What you would replace your camaro with for under 40k. - Page 3

jrbss · 06-14-2011, 12:54 PM

I recently went thru the same thing. I was looking at replacing my EVO X and my Mazdaspeed 3. Both were great cars but I wanted something different.

I went with a 370Z and a Camaro 2SS/RS and couldn't be happier. The Camaro is a great car and alot of fun as is the Z. I wouldn't choose one over the other. They are just "too" different and each fills a niche.

If you looking for something that is more unique, the 370Z is a lot less common. Between 09-10, only 24,000 units were sold in the US.. Its hard to even find one at this time as production has slowed due to the events in Japan.

Well for me, the Evo/Subaru/350z/370z are all non options. I bought my Camaro because I was too big for those cars to be a daily driver. Even a Corvette is difficult for me to drive "comfortably".

So, let's go by the assumption that my Camaro has been totaled due to a storm and I'm now in possession of a check for 40k. The purpose of me buying another car is to replace my performance oriented car.

A few thoughts jump to mind such as a used SRT8 anything, a newer Mustang GT 5.0, perhaps a used GTO or G8 GT/GXP. Plenty of power upgrades for those cars available....

I'd probably go after a SRT8 Jeep, simply because I can have the power and still have the 4 doors while getting a how the hell did I lose to that look at the track...
