QUESTION FOR 1st GEN CAMARO OWNERS - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

'69 RSSS Convert is my favorite car of all time, own one, had a 68, it was great but "69 is my favorite, not sure where the 2010 will fall in my favorites,but sure it will be high. Really glad the designers decided not to retro to the degree of muskrat or chally, hints of 60s and mean futuristic looks is what I like. Just wish mine will get out of area 51.

Had a 68, grey, black rally stripes, 3M, 327, black interior. Great car, ran a little hot, we bought it used and the previous ran it hard, why did we ever sell that car. Good traction, quick, not a head snapper.

Had a 68 Z/28 , 302 , green with white strips , 4 speed , favorite car I have ever owned . should've killed ex. , had to sell it to pay for a lawyer when she cheated on me and I beat the crap outta the dude . Looking forward to the thrill being back when my 10 gets here , can't wait !!!

Bought a 67 RS SS new in Dec 66. Loved the front end the RS mouth that gobbled up the competition. I still have the car. I spent 2 years with my son building his first car, a 67 RS SS with all the hop-up goodies. He still has it. That was 1990. Both cars are keepers. My 2010 also has a face. I believe it looks like it will eat you alive coming up fast from behind. I'm a Camaro nut and I love them both. My 67 is raw, rough and fun wild to drive. The 2010 is powerful, but refined. I am thrilled with the performance of the 2SS LS3. I vote for all of them.

At long last I have found another 1967 Camaro Original Owner who has kept his car nice and running all these years. 67's are fun and wild to drive. I know you will enjoy your 2010 when it arrives, too.

I will always love my 67 Camaro, it was a Plain Jane, Marina Blue.
Bought in 83, for $2450, with 65,500 miles on the odometer.

I drove the shit out of the car, 199,100+ now.

Yup, the 2010 is very similar, with more power, smoother ride, and things I will never have with my 67.

That my friends is how u enjoy these cars. Car covers in the garage and

dragging it to shows not for this guy either. I drive my cars.

i own a 67 camaro coupe marina blue silver stripes 468bb. turbo .as far as attention getting and the thrill of driving a real beast you just dont get the same feel when you drive the 2010 .its hard to explain, 2010 is a better engineered car. theres something special about the raw power of a big block in a first gen.squirrely as hell and a lot of fun.
