I hear ya, but it will probably be worth more than that in a few years. Not everyone has that kind of dough to lay out.

What I took most from that is man I wish GM would've gave the 5th gen t-tops

What I'd give to have t-tops

And signed by Burt, like he said, 'if you like it or not.'

No doubt. But for that kind of money, I don't know how you can go with a Camaro over a fully loaded Corvette. Don't get me wrong, loooooooove my 5th Gen, but I would trade it back in a heartbeat if it meant getting a current gen Corvette with at the very least the corresponding trim level as my Camaro for the same price point.

Only way I see this being a justifiable purchase is if I had enough money that a purchase like that is completely insignificant to my own bottom line, where it would be a collectible toy in a large collection of other toys, many of with are in the 7 figures.

Im with you on that.

That's where the lotto comes in. I'll take 2, one to drive and the other added to the collection.

Seems odd 5hat they would use the old car to build a new one. Must have gotten an awsome deal on left over models.

Baldman · 03-29-2016, 01:26 PM

Why didn't GM or the Camaro experts have something like this for the %0th Anniversary edition. I'm not saying to have what's on the car but to have a black Camaro with the striping and wheels that this car has.

Me too! If the 6th gens had T-tops I'd be getting a 6th gen... Miss those things!

Have to agree for the most part. Except I like those wheels if they were all polished and not gold.
