Only others I was considering was a 2011 F250 with the 6.7L Scorpion and a 2010 F150 Raptor with a 6.2L Boss

I wouldn't have gotten anything ~ well, I may have gotten my dream car, a 1969 RS/SS vert. But not really sure if I would have spent the money for it.

I was thinking of restoring a 280Z with t-tops, but decided to try the Camaro.

2009 Pontiac G8 GXP

None. I saw an aqua blue Camaro and decided I must have one, and only one in that color.

I wasn't car shopping, this RP6 car just kinda fell in my lap.

bishopchow · 03-16-2011, 04:23 PM

My first car was a Mustang GT, and I thought about getting another one or a jetta. I've had the mustang for nine years, and have had no problems with it. That being said I'm really happy with my new camaro. It's just the V6...but considering it outperforms my V8 GT mustang I have no regrets going more fuel efficient and economical.

I was looking at the 2011 Challenger R/T, 2011 Mustang Dub Edition and the 2011 Camaro LT or SS. We already have a 2008 Charger R/T but I sorta considered a new one. I did like the Challenger b/c it was so roomy inside but after weighing everything from horsepower, MPG, price, etc. I decided on the Camaro LT. NOT DISAPPOINTED! Absolutely love this car! Only had her a week and already making mods.

I was raised a Chevy girl so even the mustang was super nice, I just couldn't stomach the thought of driving a ford. My bro owns '69 Camaro so I've always been fond of them.

I was also interested in the upcoming '12 BMW 1M, but, when BMW came out with the base price at $47k - without any options - they made the decision easy for me.

This post made me grin. You sound like someone that's been bit by the N54 engine.

Yeah it had a few issues(HP Fuel Pump replaced The software fix for Turbolag created a noisy wastegate The "tinny" sound drove me nutz") and their customer service was the straw that broke the camel's back. Car leased on premise of buyout. They would not budge on price which was ridiculous. Walked out. Had a few months left and told them they could take the car send me a bill. Won't be buying or leasing another. Sorry to stray OT.

370z!

United_727 · 03-19-2011, 10:45 PM

Accord Coupe,GMC Terrain (just for a lil bit),CTS Coupe (I Wish),Mercedes E-Coupe (I wish,again)Maserati Gran Turismo (I swish some more). Truth be told,I did not like the Camaro when the new ones came out ( I had a 2000 Z28 I loved dearly),but something clicked when I went on vacation in Miami last month and I saw a lot of them and i fell in love. Went to our Chevy dealer and ordered one and the rest is history.

Enchurito · 03-19-2011, 11:54 PM

2007 or 08 Tiburon, RX-8, S2000, 350z, 370z, Saturn Sky, or Jetta TDI and that's about it in the realistic price range. I don't own a Camaro yet but everyone I know keeps telling me to stop saying I want one and just go get one.
