Default Best security for my camaro

I live in New Orleans, the most stolen cars here are f-bodies and I'm looking to get a security system this weekend. Any suggestions on the best security system?

Wire up a switch with a relay to cut off the fuel pump when the switch is off. Place switch in discrete and easily accessible location. Flip switch off when parking in bad areas, or all the time as I did.

Just be aware that if the thief wants it, he WILL get it.

if a thief wants your car, he will get it. my brother had his 94 integra gsr stolen in front of my house a few years ago. he had an alarm, a club on the steering wheel, a club on the clutch, and a kill switch.

where i live, hondas here are like f-bodies in NOLA. the local honda forums have a section dedicated to stolen hondas

A 1911 and lots of .45ACP.

Oh, and an alarm made by any one of the DEI companies (viper, clifford, python) to let you know when to start shooting.
