stovt001 after reading this entire thread I understand what your saying. The use of more tact was needed, less declarations, more questions. Or the topic being more as you being worried about the future of our beloved RWD sports coupes, and what GM has available for those who love those cars but cant afford a Vette...but I understand your point. With the way the middle class americans are being crushed, the average person is blue collar, working class or whatever you want to call it. Everything seems to be getting more expensive and it feels like we all arent making enough money. if the new camaro V8 is around 30,000 and dealers dont have crazy markups its a great price. But at the same time I made 31K last year, so realistically I cant afford it. hell the Vette is my all time fav car, and its the best bargan for a supercar on the planet, but theres no way in hell Ill be able to get one. With the milage that was on my 01 V6 camaro I knew she didnt have much life left in her. Thats why I had to trade her in, I got a 2000 Z28 and Im paying roughly the same amount. I had to come to the realization that with me getting medically seperated from the military me getting the 5th Gen was slim to nil. though the wife didnt like it there was no way in hell I was getting anything FWD. theres really nothing thats worth getting in the midsize sports coupe that I could afford besides a used mustang or camaro. And if I wanted a V8 it was now or never. But with that being said the Imports are too expensive too. Unless you buy the base model with like a 1.1L four banger. I Love cars, and I want a car that performs. If a cant enjoy what Im driving Id rather catch the bus NO JOKE.
