NO

No way. I wasn't a fan of the 5th gen Camaro so much that I bought a GTO. This was hard because I've owned many Camaros before. The 6th gen completely brought me back where the 5th gen didn't couldn't get me to look at it a second time.

I couldn't alter the appearance of any car I owned drastically either. No lambo doors, neon lights, transformer badges, stickers, all the gaudy stuff I see just isn't for me. In my area there is a 5th gen club that meets at Dunkin donuts. Their cars literally look like a circus car club. I pull through the parking lot and my car acts as if it is afraid to catch a disease from them

LMAO, that was priceless. A guy parked next to me with a 5th gen with lambo doors and a color changing wrap. I couldn't get away fast enough from him. Funny thing is he was a normal guy. And don't even get me started on transformer badges. That's why I don't go overboard with exterior mods - they don't age well.

What I would trade though is our engine for the LS7.

6th gen drivetrain without the style sounds like a good combo.

Personally, I could never get past the fake shark gills on the 5th Gen. Ruined the entire car for me. The little indents to pay homage to the original just came across as very cheap and tacky to me. Weird thing to get hung up on I know, but they really bugged me.

What he said! I like the 5th gens, but I love the sh!t outta my car!!
(I almost ended that sentence with "and I wouldn't change a thing!" but then I realized I already have, lol! All mods to enhance tho, not to regress, but I'm sure you know what I mean

Nope. Loved my 5th gen but I love the 6th gen styling even more.

The 6th Gen is a gorgeous car. I don't understand why people say it looks bad or bland? Everywhere I go, people always ask me about it and comment how great it looks. The 5th Gen always looked too bloated to me.

Are we really discussing this. You need to get a job and hell no cause I had a 5th gen and there is no comparison between the two and I'm a LS lover but it won't even kiss the ass of an LT1.

The 6th. gen. is nothing but an ATS coupe with a high powered Corvette drivetrain and a 6spd. MT. There is absolutely no upside to wanting a 5th. gen. Camaro over this one. Who would ever dare compare both? Thread truly boggles the mind. Weirdest question ever on this site. And I've read some f'd up threads on here. WOW!

I really disliked the 10-13 Camaro's but, I liked the 14-15's. Nonetheless, I wouldn't pay for my car to look like an older model.

I can't say no strongly enough. Not even worth considering in my view.
