Never owned a Camaro.

In fact have only owned 4 cars in my life to date and only one of them was brand new.

I live on a small island that I can't even drive a Camaro on...you would never get out of second gear on the streets anyway, but cars are restricted on engine and body size.

My wife and I made the decision to buy a house in Florida recently and this provided me with the opportunity to finally get the car of my dreams.

I was considering something really expensive and had sort of settled on a Maserati GT, mainly because I like the look and the fact that it has 4 seats. That was the plan.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Florida dealing with the house purchase and in doing so happened to drive past a Chevy dealer. There were rows of Corvettes, but then out of the corner of my eye I spotted the 2010 Camaros. I almost rear ended the car in front of me as I gawked from the driver seat of the horrible little SUV renter. I'll be honest...didn't even know it was a Camaro...had to pull a Uie to find that out.

I have spec'd out my new 2010 Camaro and plan on driving it off the lot in July. I haven't actually ordered it yet, still hanging on the fence about options. I post on another bulletin board based in the US, full of a bunch of reprobate flight sim enthusiasts but generally a bunch of great people, one of which recommended I post over here. Given all the amazing info I have learned on BBS' and all the people I have even met in real life as a result...here I am.

You will need to blame Blue's_Z28 for this.

Glad you are finally able to get the car you want (or at least able to drive the car you want). However, I would get a Corvette over the Camaro if I were you. I'm assuming since you were considering a Maserati you can afford the Vette If I lived in Florida I would want a sports car with a removable or convertible top and the Camaro is only available with a sunroof Or wait until they come out with the convertible Camaro. That's my opinion but good luck with whatever you decide.

Welcome. That would suck to have a engine size limit. Glad you can finally get the car you want. Good luck and enjoy!

Hiya Curvie, glad to see you could make it over to my small part of the BBS world. Well, another one anyway. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bermuda.

As to the Corvette, a few people I have spoken to suggested the Corvette over the Camaro. Problem is, I have 3 kids. If I want to take 2 of them with me to the mall, or a movie, or wherever....I'd have to drive the minivan.

Well if you have that kinda money but really like the new Camaro. Then I think a special order, built how you want it Camaro from Hennessey is what you are looking for.

I know exactly what you mean. Nothing turns heads like a car nobody over there sees on a regular basis.
