What non-GM car would you consider replacing your 6th Gen with if you had to? - Page 4

Upcoming 2023 Toyota Supra with manual transmission! Same price range as my current car and would be fun with a manual. Loosing the back seat which i do use for my kid would suck though.Not to mention with just a tune those Supras put down some serious power.

I think if I ever got rid of my ZL1, I would probably buy a used 911 GTS4 with a manual.

My Camaro is my toy, therefore it MUST have a manual. This is the reason I will never own a C8: no real manual. But, a 911 GTS4 with manual would be a worthy successor in my garage. All wheel drive AND a manual. Cannot beat that with a stick...

It is even the right color... ;-)

911 GT2 RS

ST1LE · 07-03-2022, 08:41 AM

Porsche 911 was going to be my next buy actually, but the models I was interested in all jumped 35%+ on the used market so now I am just going to buy a ZL1.

Pre-pandemic, $90-$100k would buy you a great condition used 911 GTS 4. Not anymore though.

Building a new 911 takes me to $150k, not far off the used prices these days, but i dont love the new 4-cylinder turbo approach. It's hard enough for me to give up the V8.

I guess in this market, it would have to be a C7 GS or Z06 manual.

Porsche GT3.

Like y'all I love my Camaro, but if I had to get rid of it and get something new it would come down to two choices. Either a Bugatti Chiron, or a 1981 Honda Civic 1500GL, powder blue with real pleather seats, cassette deck, and 233K all highway miles in mint condition. Those things are tireless classics.

Although I'm about to replace the Camaro for a 3 row crossover...family comes first.

Wide body gives some surprising stability, but it goes shaky shaky on uneven road. Plus fighting with steering wheel on rutting on account of... minus ET on wheels... Yup. They just changed ET on wheels, no suspension changes (except thicker sway bars).

Bottom line. On corners - if road is nice and flat the car behaves nicely, but you can feel the weight. And steering isn't nearly as sharp as in Camaro.
But it has it's own charm...

My only Chrysler product was in 83 , a 74 dart sport. 360, 727 auto. Headers,cam, bigger carb. Engine and transmission very good.Handeling and steering worst I've ever experienced.

Well... Today we have double wishbone suspension and magnetic shocks. It's pretty good, but still heavy.

If the Camaro was just plain gone? Probably a Scat Pack Challenger. They are okay for what they are, and pretty fun to drive.
