Is your Camaro "THE" car for you? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

cb4dude · 08-09-2012, 02:10 PM

This is my summer "Toy". I enjoy being able to drive it every day, and wouldn't trade up to the SS for that reason. It is fast, can light up the tires easily, and gets awesome fuel economy for long road trips. I wouldn't mind having a COPO for the track to wow, amaze and kick everyone's ass, but, unless there is a lotto win..... This is "IT" for me.

The Camaro is definately THE car for me. I settled for a silverado before this car and well it's just a truck, but the Camaro is the car for me. The only car I would trade it for is my friends dads Aston Martin DBS. That is a no brainer though. The Camaro is just purely awesome

i had to get the stripes added on mine, but since it was worked into the deal, it didn't cost me anything (standard rally stripes). even if they wouldn't do the stripes for free, i would have still gotten them. SIM almost needs stripes IMO.

got the wheels off a member on this forum about a year and a half ago, mine came with the 18' Bavarians that are stock on the 1LT, these are SS polished 20's. the dealer added the stripes unbeknown st to me the day I drove from WV two hours to Mckeesport PA to buy the car, so it was a freebie. wasn't enamored with them at first but they have grown on me, wouldn't imagine her with out them now

Well i do love my camaro and right now there is nothing out there that i can afford that i would get rid of it for but if someone were to give me a New 427 Vette convertable i might part with it. Also my It car is a Z28 since there is not Z28 yet this isnt the it car but its a nice stop gap but I do like the new Ats caddy now if that came in a coupe and Vseries at the same time as the Z28 id have a hard time deciding.

I love my 2012 LS3 SS!! I recently sold my boosted C5 Corvette and to be honest, I like the Camaro better. That being said, my true love would be an LS7 ZO6 Vette!

I love my Camaro and will drive it into the ground. Over a long time though, as I still haven't broken 10k miles in a year and a half!

KIZE · 08-13-2012, 10:55 AM

Every time I walk up to it, I admire its beauty.

Y E S

Absolutely the best car I have owned. But that isn't saying much, I've been a mini van, econo-car driver all my life. Now that the kids are grown up and I have a short commute, time for Dad.

It was worth the wait.

I don't see myself getting tired of the car for a long, long time, daily driver or not. I will always look for reasons to take a drive in the Camaro! I never cared too much for road trips before. That has changed.

Cheers!

We don't have ours yet, but we can't wait to get it! Had one as a rental, and we were sold!

Now, if we win the powerball, lol, I'd probably get a Audi R8 Spyder or Bugatti in addition to the Camaro!

SSaltlife · 08-13-2012, 07:26 PM

I do enjoy my SS. I named her Marilyn (as in Marilyn Monroe)

. It is a great reflection of my personality and a joy to drive. At the end of a long work day, I drop the top and smile all the way home!

I feel I'm the former, and I wouldn't consider for one second moving Joan. I however did just get her. And I'm sure I'm mostly just in the honeymoon phase with my car. But I also don't intend to deal the car, at any point.

So where do you stand with your Camaro? Is she the "it" car for you? Or are you just as easily to move on to another make and model tomorrow, if the oportunity comes up?

Anyone who names their car , are on a whole different level.

I'm 59 years young and this is my last Camaro - bought my first one at age 21 in 1975. The beauty of owning this one is when I crank up the 'Van Halen', slide the top back I'm 21 all over again!

mikeyroche · 08-13-2012, 08:55 PM

I love my Car, and I love Camaro's.... I don't intend to sell it unless I find a good deal on a 2010-2012 Jet Stream Blue ZR1 or Z06... The ZR1 in JSB is my dream car, Obviously this is a car I will have to buy used someday. But my Car is not just a Car to me. I drive it, and I drive it spirited, but I keep very good care of it
