. My heart is set on the Z06 though and my Camaro will always be a DD no matter the trim.

TOO.BAD · 04-14-2014, 12:47 PM

I'm 60 years old and keeping my 2013 ZL1 Convertible until one of us dies! It only comes out in nice weather and in my eyes it's the perfect Camaro.

sscamaro · 04-14-2014, 12:51 PM

I think I'll Just keep my 2010 SS for ever.

I had my 2002 SS from 2001 till 2009.

I had my 69 SS396 from 1971 till 2006(35 years), when I gave it to one on my son's.

Yep

SimpleGreen · 04-14-2014, 01:04 PM

Really just depends on my life situation and what the 6th Gen holds. As of the current moment I have no plans to dump my '13.

danvillekidd · 04-14-2014, 01:05 PM

2013 ZL1....nope it ain't going anywhere!....well, that is the plan. Of course plans can change....'15 Z06 maybe.......

SuperSport2011 · 04-14-2014, 01:06 PM

I'd rather use the money to get a supercharger then to "upgrade" to a 6th gen.

Swacer · 04-14-2014, 01:14 PM

I'm putting a cam in the car next year. So she's staying for the long haul.

Also, looking at a next gen Raptor when they come out (if they come out). So next mod happy vehicle will be a truck.

really? the vehicle is 4 model years old. how is that long in the tooth?

the second Camaros lasted 11 years. (1970 - 1981)

the third generation lasted 10 years (1982 - 1992)

the forth generation lasted 9 years (1993 - 2002)

by GMs math the 5h Gen should last at least 4 more years..

Corvette's history is just as bad:

1st gen 9 years
2nd gen 4 years
3rd gen 14 years
4th gen 12 years
5th gen 7 years
6th gen 8 years.

no real consistency in the length of time between the generations, but overall GM has a history of averaging about 9 years between generation changes

This. Oh, and it has to have a good medium blue.

Agreed, and I think people are jumping to conclusions a bit that the 6th gen is right around the corner, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being 2017 or 18. They just did a mid generation facelift, they're not going to replace that right away.

=Stephens= · 04-14-2014, 02:39 PM

I will keep mine, maybe get another one. I want to have a million miles on this camaro. I am at 66,000 now. Got some work to do to get there.

TxBandit911 · 04-14-2014, 04:14 PM

I'll be keeping my 1LE, when its paid off, the new Gen will be a couple years in so maybe the bugs will be worked out and some good upgrades offered like 1LE, ZL1,Z28. Then I'll buy a second Camaro and my '14 will be only for track duty or the new one will be to replace the wifes '95
