Performance mods actually devalue a car because people that do performance mods generally beat on their car more than someone that just drives it. Personally I wouldn't buy a Camaro that had any mods done to it with the exception of an air intake and maybe an exhaust. My car is pretty much stock and it will stay near stock, if I felt I needed a faster car I would have bought a ZL1....well I still may do that in a couple years.

Keeping mine. I like the still cool styling, handling on/off the track, and the simplicity of the LS3.

Bought my Z/28 to keep. Came close to selling it a few months back.

If I had a Z/28 it would be a keeper too. Pretty rare car to see. Honestly I've never seen one on the road. Do people daily drive them or just track?

Thanks,
Kevin

A low mileage original paint v8 muscle car in the perfect colour. Yes I know they make them everyday.....to those that know what I mean .....

to those that don't. ....well its not worth explaining.

All purchased brand new:
1979 Buick Regal Sport Coupe.
1990 Beretta GT
2004 Nissan Sentra Spec-V
2011 Camaro SS

Buick went to the big boneyard in the sky, Beretta to our daughter.
The Sentra was the only car I ever traded. I had no intention of keeping it when I bought it.

I do a few small mods when they are new then drive the beans out of them.

I'll keep my Camaro for a few more years. By the time, my son will be big enough to sit in the front, I am getting a Vette.

I bought mine to keep. I'll NEVER get out of it what I have in it and I don't care. It's one of those things I hope to take my future potential kids for a ride in and hopefully pass on to them if they want it.

To me my Camaro is the first newish vehicle that i have owned. I plan to hold onto it for a long time.

CHMSC · 09-15-2016, 02:16 PM

Had mine almost 5 years with no intentions of selling her.

rjinotti · 09-15-2016, 02:26 PM

Bought mine to keep but my brother said I get first dibs at his z51 3lt when he decides to Let It Go. The only car I would let my Camaro go for always wanted to own a vet

You see the same pattern with Harley's

$22K for a new bike.
$6K worth of upgrades.
The bike comes up for sale less than 2 years later for $14K-$16K smh
