I've got to vent...

I... HAVE... BEEN WAITING... FOR THIS... MOMENT... ... FOR SO LOOOOOONG!!



I can't believe, I mean, it's just too much... it looks so, so... SO RIGHT! Every since I was 5 years old and first rode in my uncle's burgundy '87 IROC Z I have dreamed of having my own brand new Camaro. When he got a black SS in 1999 I knew what color I wanted mine to be. I almost had a white/white Z/28 convertible but it slipped through my fingers an hour before I went to the dealer after scraping together my down payment. I bought my current crap ass Malibu from my family friend/dealer who promised he would find me a nice Camaro in the next 6 months and I could trade the Malibu in to him... a month later I was blind sided by a limo in the Malibu and went a year without a car while I still paid the note and saved up the 5 grand to fix it. But now, this is the car I see in my dreams and have rendered in my mind for hours everyday since seeing the concept in 2006. No B.S., I'm feeling very emotional right now... I've been through so much and this car to me will be a validation of all of my efforts... all of my blood, sweat, and tears... my suffering, my sacrifice will all be manifest when I sit in this car for the first time, close my eyes and inhale victory. What this car has on the competition is the ability to evoke raw. unbridled emotion in those who witness and I respect what it is... no other vehicle I can think of is capable of illiciting such a reaction.

Thank you Scott, Sheryl (sp), Ed, Ed, Doug, and everyone else involved in the Camaro project whose name I don't know or have forgotten.... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

All that's left for me to do to this car is add the accessory grill, black C6 Z06 wheels, flat black stripes and of course...

I'm pretty sure the Bugatti Veyron would create such a reaction.

The Veyron may have 1000hp but it is honestly butt ugly.

^
between one of these SEMA concept camaros and a Barfgati?

Camaro hands down. Easy choice.

Hell I'd take a stock SS over a Veyron.

^The correct answer was the million dollar car. You could have at least said you would sell the Veyron and make a profit off of it if you don't like it.

Is there anyone on this site who's love for the Camaro doesn't blind them from common sense facts like exotic cars are better and Mustangs are actual competition?

If I couldn't trade the bugati in for several Camaros, I'd only take the bugati to sell it, I'd take the camaro to keep it.
