Default Should I Jump Ship Too? :(

I'm very close to trading in the Monte on a Camaro M6 2SS/RS...

The only thing holding me back is how attached I am to this car. It's unique and It's perfect, I wouldn't change a thing about it right now. Hell my mom even loves this car haha.

But I've wanted a camaro since I was about 10 years old, and this is the perfect time in my life to do it. Mid 20's, single, take the train to work so gas is no issue...

AHHH WHAT DO I DO!?

You will not miss that car. Im not a fan of the 5th gen but its so much more car than the one you have. Do not waste more time considering it. If you have the means get a Camaro.

lol

And I could keep both but it's so impractical. I drive very little because I train to work, so paying insurance on 2 cars plus 125 a month for another parking spot (I only own one) is kinda excessive.

Traded my GXP and bought a camaro 2 weeks later, no regrets and has been a blast since. Headers and exhaust going on next month, you won't regret it.

Go for a better car... Like a 4th gen or GTO.

And for the record, I've driven a 12 second BMW for a week and 11 second GTO for a couple of weeks , and I still miss my car, I did a bit more than just drive it though. And it should've been hitting 12s soon.

Yeah most likely. Trade in appraisal was not very good.

Pay off your car and keep it. Wait for the new lighter, direct port injecton Camaro!
Mustang 5.0 is a better car btw. Its the cold hard truth.. Also Ford is supposed to make the Mustang
Even lighter then it is now

If you want something unique keep the monte carlo. If you want something everyone else has buy a camero or mustang.

The 5th gen camaro is just a fat pig. The mustang is like a chick with a little extra weight in comparison. Both are about 1/3rd the car they should be. Either are overpriced in their segment.

I vote corvette. **** camaro and mustang. You can score a nice C6 for the same price as a new camaro.

If a corvette is a no go...stick to a LS1 4th gen Fbody for GM and if you must get a mustang a 03/04 terminator as they are the only stang worth building up IMO...

Monte Carlo was paid in full as would the Camaro. And there's only 2 options in this poll... People told me not to buy a fwd v8 and I love it. I know what I like, I'm happy with Camaro's performance, I don't want a mustang or a vette.
