2010 Camaro

Skid pad scores are only a piece of the story. You need a suspension that allows you to keep that type of grip over surfaces that aren't ideal. You need a suspension that is tight yet compliant to make the car drivable.

That 30k is the starting price. Find one on the lot with no options for me ok. If you can I'll buy it and I have the cash to do so. For the money, I will buy a BMW 328i that doesn't need all that horsepower, since it doesn't have to come to a stop everytime the roads get bumpy and/or twisty. Or better yet, I'd love to go find a nice used M3 for the same price, that will retain value better and completely destroy all but the best GM car. That would be the Corvette, which would still lose, it just wouldn't be complete destruction.

328i is 37 starting, like I said there isnt a NEW car that gets you the performance of the camaro for the price (the mustang is close).

Its clear that none of you have ever driven a Veta chassis car. They handle really well. Nice and predictable handling, They will step out a little bit in the corner if you get on it but its very controlable. They could shed some weight but its really not that bad, the camaro is what 400 pounds more then a mustang?

Yeah, 6 grand difference from an SS camaro. Of course, that's assuming the SS has no options other than the SS package. Find one of those on the lot. And most times, you have to spend a few more dollars to get a better vehicle. Or buy the used M3 that will hold value better and do everything better.

IMHO you don't actually believe the Camaro is a better car, you just don't think that a German car is better than an American car. Did you notice, no arguments from anyone when I said the Mustang is better than the Camaro? BUT. BMW? Oh no I didn't!!!!!

Try that on a chevy forum...

You're comparing a car built and designed to be a sports car (for many years), to cars that have always been designed and built as muscle cars. Yeah, they should make these cars a bit lighter and handle better...no doubt about it. But it seems that the muscle car feeling is still something they want to keep alive even in the newer cars.

You really can't compare new versions of the muscle cars to the old versions, there really is no comparison. Much safer, and better in most ways. But there's always room for improvements.

If you like the bmw, go with the bmw...simple as that. I wouldn't buy a mustang or camaro and expect a bmw. I don't really care for the looks of most bmw's anyways.

My thoughts on the camaro are that from the front it looks good, front angles are good too, but the rear is what kills the vibe. Ugly ass... Interior is nice, and feels nice. Drives nice too. Kinda has a chopped top look to it.

Come to think of it, I'm probably one of the only people in the country who has had to buff one of these bad boys already. Some idiot sent it without the panel covers on during shipment so it arrived with acid spots. Looked wicked as hell in black though.

There is one just down the street from my girlfriends house, it is friggin amazing. I wanna do horrible things to it's tailpipe.

I love euro cars, Im a VW/Audi guy. The m3 is a great car but like I said you cant buy a NEW car with the performance of the camaro for its price. The stang is real close, but I would rather have the camaro. Even with options the camaro is less the a 328, and if your going to get a 3 series you might as well spring for the 335.

I personally think the Camaro is better. I hate Beemers, I hate the interiors, I hate how most of them look, most don't drive to my likings (yes I have driven a few) and I hate the rich arrogant snobs that drive them. And for the fact that no-one argued that the Camaro is better than the Mustang, well this is kind of a Ford biased forum...

Now that being said, I'll drive almost anything as long as it runs, even a Beemer. Would I pay for it? No, but I would have (and have had) fun beating the living shit out of them.

Oh, and that $37k Beemer is a "no option" car too.

 

[COPPERHEAD85]

Its Bimmer.........Beamer is a motorcycle............I used to be one of those "snobs" that drove one.325I convertible.Handled like it was own rails.
Loved it will own another.

 

[Jason]

Oh, and that $37k Beemer is a "no option" car too.

Huge difference between standard equipment on a Chevy, and BMW.

 

[Chevelle Kid]

Not entirely. The standard motor on the Beemers suck, I have a close friend that has a base model 5 series and it always fails to impress me, no matter how hard he tries.

I know that I can't convince you that the Camaro will be a better car than the Beemer and you sure as hell can't convince me the opposite so I'm going to step out of this one.

 

[Jason]

Standard motor? As opposed to what? You have to get a different model to get a different motor.

 

[Chevelle Kid]

Idk, I think it's a 525. I just was never impressed with it, same with the X5 they had with the big V8.

Between the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger I really like the styling on the Challenger. The Challenger looks better in pictures than it does in person though. In person though, the car is just way too big. Its not that I don't like big vehicles but if I'm getting a sporty 2 door I don't want a car that's as big as a minivan. The Mustang looks way better in person than in pictures, I would absolutely love to have a GT. The Camaro just doesn't do anything for me, could be because hype was built up years before the car was actually released and the design is already kind of old to me.
If I were to rank them:
1. Mustang
2. Challenger
3. Camaro

To the fellow that commented on preferring a BMW I agree entirely, they are awesome cars to drive but there is not a single BMW dealership in the state and the parts are quite expensive. A BMW would simply be far too expensive to drive and maintain for me to consider. On the topic of German cars, a GTI would be pretty sweet considering it would be more drivable in the winter than any of the previously mentioned cars . The only problem with that would be trying to get used to the FWD platform again, its just never felt normal to me and I quickly forgot about it after selling my only FWD car.

Based on looks Challenger>Mustang>Camaro.

The Challenger is a little bigger, and a little heavier than the rest, but it is still smaller and lighter than my dream car, the original's sister ship... the 'Cuda.

Sure they might not handle as well or go as fast as others but they cannot be beat for style. Make mine black with the carbon fiber stripes...

Nothing against the Mustang (which is still a darn fine looking car), but I fell in love with the old E-bodies at first sight right after I started driving.

The Camaro is ok, IMO they veed the front too much.

Carbon fiber LOOK stripes. Not even real carbon.
