I would by a Corvette. You need a none of the above vote. The three cars listed are not bad, just a Chevy guy.

the SRT8 is a boss. no doubt about it. would love to cruise in that thing, as big and impractical as it is

heRS · 11-15-2010, 01:31 PM

not voting because I'd rather just drive my old junk truck. Wouldn't have considered buying a new car (let alone a new challenger or mustang) had I not test driven the Camaro. Never owned a mopar product, never been happy with a ford product so there ya go.

Out of those 3 choices, the GT500. In real life, I would buy a z06 which is exactly what I did.

This belongs with all the other, "if this car didn't exist" threads

I was close to buying a G8. Then GM got rid of them. Im happier now anyway.
Long live the Camaro.

CamaroDreams07 · 11-15-2010, 05:15 PM

If I had the budget for a GT500, I'd definitely buy a Z06. Shouldn't your poll make all the cars relatively the same price as the Camaro? Other wise it doesn't make sense.

Might as well go with If the Camaro didn't exist which would you buy:
Aston Martin DBS
Ferrari 599
Corvette ZR1.

Up here in Canada a 2011 Z06 is $45-50K more than a 2011 GT500 and I paid the same for my (new) 2010 GT500 as a friend of mine paid for his loaded 2010 L99 Camaro SS. Soooo......

I was in the bathroom there and two Vista Ford sales guys come into the bathroom unaware of my presence. They start talking trash about Chevy owners! I walked out of the stall proudly wearing my Camaro T-Shirt, looked them square in the face and said... "And you two guys are why I will not buy a Ford here!" They were speechless.

Most 2011 GT500's sticker for under $50K.

Was it a SuperSnake or just an extemely out of touch dealer? I've seen dealers still trying to unload 2008-2009 GT500KR's for that kind of price.

Yep, a GTO will lose to most RTs. Been there, done that.
