which would you get more pleasure out of DRIVING. Not racing. the faster you make a car, the less streetable it is, the more it sees track time and less road time. next thing you know you'll need a truck and trailer to get it there. A very smart man once told me that you should keep your race cars and street cars separate. Race cars aren't meant for long drives and street cars aren't meant for the beating they will get on the track. When you make your street car a race car, expect to pay more in the long run than you would on two separate cars.

Bike, gas prices are ridiculous right now and the money you save on gas could go into the camaro at a slow rate. Just be careful if you get a bike man.

i am getting a DD regardless of which route i go and id rather the camaro be a weekend/nice day kind of car. the only down fall of the bike is that i HATE having to constantly check the weather to see if its going to rain. im not a fan of riding in the rain.

I can see why you are having trouble. I have trouble even casting a vote in your poll.
But thinking more about it, I'd hot rod the Camaro and drive a beatbox daily.
That way if you are really attached to it you won't be as pushed to sell it in a few years if a wife and kids start showing up... just saying...

Invest it into something that will make you more money and enjoy your slow Camaro for now.

Depends on the bike, if its a crotch rocket it would be fun, fast and good on gas. If it's a cruiser nahh, invest in the Camaro

im more then likely getting a bike for now. just because i miss it so much. Riding a bike is far more enjoyable then driving the car (unless im racing someone). i still have awhile until im home so well see if my mind changes before that time
