Should I Jump Ship Too? :(
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...

....and I got dibs on the hood!
If you are getting a crappy appraisal on your MC, you might want to think about this. I could swap my hood + cash, you could swap rims + cash with Shocker, and the dealer would probably not give you any less for trade in.
BTW, my Monte is the same color as yours.

agreed, there are about 4 G8GT's in my city of 40,000 people. There are a ton of new camaro's. Hell why not as G8 GXP since you seem to have the cash (assuming since you said they would be paid in full)

I say get rid of the monte and get the camaro. I sold my GXP and miss it because of how unique it was but Im starting to fall in love with my new charger. Im not a fan of the new camaro I would rather get the mustang (I just got smoked by the 5.0) but if you like it get it its better then the monte.

How is that Charger treating you?
But to the OP do what you feel is best for you. If you want the Camaro get it.

Redrocket I'd definitely consider that if I pull the trigger. Where are you located? And a g8 gxp would be nice but I did a search and there are very few available, and some of those had more miles than id want. While the gxp might be the better performing car, am I honestly going to have any less fun driving the camaro? Doubt it. Camaro just has that sports car look and feel that would be a blast to experience. I can buy a sports sedan when I have kids lol.
Anyway, thanks... I hope to make my decision soon so I don't waste away the summer.

I'm not going to be track driving it so I might as well have a Pony car.
I'm sure most vette owners have another car they could drive in the winter. And I know it's not the most comfortable, but at least I can fit a passenger in the back of the Camaro if need be.

Getting closer to pulling the trigger. Dealer is trying to locate the car I want.
PM me if you're interested in wheels, hood, or headlights.
It's going to have to be local because I'll need your stock parts. So please make your offer part + cash.
Here's what I have into each for your reference:
Hood - 1550+
Lights - 185
Wheels - 450
