To each thier own. I would much rather have either of my two Z's than any camaro. If I were given a camaro I would have a little fun with it for a couple weeks and then sell for a nice profit to put towards my Z's. The camaro is like a lot of other cars where the public follows due to hype. Thats why I love the Z so much, not everyone has one and not everyone wants one. As for other domestics I would much rather have a 66-67 GTO, 70-73 Maverick, or Roadrunner over those camaros you posted pics of. Not that I have anything against camaros but as I said to each thier own.

Not in a straight line. But we could head to the gas station to get you a wrecker when you can't make the corner.

Nice photos, kid.

i think the early 70's Camaro's are the only muscle car I would be interested in owning. I missed owning one back in the day by a few years. Here's a picture of me in my factory order '77. I later added an L88 hood, headers and true dual exhaust.

back in the 80's I owned a 73 Camero just like the blue one in the first picture above. In my opinion it was a POS. It did not handle well, it was like a boat to drive. The engine was also weak and troublesome, it was a bad smoker and oil burner at 80k miles. I trashed the car doing a doughnut in a field because I hit a big rock that was hidden in the tall grass, the rock destroyed the rear suspension. The Camero's of the 60's were nice, I bought a yellow 68 after trashing the 73, it was a nice car, I wish I kept it, it looked like the car below.

Here's mine:
Fer sale, btw. I'm in Pawtucket RI.

I hate 2nd gen camaros. I'll gladly take any 1st or 4th gen though. I'm in the process of buying a 94 Z/28 now. I'll take my Chevelle over anything though.

I second the Ford Maverick comment.I had two:One was a 1975 and the other was a 1973.Great cars,and not too overpriced like their cousin the Rustang

If you can't trust a Spanish used car dealer with an English sir name using a Cameroon e-mail account, who can you trust?

Love the pic of the silver 240Z.....way cool. I guess I am a car fan, it doesn't really matter what brand, model, color, or even the running gear it has, if it appeals to my eyes, I like it. Brand loyalists, are about like voting party lines in an election, it just makes no sense when you can't gt the best choice.

I'm the same, I love old cars, new cars whatever... If it looks good I rate it, if it looks junky I'll say so. I grew up around hotrods and all that stuff, my dad used to have a 57 Chevy which is still one of the coolest cars in my opinion.
Camaros I do like are the ones without the huge back fin/spoiler but the more subtle one like this:
Or even better, this:
That's one of the toughest looking rides I've ever seen... Can you imagine that monster in your rearview? Scares me just looking at the photo lol

I agree with CKelly78z....I enjoy cars of all types....although people are often grouped by the car they drive...I'm sure when guys started hot rodding the camaros, stangs and so forth an older generation just couldn't believe how those kids were wasting there money....course I guess before then there was only so much you could do to a horse and buggy...I think a little shot of whiskey always gave the horse more power and they were already rolling on 30s to 40s...

85, I sense some hostility in you. You're always calling someone stupid or degrading them if they don't think the same way you do.

I got me a z 28 for Christmas 92, rear end blown at 300 miles, obviously something was wrong he he , still have it, 129.000, look like s..t, those were the days of water paint, it runs faster every year, no smoke-at-start-up, been drive like rental since day one, lots of oil changes, 3 cheap alternators n one new water pump is all he took..
Have you shared the left lane today?

Dont know about there, but here in Australia Chevy motors are used in just about every type of motor racing that exists and very rarely do you see Pontiac motors used if ever.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, words does not do justice for this car.
It also said it had a HEMI CAM... Never heard of a Chevy with a hemi cam?
It's a camera mounted in the rear of the car that transmits to an LCD screen, which discreetly tucks away when you don't need it...
"We call it a Hemi Cam because that's where you'll see all those Hemis... Behind you... It also has a camera mounted behind the radiator pointed toward the engine, and there's one mounted on the front caliper so you can watch the car preform...

I'd like to know what arubabill drives to consider the vette a pile of crap? Although I can't say I disagree with him, chevy hasn't made anything good besides the vette and the LT/LS series engines pretty much since the muscle cars being talked about. I don't really see Pontiac as any better though, matter of fact they have nothing to compete with the vette.
I will say this though, just yesterday I took my first loss in quite a while. I ran a WS6 Firebird, he definetly had gears and exhaust and I'm almost positive he sprayed me. His was quite a bit faster than one I raced only a couple weeks ago and beat for $$.
Dad and I have a 67 RS convertible, with a merlin alum 427 sb/munci 4spd/ford 9". It's white with the orange racing stripes and black top, sits on weld draglites. Ken, he bought it from a guy in Arlington. What sucks is that now it hasn't been started in several years. When its all mine I plan to fuel inject the motor, swap in a T56 and completely update the suspension and brakes. I really wouldn't mind the camaro body sitting on a C5 chassis.
