Default Can't decide between two great cars.

Okay, so I recently bought my black 1996 Camaro z28 with only 10,000 original miles on it. Before I bought it, I was looking into buying an 04-06 GTO. I stumbled across the car I have now and couldn't pass up the deal. Every time I see a GTO on the highway I question if I bought the right car. LOL just give me some advice folks.

Well, I love my GTO and I know that if your willing to keep them for the long haul they will become a classic and really go up in value. Not saying camaros are **** because they are not specially the SS which is freaking sweet (I owed 2, an RS and a Z28). Just saying that goats are more rare and are more likely to go up in price quicker.

Yes and now he can't drive it cause to keep it rare it has to have the low miles.

OP, what did you need the car for? Rare car investment, Car show, DD or weekend fun. I would have got a low mile GTO over the Camaro, oh wait I did!

GTO is way more comfortable and better built the a camaro..

im not a fan of lt1 camaros at all but being its only got 10k man keep that thing new and get something else to drive. in 30 years that car might be worth something its perfect unmolested for this long protect it

yeah im definetly leaning towards the GTO. I love my car, but I feel like it should be kept the way it is, instead of modding it like I intended.

Sweet car. Nothing to feel bad about. From a purely technical standpoint I'd much rather have the LS1 than the LT1. Plus when you add in the GTO's interior, and generally better build quality, I'd have selected the Goat. But hey, that's me. You have a great car. Enjoy!
