Haha, that was what we were looking at before the camaro. It kind of pissed me off that no one knew what they were.

He's decided to get the 2010 camaro now, either the z06 or the gt500 in 2012 and maybe start building a 67-69 camaro in a few years. Thanks for the help guys.

tell your dad to give you the gt500 and tell him to buy the new camaro for himself. those gt500's are fast as fuck (its the truth) with little mods like intake, pulley, etc

If you're gonna go nuts with mods (forged bottom end/stroker/boost or nitrous), get a base LS2/LS3 C6 and use the rest of the cash for the parts.

If you're not gonna go past H/C, C6 Z06.

My car > New camaro.... sucks for you!! lol It's cool you're getting a new camaro. I'm sure the camaro is a very nice ride. Exterior appearance lacks big time with the new camaro. Only seen a handful that look good. They were all dark grey/black with iforged wheels.

yea man seriously there that fast. if you add just a intake to the car that is a gain of a whooping 80WHP!!!! its fuckin crzy. i dident believe it at first but these gt500's are running up with c6 zo6's there a close race man. but then you say to your self, did i really pay 50k for a fuckin mustang? its still a mustang to me. i got a ride in the shelby KR500 and it was pretty badass, with 4 people in the car that thing flew dude.

How about one of those ACR Vipers? If I remember right they are well over 600hp.

Or you on crack? Equal to a C6Z?

Now, I'm not taking anything away from a Gt500 because they are a hell of a car.. But seriously, running with C6Zs? How about getting the doors blown the hell off? That wouldn't even be a run.... Straight line, braking, handling, etc etc etc.. C6Z would DESTROY a Gt500..

FWIW, my vote goes for a cam only C6Z!!! High 9s/Low 10s with all the creature comforts and still drive like stock, but what do I know?

See post #45, and yea I would go with a vette too. The Camaros are nice but for that price I would rather have a vette unless I HAD to have 4 seats
