Sell, Keep??? What to do. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So my wife said I could get a 2015 C7 Z06 but I would have to sell my Camaro and Solstice both. :'(

I have LOTS of money in the camaro. Right now it has around 600 RWHP. Lots of small things too. Around $20,000 in aftermarket products. It's very low miles, 16,500. I may be able to get $35k for it. Huge hit on money.. but everyone knows you don't do aftermarket to make money.

The Solstice has the GMPP tune and I just got the blue stripe painted on last fall and got the front end fixed. (looks Killer)
Last fall car show, I parked beside my buddy that has a Red C7. Everyone walked right past the C7 and drolled over the Coupe. And this was before the stripe was painted on and the front fixed.

If I'm lucky I can get around 60k for both of the cars.. lucky... PROBABLY more like 50. So after i sell both my cars, i'll have to finance another 50k.

But damn I really want the Z06... want not need.. I know this...

I feel your pain, but I think I'd have to go for the Z06...before she changes her mind....

NO.

I regret trading in my Sol GXP with the GMPP tune, even though it was the right thing for me to do. Flipping little rocket. Mine had no reliability problems at all.

The Corvette is badass and usually I say "get the Vette" but in this case, you have Poncho's last hurrah, in it's rarest form, plus a badass Camaro....and there will be no more Solstice GXP Coupes. Ever.

i'd rather have the two cars than just one vet.

ssrs2lt · 01-17-2015, 01:37 PM

Vette is awesome, But it's cheaper to keep the two. They both are awesome

Sapper12b · 01-17-2015, 01:37 PM

I Say keep the cars , two is better than one. Plus like Chris said, no more Solitice GXP's are being made.

franknbeans · 01-17-2015, 03:09 PM

that was the way I was leaning.. but that Z06 is nice. .. I know I don't need a track car either.

I got this last fall.
Has a little Super Charger on it too.

Sapper12b · 01-17-2015, 03:11 PM

Sell the Camaro and the Miata to get the Corvette, keep the Soltice.

Zslash28 · 01-17-2015, 03:32 PM

You NEED the Z06...hehehe.

franknbeans · 01-17-2015, 03:33 PM

I think it is WANT the Z06.. no one NEEDS a car like that.

SpeedIsLife · 01-17-2015, 03:36 PM

Keep your cars.

1: Your Camaro is badass and unique.

2: The Solstice is a coupe HT, not many were made and are cool as hell.

GMTool · 01-17-2015, 03:59 PM

Got lots of money, get vette. Don't got lots of money keep what you got. Your Camaro is awesome looking and that Pontiac is the best looking solstice I have ever seen. Those vettes don't do much for me.
