Plus the fact I thought I would grow to like the body style, that never happened.


i have been arguing with a friend that the 2012 camaro V6 is faster than the 2012 civic si. he keeps arguing that a stock si can beat a stock V6 camaro any day, because it is lighter and has that v-tec technology, which is in fact, only increased timing and something to do with the cams. lol

i told him that his car has over 100HP less and the torque rating is even lower, but he still says he could wipe the floor with me in a race. i refuse to street race, so he just accuses me of being afraid i will lose.

so, since you have owned both cars, which would you say is the faster car?

Find the nearest drag strip and go settle it!

I sold my 1999 Cadi Deville , traded my 2005 Mustang GT , and gave the 2010 Mercedes E350 to the wife to get my 2010 Camaro 2 ss/rs . It was worth it.

Traded in my 08 Hummer H3 that was modded out with 35" tires, new suspension, ported TB, tuned, etc, etc, etc, and sold my 67 Mercury Cougar. The Cougar was my attempt to replace the 69 I had that burned in a body shop fire but it wasn't the same. I loved my H3, but always loved the 5th Gen style and almost got one when my lease ran out but didn't. Held on to the H3 for the snowy winters but after awhile didn't care if it snowed or not and got my IOM last year. Love it but probably like most everyone here, wish I could have kept everything.
