It's your $10,000. If you want to get a gen 5 and can find one then do it. All this talk about you shouldn't waste the money on a V-6 is just over-masculinized fodder. You clearly won't be able to find a car with a ton of muscle. But if a V-6 Camaro makes you happy at the end of the day, then do whatever. Those 3 that you posted look fine, except pay attention to what a couple of people have said about how one might have been wrecked, and that fees might bump you up from the price.

When I drive a pony car or sports car GT, I want to be able to see the hood and not feel like I'm driving a soccer mom minivan with a huge dead praying mantis at the base of the windshield. It's not that I don't like the 4th gen because they are so fast. Heck, my little 'ole V6 has more factory rated HP than they do. It's because they don't seem to be aging that well as the generations that came before or the smashing success that came after.

Anyway, why would you flare the rear side mirrors into the fenders like that? Talk about a major styling FUBAR especially when viewed at a 3/4 angle from the front. That's the ugliest styling feature I have ever seen on a car and they did it to one of my most favorite cars back in '93 when the 4th gen rolled out.

How did this turn into a 4th vs 5th gen argument...

Save your $10k for college. You have the rest of your life to get a "cool car" when you're done with school.

Because the OP only has 10K which honestly isn't enough to buy the year gen 5 he is looking for . OP really needs to save about 5 to 8000 and that would get him a V6 . The OP could pic up a Gen4 easy with the 10k he has . I'd get a WS6 Firebird before I'd pic up a Gen4 Camaro myself .
