I have owned civics and acura's, thank you very much. it is a great alternative when you are young, because the cars were cheap and it was cheap to mod. That's why the boom in aftermarket increased so much. not because of insurance costs. I'm a little older now, and like to enjoy other cars that are more refined.

Not sure why you think I like Honda's so much, because I pointed out your false statement that it takes a TON of money to make a Honda as fast as a v8.
I said what I said because ive seen lots of guys spend $1000's trying to get a Civic to run. Now if there is a Turbo Kit out there for a Honda Civic for $1000 thats news to me but honestly I could care less what Honda's do they can stick with their sewing machine motors and I will stick with my Chevy V8...

I just have love and respect for any car. it's also priceless to see a 4 banger or v6 spank a v8 guy, who has no respect for other cars that aren't a v8. hilarious.

Honestly, I'd probably go to an older generation. A lot of cars are doing away with manual transmission, in the BMWs and Mercedes especially. I'd just find a clean 4th or 2nd gen and make that my new project car.

at the low end of 25K it's sure difficult to think of anything. at the higher end of 35K Cadillac ATS is about all i can think of.

If I didn't have my camaro I would probably be driving a lotus elise as a second car. That is on my bucket list of cars to own.

I'll go....

I would go 5.0...
I don't understand. If they stopped making new Camaros right this instant I'd be driving...my Camaro. They don't evaporate if the production line stops.

I understand your point, but would assume the OP was going after your next NEW car purchase choice. I did not buy my car new, and as many that are on the market now...used would be plentiful. Just like finding 4th gens on the market. Finding one "Unmolested"...that's a different story.

If 2015 was the last for the Camaro I'd either keep my car and keep modding and customizing, or find myself a 2010 ABM SS and then make her look like my current car.

Challenger, while cool, is not quite my taste. 2014 Mustang is also nice, but I'd rather have my Camaro. 2015 Mustang is a no go....its a Fusion coupe.

Challenger or maybe a Ford raptor.

Public transportation before a 5.0
