Was going for a G8 GT but...

Just thought I'd share.


I have a '11 RS V6. I was obsessed with getting an '09 G8 GT for the power and the much needed back seat room. That was the only option I can think of that had a corvette-like engine and uber back seat room. I found one with ridiculous low miles and I scheduled a trip out to trade my car in.

When I walked to get into my car to go trade it in, I looked at it.

hmm...

My 2011 Camaro with 312 hp, 20 mpg average, and cool styling.
vs.
A 2009 (two years older) with 355 hp, 15 mpg, and G6, bland styling.

Personally, I love the styling of the G8 but I get "Hey, can I borrow your car for the weekend" compliments from strangers all the time, including the mechanics .

Then I looked at my car a bit more. Then I got back inside the house and said "Let me just appreciate what I have". I would like to get more HP but I'd rather get hp in the 400 range. Yea I need back seat room but I'll wait until I can get what I want which is a '08 Corvette + a nice 2nd car.

So for those who are upset your Camaro V8 isn't as as fast as the ZL1 or if you have a V6 and want to upgrade, take a look out the window. That Camaro outside is yours. "Ain't she a beauty".
