I dont know. Jut have to see. Right now I am feeling the 2020 Vette is like a new pretty girl moved to my school and Im in love. I just cant have the regular model, I want a Z06 at least so Ill have to wait for that and then about two years after to get the bugs worked out.

I actually love my hellcat but I am sure in 3-4 years it will be feeling long in the tooth. It already is kinda old in terms of the styling since its not really a huge redesign from the previous gen. I tell you hough the Hellcat is FANTASTIC. I think a lot of us really do Not give it the credit it deserves. That thing flat out gets it. flat out a monster. I am glad I got one because I really never gave it a shot.

Im not a fan of the s550 Mustang.

Mustang, Challenger, GT-R...4 seats, good looking and fun. I’d order a GT500 today but am not going to pay an ADM. 2-3 years down the road and they should have the job1 bugs worked out and I can get one for MSRP or less.

If and when they stop building Camaros, I will hang on to my 2017 ZL1 for as long as possible! Still say we need to wait for official word from GM that the Camaro will be discontinued before we get too upset and anxious!

This is where I am...my biggest challenge will be patience. I feel GM nailed it on our car & being in a 50th ZL1 has me balancing will I be keeping/modding with the road course Jannetty 150 package long term vs the totally unknown future of the LT5 ZL1 next gen & what will the lines be like??

I absolutely love both the lines & delivery of we have, but know myself enough to throw a lot of $$$ into the 17 & yet still step up if GM decides to one up themselves...add in the timeline & it's a head scratcher. All I have done is BMR suspension work thus far.

I like the C8 but the Camaro fits my style better...even the little stuff like the superior storage that I never even considered when I purchased. Trunk space was the last thing on my mind as a non-DD but man is it nice to be able to use my camaro for running errands after being in a company truck. I'm an FFL as a side gig and never thought I would be able to easily haul multiple large packages. Man I hope GM is listening. They could move the Camaro better with some/any sort of marketing & don't understand big $$$$ and their bizarre reasonings a lot of the time.

speedraider · 08-01-2019, 08:55 PM

Shit....As soon as the c8 hits the ground, My zl1 is gone anyway.

SSport16 · 08-01-2019, 10:22 PM

C8...want one big time, but am hoping to keep my SS as well. Hoping the 7th gen comes about, would be sad to see the Camaro go!

Tayley1LE · 08-02-2019, 06:22 AM

I will be keeping mine for a long time. I have been wanting a ZL1 for ever. But if I was buying something different it would be a C8. I would have never considered a vette until now.

BIG DOG 'VETTE is in my future!
The front engine/rear drive platform is maxxed out...the GM mid engine platform is in its infancy.

Smokin19 · 08-02-2019, 07:11 AM

My Camaro ZL1 will not be going away. My age makes this the last muscle car I will own, it's up to the rest of you. When you look back in the next 25-30 years, you will ask yourself, "I wish I had kept.....", just like us guys from the 60's now.

This is why I feel the camaro will not go away. The camaro will now be the only front engine muscle car platform for GM. All those diehard front engine corvette/camaro folks will now solely focus on the camaro. The mid-engine C8 is absolutely awesome, but I'm old school and I love the front engine setup, that's what I grew up with. There will always be a market for front engine muscle, and I can't see GM walking away from that.
