New Camaro vs Imports vs Mustangs

[darthknight72]

Personally I cant see driving a import when you can have a Camaro,Mustang or Challenger at least in the near future.But hey everyone has there own personal tastes and who am I to tell what someone should like.

[acscamarochick06]

I have always loved Camaros and always will. Just like I have always despised Rustangs (hehe) and always will. But a Supra is a pretty kickass car!

I love imports. I have a modified Civic Si. But no matter what I do, getting the power I want out of this car is going to take an act of God or the state Lottery. I love my car like there is no tomorrow and I know it's going to be hard to trade it, but I've wanted a Camaro since I was in high school. I've passed up owning one on countless occasions due to insurance when I was younger. Now I'm in the 30's, married and I need more power. I think I'd be better off buying a car that is drop dead sexy out of the box and has the kind of power that I need. I'll always love imports, but I'm really going to love hearing my engine over their grapefruit shooter exhaust

I love the new Camaro. It's exactly what I need. I could never imagine owning a Mustang. I may love imports, but when it comes to domestics, GM owns me.

You're smart. I have the Greddy EVO2 on mine. I can launch grapefruits out of the thing as a last resort weapon. Great sound. Minimal gains. Awful tailpipe. It's embarrassing.

As a true car enthusiast, I like them all in a different ways...
I do however hate when people criminilize (if you consider that a word?) their cars by adding $#it that doesn't fit or belong to it. Take it as an "Environmentally and Aesthetically unbias".
I had a Trans Am WS6, Z28, Civic, Metro, Solstice, etc and since then, IMHO the GTO and the Mustang GT didn't feel quite strong enough in terms of competition from the Euro and Japanese rivals so, then I decided to try the imports like the STi. It is a different performance machine but there is nothing better than the grunt or instant acceleration of a V8

Now, my garage awaits the muscle car Camaro to warm up my STi as a track car. Couldn't be better for me, 2 cars for 2 different purposes in my place.

You're my newest best bud. Lol. I would love to keep my SI and be able to get the Camaro but it's just financially better for me to have just one. I made my choice and while it hurts a little, I know it's the right one. It was after spending almost $10k in the last year on my Si that I realized what I did. I spent all that $ and now have a great looking car that is quick but not fast. I could spend that much or a little bit more over my SI's MSRP and have double the horse power in a stunning car. I'm gonna miss my SI but they say when you meet the "one" you'll know. Well, I do.

I hate most of the import cars. Except the WRX and the EVO. Those are the only ones i respect. Besides that i hate most of them and would def pick a muscle car over them. But ive seen what those two cars can do so thats why i respect them. Since the camaro came out and heard that the challenger will be competition ive started to hate the dodge. I thinks its the recreation of the old one and nothing special. The mustang i like but with all the different variations like the shelby, saleen,... ect that look the same to me im tired of them.

I really can't say I hate imports, because if there were no imports, beating a mustang would get old REAL fast. I just greatly despise them. Only two non-GM cars I have my eyes on are the STi and the Eclipse.

Hey someone has to work really hard at being the underdog. Might as well be us import owners. The Eclipse looks the same coming as it does going. Sorry. But the STI is extreme hotness.

[AirGoya]

The new wrx looks so bad. It also performs badly

[urbanlegend]

The new WRX is an eyesore. Subaru fired their last designer because they didn't like what direction he was going in. They should send this new "designer" to Iran. You couldn't pay me to buy a new WRX. Bleh!

[MerF]

Agreed.

[twigg107]

I like the new look of the wrx and the sti will be even hotter!!! But I think I'll stick with my 05 sti sense I already have it.
