That is one badass car but my dad won't buy used cars from anyone he doesn't know. Those are probably a hard 14k miles.

Did anyone else read this. You have a 18 year old kid trying to talk his father into spendin 60k on something he doesn't want. This kid came one here to gloat about 60 thousand dollars that he doesn't have. Not to figure anything real out. Its his fathers money, not his. His father owns the the GT500. He owns a $5k dollar Mustang GT.

Everyone really should stop replying to these retarded threads.

has anybody seen the new camaro's in person? i did not like them in the beginning either, but i saw a nice black SS in the parking lot with red strips and i found myself staring at it for a good 5 minutes, even 3 people who passed by said damm that car looks real good. only thing that sucks is the interior

do you mean 60K worth on mods, or is that 60K including buying the car? i have no idea who the hell would blow 60k on modifying a car. if anything i would buy a used 98-02 fbody and do a sick H/C 408 with a nice procharger and call it a day.

Wtf is your problem? It is his money but he wanted me to research a few different options. Camaro is only what he's leaning towards. The engine in my GT costs more than 5k btw *******.

no love for an 09 CTS-V that turns mid to high 11s with tires , pulley and tune? and could be the most comfortable 11 second car as well. i dont know about the 09 but my 05 handles amazing so im sure its up there too for such a heavy car.

For your side the new Camaro is unoriginal now and the only people driving them (or at least where I live) are older guys trying to one up the Jones' and know nothing about cars anyway. And like it was said they will be just another car on the road soon.

Unless you plan to heavily modify the new SS, leave it alone. Even early Camaros are common among car shows and drag strips, but at least you can make it your own.

Personnally I would still go with a Porsche, but since you want show and drag, 60s and 70s Corvettes are also among my favorites, 68-72 being the best, and if you build it to be a show car and it still runs down the track, it is that much cooler! And with that sort of budget it could be well built with modern brakes and suspension, and of course a monster engine.

that would be sweet to have a pro-touring car. Like that tribute trans-am off of Muscle Car. Wasn't a big fan of it til they dropped in an LS7 that was pushin over 600hp.

Not as cool but the G8 GXP's have become almost collectors items? Just a thought.
