Very patient... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

blackZbandit · 04-29-2010, 10:01 PM

First off, I want to say it does my heart good to see how this board has grown and how well the Camaro has been recieved by the general public. I've been a Camaro nut since my uncle first pulled up in his burgundy IROC-Z, but for varying reasons I've yet to own one. I've been hanging around here since the veeeeery early days, finally joined after maybe a year, was pretty active for a while but got distracted by life. I still lurk everyday, just don't comment very often.

Anyway, I was planning on buying a 2010 this year, but went through a not too fun divorce in 2009 and decided to go back to school next year for my MBA so... no dice on that. Plan B is wait for the 6th gen (Gen V v8 = drool), but in the meantime I'm going to get another car pretty soon. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I don't know how to drive a stick

(living in L.A. almost nobody does... traffic), but I'm determined to have one in my 6th gen. So, I've been looking for a cheap, preferably rwd, fun to drive manual to get used to until 2015 and have decided on a 4th gen. I kow plenty of you guys on here have or have had one so I'd love some feedback on what to look for, what I should be aware of, any other car suggestions and if it's even a good idea!

Thanks in advance!

I would look at a 2002 SS or Trans Am. My theory is to buy the latest model and hope most of the bugs were worked out. Good luck.

I've been driving sticks all my life, but loved the A6 camaro SS we rented.
