2007? Noooo. I would be close to understanding for a '11-'13 GT California Special.

There are already enough Mustangs on the road as it is...lets keep that one in the lot! Good choice.

That's all it has? I wouldn't trade my mostly stock SS for that either.

Another reason I am glad I did not trade. Granted it is faster and accelerates quicker than my V6, 7 more HP stock for stock is not worth it. Hell with the mods I have I know I am making more than 319.

Glad to hear that you came to your senses! Keep enjoying your Camaro.

lol no wonder they were trying to hurry so you would sign the papers before you came to your senses.

Yes, a certain amount of remorse is to be expected when one has lusted after a harlot, my son. Say 5 Hail Mary's, one for each generation of Camaro, then go to your faithful beauty and beg forgiveness for your sins and swear your commitment and fidelity to her....

Yes my fellow camaro friends, I need to be taken out back and receive 20 lashes for my sins. Today I was coming home and saw on the local lot a 2007 Mustang Shelby GT. I decided to go look at it and I took it for a test drive. It had a lot of power and I loved the Hurst short throw shiftier in in. The dealer is a auto nut and he let me really get on it and it felt wonderful. We got back to the dealership and we started the process. I was able to knock them down 5 grand from there asking price and they were going to give me a great trade in price on my camaro and let me remove all the aftermarket parts and put her back to stock. I wont post the final price but it was insane. The shelby was clean, I mean CLEAN! One owner, a older gentleman who traded it in for a truck. It only had 22000 miles on it and all records with it. I got the price I wanted and everything was going great. My sales person had to go talk to the loan person about something. So I was sitting in the booth alone and this is no joke. As I was sitting there I looked out at my camaro sitting there all clean and sexy looking. I started to think of all that I have done to her and all the great times we have had. I felt like I was about to betray her. I could not trade her in. Sales person walked back in with all the documents to sign and I told him I had a moment of clarity and just can't bring myself to do it. Shredded the paperwork and I walked out, got in my camaro and left. As I was leaving I punched her and broke the tires loose and got that grin on my face again. I knew I made the right decision. I had a moment of weakness. Maybe this was a test lol.

FORGIVE me my Camaro brethren for I have sinned and I have come to confess my sin

Perform 3 burnouts, 2 revs, and a 20+mi highway cruise to repent.
The Camaro Gods forgive you, for they are benevolent.

I think it's good to test drive cars you wonder about....it can help to put things in perspective sometimes. And sometimes, though I find rarely, you realize you bought the wrong one....I'm glad to hear this wasn't one of those times.

Short-story time: Later last fall, I found a used Corvette Grand Sport at a dealer....I had been seriously considering that car, new, just before I pounced on the pre-order for the ZL1, but I never went in for a test drive.

So I decided to go in and drive it...enjoyed the hell out of it...got in the Z to go home, and almost immediately upon turning the key and hearing that sound, I decided beyond a shadow of a doubt that I made the right choice to begin with. So I think I can relate a bit...minus the heinous sinning.

You ar forgiven my son.

Camaros are best in class for retained value right now...so the only reason the GT might be worth more in the future would be the higher initial price...but he'd have had to pay into that on the front end and loose a portion in further depreciation, so what would he be gaining? IMO, cars aren't investments and shouldn't be thought of that way.

PLuche · 02-20-2013, 09:58 PM

Did you really shred the paperwork?? Or did you just tell the salesman you didnt want to do it anymore?

Eitherway im sure the salesman was pissed

He must of thought he already had you in the bag.

buckeyemike · 02-20-2013, 10:15 PM

Forgive me sacrilege, but I don't see the problem with going after a Shelby GT500.

If it was an actually ***** pony, then you'd deserve all your lashings.
