Chevrolet Camaro 1967-2002 - keep it & fix it up or add another car

Im a diehard camaro fan. But I always wanted a Mustang cobra. Im currently looking for a '96-'98 cobra. Love that body style even though its not a '03-04 cobra. Question is should I put 6,000 in my 99 camaro ss fresh motor or purchased a sn95 SVT cobra. My car now is perfect it has bolts on '9inch etc. Everything but h/c.

Are you talking about selling the Camaro for a....cough, cough, cough...Mustang? BOOOOOOO!! Not so sure the Camaro specific forum will yield great results with what you are asking. Unless you put a LSx into the Cobra!! :nod:

Why would you have to put 6k into the SS? Does the whole car need a lot of work?

I was in the same boat a couple months ago. i was thinking about getting rid of my car. I decided to keep it because I cant get crap for it, trade in was $5000. You can get a fun car like a camaro for $5000 so I kept it. I am rebuilding the car now as we speak, new cam and heads, bottom end rebuilt.

Haha. Im keeping the camaro. Im saying should I just make my camaro nasty or just leave it along. and get a Mustang SVT. Pretty much own two cars.

My car only has 95k on it. I was going to build the whole motor maybe d1 blower in the future. Funds are tight. Being a po-po and half black im broke (j/k). What heads and cam you going with

If its your daily, keep it and get something to mod. It sucks to have a car down when its your only car.

Got it cover. Its stays in the garage its hardly gets driven I owned it since may 2005 with 65k on it. I have a ford escort as my beater and gmc jimmy for winter.

Just got married my wife thinks I should get a new silverado or f150. I just dont want that payment yet

phew.....on keeping the Camaro. I think if you just got married, and your wife is cool with you getting another sports car, then you better jump on it bro! Trust me, the longer you wait, the harder it is to convince. LOL

^ I know she gets tried of me talking about cars. I paid mainly most of the bills and have no kids. But let's wait and see lol

If you say your car is perfect how it is and you have always wanted a mustang it's a no brainer in my book. Follow your dreams and get the mustang.

Saying you're a die-hard Camaro guy yet you're *seriously* considering a Mustang purchase is essentially an oxymoron. I'm not saying Camaro people can't like or own Mustangs, but if this were me, I'd work on the Camaro, get rid of your two junk DD's and buy a clean, newer DD.

all i have to say is yuck....with that out of the way, if you really want it, buy it. different strokes for different folks. my wife came from a ford family and races a ford chassis on a dirt track. and i have owned 3 ford's in my lifetime(never a mustang though, 2 f150's and a tempo). you would be better off spending the 6k on your current camaro in my book, then have fun destroying even the baddest terminator cobra. i love flashing my tailights to the ponies.

Id say get something normal as a daily or fall back car and mod the camaro

i would much rather have a h/ccamaro than a slobra

Camaro. Took me .01 sec. to come up with that answer. Mod the Camaro and keep driving the escort. Get some suspension on that thing and then get cracking on the motor.

Make it a sweeet camaro. Then sell the escort and gmc for a all year dd.

Camaro all the way

Lets see some pics of yours
