My Corvette(s): Any C2/3/4/or early C5 would be fine | Camaro?
Well I am researching on getting my own car. I was wondering should I get a Camaro (1990s or late 80s)? Of course it is going to be a V-6 or Z28 hehe. If not that I was wondering on an Accord coupe or Civic.

Thinking the same. Just want a nice exhaust that would scare those 5.0 ponies away to go with that Camaro.

I'd go for a 97 Camaro Z28.. Had one for 10 years and LOVED it..
Sebring Silver is very nice with the leather and t-tops.. | |

Good Luck with the search.
Just for laughs and grins, I opened up that link and wow. 6900 for a 12 year old car with 148000 miles, a damaged front end/dented rear panel and a rebuilt tranny? Hmmmmmm,,, Wonder what I could get for my 89 Vert down there in Texas

In my opinion, the LT1 Camaro's are hard bargains to beat. You get some pretty good muscle for the money.
Of course, it's a Camaro so they'll have that nasty hump on the passenger side floor. | |

How about looking for a decent C4? Camaros are nice for sure.....I've owned 3 of em myself, but you've already said that you really want a Vette. Is it a possibility? | |

On the passenger side floor, there is a little hump by the center console.

Nothing wrong with a little hump.
