Your going to love your chevy camaro and modding it. I guarantee it. I purchased my camaro mid january 2018 for $21k with 235 miles on it. I had a 07 cobalt ss supercharged that I traded it in for at Chevy Dealer. Had 151k miles on it. 11 years old & 2 accidents. Gave me 3 grand for it. First car i ever owned was my 99 Chevy Cavalier. All my chevys had well over 150k miles on them before I traded them in at my dealership for a brand new one. Germans are reliable vehicles but parts are very expensive expecially BMW and VW. But Chevys are dependable too, handle well, up-to date, and fun for your money worth. Each chevy I traded in for got me a couple Grand towards trade in for a brand new chevy coupe sports car. Out with old in with the new my friend. Mishimoto has Good Performance Products for the Camaro. I'd start there if I was you as a new 6th Generation camaro owner. I plan on installing their Cold Air Intake this summer. Supposedly will increase Noise from the Turbo. Possibly increase horse power and torque. Good luck and happy shopping and Be safe out there.

While I agree that Germans typically cost more to maintain, they typically use better parts and technology. Put it to you this way, the quality difference from driving my 2012 BMW 550i xDrive going to my 2015 Chevy SS Sedan is like going from a brand new Bentley to a 1995 Chevy Corsica. It's that big of a difference. Had I driven the BMW before the Chevy when I bought it, I can promise you I would have bought the BMW. It's the little extras on the BMW that make it worth it. Soft close doors are UHMAZING. If I get out of the car to run into buy a soda when I turn the car back on, all the settings like the heated seats and stuff are just where I left them. I can see the SS being favorably compared to an E39 M5, but the F10 with the N63 just puts it to shame.
