well,
not sure if this the right time or not but been trolling the boards/internet searching for a camaro.

long story but back in the day had several high hp evolutions with the last one deep into the 11's.
got out of cars for the last 14 years (except for a lone genesis coupe with the 3.8 that I modded) so I could spend our time on the water. went through 4 wakeboats and just sold our 2020 tige so in search of a car again.
I'm a mustang guy(zips up flamesuit) but gf has wanted a camaro since she was in junior high. you know the old saying happy wife happy life so hence the reason I'm here
we rented a hendricks camaro from hertz last summer and had a BLAST in it. that 6.2 with the 10speed was hands down the best powertrain I have ever driven(well, except my neighbors 2021 vette) so I'm ok with skipping the stang for the time....

been looking for a low mile gen5 ZL1 or a gen6 SS. cars are hard AF to find. our only 2 boxes are auto and blue, otherwise really don't care on options and the such. not going to turn it into a track terror, more a fun weekend driver that I can tinker with a few basic bolt on's.

sure once we score one I'll have a ton of questions for the group here so looking forward to both being a bother with questions and eventually able to offer up some advice once I learn about the car.....

let the search begin......

Good luck and welcome to the forum. Look in the Members Classified section cars for sale and you might find one to your liking!

I would go with a 6th Gen SS, it will be just as fast as the 5th Gen ZL1 (both are 4.0 sec 0-60) with a much better chassis (and much newer)... The 6th Gen are fantastic handling cars!

Good luck in your serch!

I'd only go with a 6th gen at this point, it has an astoundingly good redesigned chassis, great suspension and a much better interior. Not sure what matters to you the most, of course the powertrain is superb as well.

The 6th gen ZL1 is obviously the top dog, but you probably won't be disappointed with a 2SS either. Good luck with your search.

Welcome man, glad you guys enjoyed your A10 v8 camaro experience. Not sure if you have been keeping an eye on the market, but it is not a buyers market at the moment. If you wish to avoid grossly overpaying, I would HIGHLY suggest you wait a bit till supply begins to overwhelm demand again.

[sandm]

Thanks all.
I appreciate the push toward the gen6 so we will go that route. We r not in a hurry so plenty of time.

Related but i find gen5 in tapatalk but not 6. Is this forum not available yet¿

What is your budget? 40 to 50 for a new one? Some within 250 miles of you.

Have you checked your Dodge dealers? Many Camaros traded there for some reason....maybe the Blue Genie is still around.

[Pupilbone]

Welcome, and good luck with the search.

blue genie is long gone but chopper is still here and looking old and kinda plump
pricing wise want to stay in the mid-30's. nothing local. been looking for a week or so. seems to be a LOT of black, grey and white. blue is going to be our nemesis I think.

going to try and avoid buying here in vegas as cars seem to be priced a lot higher here than surrounding areas.
henderson chevrolet might as well open up an autocross track in their parking lot right now. it's EMPTY....

Welcome! Hope you find your Camaro!

[Sir Nuke]

Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
