Stuff Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Hey man, I'm a Camaro guy and have had mine since I was 15. I don't regret my decision in buying and fixing it up ALL the time but from my experience you may want to consider a cheap daily driver before getting a "project car. (if this is what you want to do with it?). When I was yer age I worked my ass off just to buy gas for the thing and that was it...had no Banshee at that time! But hey, if its a car you like and want to put some time and money into it...go for it. I'll give you a little heads up......When I bought mine, it was a V-6 automatic. Well, that didn't last long at all, I convinced my parents of a cheap 350 and a 4 speed (my dad was very cool about it ) To make a long story short, the 350 got a rebuild and a few bucks dumped into it which wasn't enough for me It now has a big block with a few more bucks than the small block...but who's counting! It is my project car and don't want to look back and see how much I put into it but I love it! Quote
fixitrod Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 You need to think about insurance cost also. Just something to keep in mind. Quote
CoopBanshee Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Do not get the camaro. Get a Mustang, they hold their value better and there are many more aftermarket parts for a mustang than a camaro. But that might just be me because I owned a mustang. Quote
Stuff Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 You need to think about insurance cost also. Just something to keep in mind. um, yeah, I forgot my registration says its a 6 cylinder Insurance is not cheap for a Camaro and I have never gotten a ticket! thanks tithead Quote
jeffro189 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 all i have to say about camaros is DAAAAAAANG they make me want to grow a mullet. but a real car, a mustang!! Quote
coolhead03 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Never again will i buy a camaro. I had an 87 IROC with T-tops 350 i also wanted a 5 speed but that was a special order or somthing so it was rare. All it did was rattle and the T-tops leaked and it sucked on gas 150 miles ton a tank on the highway. Plus all the speeding tickets. Cops just watch those cars and cant wait to pull them over. If I were you i would skip the muscle cars for now I dont know what gas prices are where you are but 1.85 for cheap shit here. Just some advice from somone who's been there Quote
