Camaro will be going bye-bye

So after my repurchase GM did on my Malibu (another one them dealer caused thousands in damage to my car stories) I was happy to get into a new camaro, 2012 2LS..after owning it for 2months and it being in the shop for 2 weeks so far for repairs like the Torque Converter being replaced,rear end clunk and a mysterious noise that appeared after the TC was replaced...So soon I will be cutting my ties and going to the dark side...don't know which Mustang or Challenger I will get but it won't be a new camaro that's for sure...ill still hang round, I kinda like this rowdy bunch!

there are some bad ones. Every problem can usually be fixed though.

with that said, I'd go with the mustang.

Good luck man... I say Mustang, but I'm biased. Challenger is cool though but can get pricey. In my ownership experience, so far I prefer the Camaro's quality more than Mustang's... even interior components but that's me. I also think the C5 forum is more active than other fori.

Challenger was a close second choice for me. And good gawd...it looks so much better than a mustang.
Happy to say my camaro had it's second anniversary with me last week and has never been in the shop. Sorry you got a bad one.

If you go with a Mustang at least get one with the 5.0.

I like the variety of bright colors Dodge offers on the Challenger. Its the best copy of the 70's classics. Freaking sweet. i would go for the medium blue metalic or the purple.
