To be honest, I like the previous model M5, before the current styling

Yes they can, I've seen videos of them, they're beasts, but at that price I'd prefer to just take a ZR1

Man, I thought I was alone on not really liking the way BMW's look...this thread is like my support group.
edit: on 2nd thought, I like the BMW 1200GS's. I'd take the SS and a 1200GS, then tell people I have a Camaro and a BMW and I'd still have change left over the AMG. There ya go- a perfectly reasonable solution. |

I like the Mercedes and all, but I'd pick the Camaro for the same reason I traded my BMW in for the Camaro. Sometimes the decisions aren't about specs, they aren't about status, they aren't about performance numbers....sometimes you just buy something because that is what you want. I understand where the OP is coming from...I'm sorry, but you can pull a C63 AMG and a Camaro SS into nearly any parking lot in American on any given day, and 100% of the time the camaro will get more attention. I never had anyone video or snap pictures of my BMW while I was driving down the road, I've already had that happen to me in the camaro more times than I can count. (Reason 1)
With CCW drag pack (MT DR) and tune the fastest on dragtimes ran 11.4 @ 121...the 121 trap shows you what kind of power the car is making....for reference my car with less than 10K of mods and NO drag radials trapped 123. (Reason 2) Its just me, but although I'm sure there are more amenities and more features..how much crap do you really need...all most of that stuff does anyway is to dilute driver involvement...and more technology to break. Also, I will say that IMHO I dont think the interior of my BMW was any nicer (or higher quality) than the Camaro....Plastic/rubber is plastic/rubber, leather (to me) is leather...Although the seat design was WAY more comfortable in the BMW. (Reason 3) To me, the price difference is greater than the quality/performance difference. Not to mention, the LSX platform allows much greater and less expensive modifications, and cheaper parts if you break something...So I agree with the OP, there is a tough decision to be made...I've already made mine.
