If the 5th gen Camaro wasn't made what other muscle car (or car) would you choose? - Page 9 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-12-2010, 11:39 PM

I would probably have a Mustang in-sights, or maybe a used Vette...

....Thank God the Camaro exists!!!

If it wasn't for the Camaro, I'd still have my Impala. If I had to get another vehicle I'd probably get a Silverado. There's no way I'd ever own anything but a Chevy

IamJacksCamaro · 07-13-2010, 12:35 AM

Neither, or should I say none. I did not need another car, but I just had to have the Camaro!

i know you asked which muscle car, but I was looking at chargers and chrysler 300s because my gf and I take my grandma to alot of doctor appointments and a 4 door would've been nice, but I couldnt find one for a price I was comfortable and i didnt get that gotta have it feeling. I started looking for old camaros or other muscle cars to begin fixing up cause i've always wanted to do it and when i did my search on CL I found that the new ones were out and being sold already. I started asking around and found a place that was getting theirs in within a week. I didnt get to order one but I didnt have to wait months and months. I loved my car when i got it and i've made some changes to make it my own and love it even more today. But I did like the mustangs when they first came out but i was in school and didnt have money to get a car then, but got to drive a few when I was working for Hertz.

Ditto for me, but I probably would have bought a fresh resto. It would have been a '70-73, silver with black stripes and interior, 4spd and I would have been just one car away from having one of each generation. Then the 5th gen concept was annouced and I just had to have one!

CloudXTC · 07-14-2010, 09:07 AM

... i wouldnt have bought a muscle car

daphatgrant · 07-14-2010, 09:17 AM

I would have bought a practical car, lol, I would have bought a small $20K car. If I had to choose a different pony car then the Camaro it would be the Challenger, hands down. If it were any muscle car it would be a Chevelle, hands down

CamaroBelarus · 07-14-2010, 01:42 PM

I would go used Charger srt-8

thespymaster · 08-18-2010, 11:34 AM

Challenger SRT-8

GhOsT-RiDeR 47 · 08-18-2010, 11:40 AM

I voted Challenger but the problem with The Challenger is i can't get the trim options and exterior options i want without spending alot of money on their 4 or so available pkgs. Because of this, I'd probably get the Shelby GT500, but again for lack of money I'd havee to go with the next best option, the glass roof 'stang. CAMARO all the way! way better the the other for so many reasons!

kbui · 08-18-2010, 11:41 AM

Would have gotten my '85 Vette back out on the road.

2010SSRSM6 · 08-18-2010, 11:44 AM

I was debating on a Corvette (bad back so wasn't sure I should go down that road again), 370Z and a Porsche Carrerra S/Cayman S.

I don't know if I would have pulled the trigger quite as fast on any of them as I did the Camaro. I know the wife would rather have the swimming pool then any of the cars (Camaro included) that is still on hold due to the newest addition to the family.

She did just get a new Jeep Rubicon so she can't say it's entirely my fault that the pool isn't in yet right?
