1st post here. I have a '07 GT500 and a '02 nitrous injected mustang and i'm looking at getting a new toy. I know nothing about Chevys but i'm interested in either a new Camaro or Vette. With a 60k budget or so what would be the best model to get? Pro's/Con's of everything would be awesome. Thanks!

I would get a new c6 zo6 505hp 3100bls and a 10 second car in the right hands that can handle very well to. If you ask me its the best all around car (except for a new zr1) and with a head/cam combo with all the supporting mods can be made into one hell of a fast street car! With that budget you could get a used one with under 10k miles for $50,000 and have $10,000 for mods. Just my .02

After reading a little the c6 zo6 is what i'm leaning towards. Any input on the 2010 camaros?

get the less expensive 2010 models with a v8 and if you like leather or not its either the LT2 or SS2 package and DONT pay extra for the ls3 upgrade just get the stock ls2 with the ALLISON 6 SPEED and swap and LS9 in it (supercharged 427sbc LS7) 600 some hp bone stock

What are you talking about? 2010 camaros have either a ls3 with a 6 speed or a l99 with the auto the l99 is a ls3 with vvt and the auto is not an allison transmission. Oh and a ls9 is not a 427 its a beefed up ls3 with a roots blower and it cost $20k.

fuck that.!!!! buy a 4th gen. and build the living daylights out of it!!!! run twin turbo on a huge cubed ls1 or do something good with it. dont just go buy some rich prick car like a C6 z06 cause anyone with the money can buy it and you have a mid 11 to low 11 second car depending on the driver and with tires you have a 10 second stock car. thats fucking gay. you already have a nasty stock car your Gt is what a high 10 low 11 car? do some good with it. make it something everyone on this site will remember. just my two pennies

Hmm, yea, ....., let me think. The car gained over 100Hp from the previous generation, yet makes the same quarter mile time. On top of being a HUGE PIG, its also ugly as hell. They do nothing for me and i'm a die hard GM fan. For 60K this would be my list
1)C6 (not the ZO6 either, is buy a used C6 for under 30k and build a turbo widebody monster)
2)1999-2001-ish Corvette
3)99-2002 Firehawk
4)G8 GXP
5)Solstice COUPE GXP
6)Sky Redline
For cars outside of GM;
1)Audi RS4
2)Viper SRT-10
3)Ferrari F355
4)Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo V8
5)Audi Rs6
6)Saab Turbo X

you want show and shine with a drag setup. your gonna want 2 different wheels atleast one to race on and one to drive on. but with 60k you could make an amazing. F-body. really comes down to your preference. you want auto? powerglide? 6spd? Fuel injection? carbed? turbo? nitrous? supercharged? all motor? its really hard to tell you what to build.
so many things come into play what you want. also a goal. set a goal for yourself. a 9 sec or put down 1000hp or something like that. and then start there you can quickly spend that 60k and not touch what you want. but it all depends on what you want

Thats a pretty open question but I would say no way on the '10 Camaro. If you want brand new paid for get the new grand sport vette. If you want almost paid for get the z06, and if you are good with used get a nice 996 GT2 RS, or any of the many other all wheel drive turbo race ready Porsche models!

You should buy a super clean 98-02 F-body, which you should be able to find for 15-20k and put a huge NA motor in it that makes like 800HP.

10-25-2009, 08:37 PM
ARGUE THAT ITS THE NEW CAR "WOW" FACTOR here in a few years its just like any other camaro, everyone that has a few grand to drop on a newish car will have a camaro. go get an old school car and drop in a late modle power house. i mean whats better than a late 60's early 70's muscle car with a motor that scares children and women while at idle?
you'll have that proven classic good looks with the technology that gets you upper 20mpg!
most here are gonna say 69 camaro or TA chevelle... the GM list can go on for days.
look at maybe an old E-body mopar and drop you in a nasty LS motor.
A 69 1/2 super bee in copper penny is the dream car for me.
1slo_camaro
10-25-2009, 08:50 PM
yea like previously stated. i nice 69 camaro with a 572 a twin turbo setup. with some real real fat 335 in the back with a deep dish wheel slammed on the ground. turning 9s in the quarter but still very respectable on the street. might run a little more then 60k to make it look perfect. but with 60k can build yourself one hell of a car.

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.

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.

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.

really ??? i drove one at a dealership and it could barely turn the wheels in first gear with the traction control off. i was told it was a Ford Mustang Shelby Gt500. i couldve been told wrong but it had the little plaque signed by shelby and all.
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.

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?

A little clarification here. I'm going in on a car with my dad. The 02 is mine the 07 is his. I would like to build something from scratch and he wants a new camaro. Any arguments for my side?

you've got a gt500 and a nitrous huffing 02 mustang and a need for a new toy? it would seem to me, its most economical to put the nitrous system on the gt500 and sell the 02 mustang to some kid. that should get you where you want. then you can beat on the gt500 all you want, knowing that you have $60k to build it up or get something else if something breaks.
if the nitrous huffing gt500 doesn't provide enough thrills for you and you really gotta blow through that $60k, your only hope is to buy a clean 3rd gen camaro, fill the trunk with cocaine and head off to las vegas.

Along those lines, for 60k I would build my Ultima GTR. Or there is the new Superlite SLC. Use a LS2 engine and porsche or other transaxle. I am shooting for a 60k budget when I am finally able to pull the trigger on one of those. :cool:

Also an EXCELLENT choice...those cars rule.
A 2010 camaro SS with $20k in upgrades would do me. You would have an Easy 10 sec. brand new car. You would suprise many folks. If u get a Z06, folks expect fast, no surprises. But a 10sec 2010 camaro, that would be cool.

I honestly don't know if I would say it would be "easy" to hit 10s in a '10 camaro if you are going to do it reliably with 20k... Close, but I don't know about easy..

New camaros are ok, not better than an 02 f body imo. That are a vette, hell you can get a used vette and still put money into your present ride.

seriously? because this guy says he can make a "solid semi-dependable" 10 second civic with only $15k.

so maybe the civic would be a better investment since the 2010 camaro doesn't respond to mods as well.

I am paying attention to that thread... Parts are still expensive as shit for the new camaros.. In a couple years you will be able to hit 10s pretty reliably for under 10k..

You can pick up a used '08 LS3 Corvette for less than a new Camaro in some cases. This is a MUCH better base to start with, considering it's the same engine with about 600lbs less fat to haul around. Stock for stock the LS3 C6 will slam the LS3 Camaro.
Use the other $20-25k for mods. You will have a sick C6 at that point, and something much faster than a GT500 or sprayed Mustang GT.

If you want something to build with your dad that's LSX powered, build a Factory Five GTM and run mid 11s with 400 hp. That's what I would do.
