This is the same for me too. The 2010 Camaro SS has a great look and a pretty big trunk. I probably would have just kept my new Toyota Camry. While I liked the Mustangs and Challengers I never would have bought one, they just don't have the LOOKs!!

It would have been corvette for sure.

In 2008 that was the reality of the day. Just saying . . .

I would have finished restoring my '69 Z/28, that I had for 17 years!

Then I would have bought Ragnars 69 z/28. So 1969 z/28.

Mustang or a Challenger. It would be a tough decision.

Smkn600CTD · 07-06-2015, 11:01 AM

Challenger SRT or Ram MegaCab Diesel

Like others here which is pretty wild how most were looking at same vehicles. Like I mentioned I would of gone Boss 302, but the 370Z Nismo and BMW 135 were real close. I too check out the subaru BRZ (Scion FRS), I am 6'-6" and at the time I was 275lb, My fit was pretty good. For the money being sub $24k it was fairly reasonable, I knew first mod was going to be the innovate blower. But the BRZ wasn't on market long enough for any long term testing. Motortrend had one and I kept following them. I started to noticed they mentioned various noises from interior. Then lightbulb went off toyota made this car inexpensive just like the corrola, anyone with a 5-6 year old corrolla knows the plastic discolors, interior bits squeek, any where you commonly touch shows scratch marks. So a BRZ/FRS is going to end up with the same fate, that is definitly not going to look good after 10-15 years. The nismo was real close, but I knew a turbo would be required. The 1LE just fit the bill with OEM mods and power.

These cars are not cheap to restore. In that picture, I had over $32,000 in the car! But, it was fun to drive with the 4:10's and a M-21 Muncie!
