How many cars did you test drive before you chose the Camaro

Drove 4 Mustangs - 3 2010 GT (One Hurst Edition) and one 5.0

Drove 6 Camaro - 2010 Cyber Grey M6 - Black M6 - Victory Red A6 - Red Jewel Tincoat A6 - Rally Yellow M6.

V6 Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang. 2010s. There was no comparison then.

None, actually.

Being in the market for a RWD V6 coupe, the Mustang wasn't even worth serious consideration (at the time, anyway - the new one is something else altogether). A friend had the '09 Challenger SE, and while it looks awesome the weight was too much to overcome on 250hp. I didn't even get to test drive the Camaro, they weren't available enough at the time for the dealerships near me to let me drive what they had.

Kind of a leap of faith coming from someone who'd never driven a RWD car before, or a coupe, or a car with over 100 hp, much less all of the above. But it worked out just fine.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the Turbo 4 and its 3.8L big brother. Both of which were Track versions. A base model 370Z, in that sexy Monterey Blue. Even considered another Supra, which I had before my late MR-S. When I first saw a SIM RS up close it looked so much like the concept that I thought to myself, "They're actually making it like that?" Had to have it. Pulled the trigger. Spent the rest of the money on mods

Nothing else. Made the deal on the internet, signed and drove away.

Challenger SRT-8 and GT500. Liked the Challenger's looks, but it felt as big as it looked. I was close to going with the GT500, but it didn't call out to me like the SS did.

Tested a left over Roush 429R 2009 and was going to get that instead since it handled on rails but it was sold before I made the decision. Went with the Camaro since the 2010 Roush were out of my price range.
