New Car...

[CamaroJoe1987]

Ok, so pretty soon, I will be in the market for a new car, Im thinking about possibly selling the Camaro, or keeping it as a side project with the TA. Not completely sure what to do with it yet. I had my eye on the new 2010 Camaro 1-SS, but its a lil too pricy and Im not likin the markups that the dealerships are doing. I test drove the new 2010 Mustang GT after my friend bought his, I liked the price, and pretty much everything else about it. I was thinking about a used Cadillac CTS-V, like 06 or 07. The most I am willing to spend is about $30,000. If you guys have any suggestions, feel free to chime in.

Keep one project because 2 never work out unless ur stanky rich. I would get the mustang gt but it would have to be a five speed.

[CamaroJoe1987]

of coarse it would, the clutch on that thing is like butter, so oft, and it just glides into gear

[NastyEllEssWon]

mustang gt only if it has the track pack option :nod:

I am looking at the Base GT, not looking to go crazy with it if I do get it, I only want the rear axle package

[Crayface]

CTS-V! i wouldnt buy a ford, i would only drive one if it was given to me for free

[V]

never have more than 1 project... trust me..

btw i dont take my own advice

[FIcamaroRE92]

GT is nice, are you gonna mod it?

[BurninrubberGT]

mustang gt only if it has the track pack option :nod:

that brings it to the price of a 1-ss lol

[NastyEllEssWon]

no it doesnt. it brings the price 1500 more. its like 30k even for a track pack gt. there are people on here seeing v6 2lt camaro's for 40k :rofl::rofl:

[LuvMyF8LWS6]

GT! Come see me!

[B4C]

of coarse it would, the clutch on that thing is like butter, so oft, and it just glides into gear

Its knida hard to get a feel for the clutch and shifter when your sideways in 2nd gear on rt 30........I mean um um um when your doing a new car prep:twisted::twisted::twisted:

[CamaroJoe1987]

that brings it to the price of a 1-ss lol

yea, on the computer, hey are doing crazy markups for no reason though, buyin the mustang, im looking at tax, and im lookin at $2000 in interest in financing, i was quoted in the low to mid 20's from paramus for exactly wat i want in it

[98Gsxr750]

go with the mustang gt.

[misterjuice]

G8 GT???

[Frosty]

If you like the looks of the GT go for it...however the performance is putrid compared to other vehicles in that price range. I'd spring for a V6 Camaro or a G8 GT before even thinking of a Mustang GT...slooooooow garbage.

[Featherburner]

G8 GT???

What he said.

[maroman88]

the new mustang is ugly as fukkkkkkk... get a used one if u really want a pos ford

[BurninrubberGT]

no it doesnt. it brings the price 1500 more. its like 30k even for a track pack gt. there are people on here seeing v6 2lt camaro's for 40k :rofl::rofl:

ya i was just using the #'s from car and driver, the gt w/ track pack was a couple hundred more than a m6 1ss....but your right mark ups are crazy, its like they are only making 1000 of them or something lol

[CamaroJoe1987]

I like the looks of the G8 GT, but i dont know the performance because the dealership I went to didnt even have one available for a test drive, so i dont even know the performance, I do like the style of the new mustang, better than the last, and it feels rock solid, it sounds great, like i said before, the clutch feels good, and it glides into gear. the used CTS-V i was looking at is 21,000 its black on black, the used dealer i went to wouldnt let me test drive for "insurance" reasons. so idk about that, the musang is honestly looking like a legit car

[FIcamaroRE92]

what about the challenger? I know I posted the GT before but this just came to mind.

[CamaroJoe1987]

I wasn't really considering that, I dont know really anything about it, i dont know how much they are goin for, and they look pretty damn big for a 2 door

[BurninrubberGT]

challenger is the most expensive
its the heaviest
and slow for what it is, it barely beats the mustang in the qtr

[mc73nova]

CTS-V!!

[BurninrubberGT]

what you could do is buy a used g8 with <10k on the clock for like 24/25...then buy the full kooks system/tune/intake and bam 12 second dd for under 30k...but if you want a stick then disregard this post lol

[band77one]

i would suggest a 2010 camaro rs, dont have to get a whole boatload of options, the car is gorgeous, and its got plenty of power to beast a mustang gt =D

[HeadlessNorseman]

CTS-V is on the top of my list of cars to look at once im done with college, And i think is one of the best(IMO of course) cars to come out of GM in the last few years. I personally rank it over the e39 m5 and a few other cars. Mustang does have the advantage of being new with factory warranty and all. And from what it seems they are very fun cars to drive

2004 Corvette Z06

buy a house?

[CamaroJoe1987]

I was actually just looking at like an 04 GTO LS2, one of my firends has one, and i was looking at some prices, they aren't that bad

they get expensive to mod :wink:

[maroman88]

[Blackbirdws6]

Used GXP G8

[BurninrubberGT]

they get expensive to mod :wink:

what isnt expensive to mod hahaha

and ya 04's were ls1's.....they are awsome cars in every category

[Syzygy]

the mustang is garbage. go with the cts-v or the camaro.

[CamaroJoe1987]

04's were ls1's

than his is an 05 or 06, im not too sure, i just kno its an LS2, i know they weren't the best looking, but the LS2's r pretty fast

[Tru2Chevy]

You really should toss out some criteria besides a price when asking for suggestions. Will you only buy a manual, or is that just preferred over an auto? Plan to mod the car at all, or keep it 100% bone stock for DD use only? 2 doors only, or is 4 ok? Good mileage a must? etc....

I'm thinking a G8 GT or a slightly used G8 GXP would be good just because they are solid, performance oriented cars that would fall into your price range.

Pricing is a biggie for me, and then also looking at insurance with 3 points on my liscence, i really am only lookin at manual cars. its only really going to be a daily driver, but i might do some things to it like exhaust, wheels, etc, small stuff. im looking for a coupe, but if it seems appealing enough to me as a four door, ill buy it. it must be rear wheel drive. good mileage is a must, im looking to find below 40,000 miles if i buy used

[V]

a 2008 Saturn SKY Redline, 11k miles, $24k. lots of warranty left.
260hp stock, 290hp with GM stage II kit, add intake ic pipes and exhaust, over 310hp in a 3000lb roadster.
you know you want it.

[CamaroJoe1987]

im still thinkin the GTO

[Jersey Mike]

Get the V.
As you know probably know, 06-07 had the LS2, as well as the fixed & much more durable diff. Interior and creature comforts are awesome and it's a blast to drive. Incredible car all around.

Seriously, you'll thank me. :lol:
