If your willing to drive, you can find a lot of perfect 69's. And a lot of $$!

I'd still want my 2RS....so the 2010.

I'll go off of what my dad has experienced. He had a 69 z28, i know its supposed to be an ss. he worshiped that car and never stopped talking about it..... until he had a taste of modern muscle...a c6 corvette, i know also not an ss. the point is that you get the looks and the feel of a muscle car with modern amenities and comfort. and for that reason i say 2010. Hell i might sell my nova for it.

If, I need an Adrenalin rush, I can always bring it out of the trailer and have a bit of fun down a quite road near by. The car runs med 11's. It's fast, it fun. It's an Adrenalin rush. Now, thats how I do it at present.

So, we want a 2010 do we. YES! YES! YES! And, why is this? Simple put. Want to drive it anywhere we want to without having to Retaining the Point ratings for shows. I will have all of the modern quilities and will be much more confortable to enjoy cruising. Yes it will be a 6speed Auto. Yes it will be driving as a weekend cruizer, or any other time I'd like to drive it somewhere. I'm sure at first every day!!!! I do expect my fuel bill to go up. Now, after some of the new wears off I'm sure it will be driven less and more as a weekend drive. Don't get me wrong, I love me '67 and have no intentions of replacing it with the 2010, just sharing...............

Damn I've been to Bartow a few times and I wasn't aware that anyone there could afford a car, much less a 67'

Owned the car since the 11th grade.

It's called a JOB! It helps with things like this. Plus, it helps with a little thing called FOOD. Now, I might have to do with out a tank of AVfuel in order to but the grits on the table, but, I've got to have the Camaros!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some weeks we eat less chicken and more collard greens. But, don't forget, we know how to grow the vegies!!!!

Glad to see you have a sense of humor...so few do. Yeah Bartow and Plant City both know how to grow things.

I've always wanted a '69 RS and if I could only have either a '10 Camaro or a '69 Camaro, its the '69 all the way, it's not even close.

95 lb difference, I will take the comfort, technology and handling of the 2010.

69z weighs no more than 3400 pounds max

Now you got me wanting to weigh mine, because I thought they were closer to 3200 lbs.

I have to slightly go back on my position earlier in that if we're talking an everyday driver, I'd prefer the 2010. If we're talking about a weekend cruiser, it's the 1969 all the way.

I'm thinking that both would be great

My Registration for my 69 SS has 3070 for the weight.

Bought a 69 Z28 new and sold it a couple years later to enter the Air Force. In 2004 found almost identical Z28 that was pretty much stock with 60k original miles. I couldn't believe how bad it handled, cornered, braked and performed. I'm sure the new Camaro will be a pleasure to drive compared to the older Camaro. But your right about the old ones will hold or gain in value, were the 2010 will drop money the day you drive away from dealership.

SSmoked · 02-20-2009, 05:51 PM

ill take a 69 SS with a 396. o wait i alredy got one lmao. ill just have to settle for the 2010 camaro SS. some decisions u gott live with hhehe

GrnMchin · 02-20-2009, 06:15 PM

69 hand down no 2010 will never out pace the resale of a classic not to mention every year the 69 becomes more valuable and could buy a 2010 at a later time. I can't tell you how many time I passed on a few good deals that had I had room i would buy it, hold it for a few years and fixed some minor issues turned into big $. A 56 Chev Sedan delivery for $3000 always haunts me.
