(No V8's!) What would you choose if the 5th Gen Camaro didn't exist?

[O.F.]

In between my '12 L99 coupe and my current vehicle, I drove a 2014 Nissan 370z sport coupe. PILES of fun in the twisties and seemingly endless rpm's. Ergonomics sucked (I'm over 6'). Limited space in the cabin, sparse amenities, AND the lack of that V8 sound brought me back to my current ride.

Wow nice car and color too! I have always loved the 370Z's so that would likely be my choice if I can't go V8. I sat in a black one at a car show this year and it was super cheap too. If I had a place to park it I would have bought it just because.... I could.

Sadly, they are "cheap". I couldn't believe how quickly it depreciated. Surprising too because they are built very well.

Would have got my dodge 3500, 4 door long wheel base... would have been a sweet truck. Full egr delete, straight piped, chipped... id be blowin doors off these Camaros. However, i foolishly feel in love with my camaro across the car lot when i went to buy my truck...

Huracan. My best friend and colleague just sold his 458 and has a new matte yellow one coming Saturday. Can't wait to drive it so I don't have to buy one. 0-60 in 2.5, 10.4 1/4 and 211mph top speed. Also beat everything in its class at big willow. The only Lambo I have ever liked. Clean and mean.

There were 2 cars I was eyeing; neither were V8's...
One, a car from the past and a company that no longer exists,


And the other, a car not yet on the streets (not out until 2013), but also from a brand that is now dead.

(My wife now owns this one )

I'm not bashing on you, but I never liked the Pontiac Solstice, IMO it looked like a polished turd... but the one you post, actually looks awesome

Probably would have bought a nice 68-72 Nova for a Sunday driver. and kept the rest in the bank.

[29er]

ats-v, cause it would be 2 doors, manual and it's very nice too, has luxurious interior. it has style too.

[mikel441]

I would have restored a 2nd gen Formula Firebird or Z28. Which was my plan until I discovered they were building the 5th gen Camaros.

solstice coupe.as a low production car it has appreciated in value.i can tell you from owning one that it drives like a go kart and i mean that in the best way possible.
