Waiting until 2 yrs into the to Gen6 (MY2018), when I expect a bug fix and 1LE release.

Until I can afford a Jaguar F-Type R Coupe. I'm 18, so a whillllllleeee

Current plan is to keep the car forever, but it was just up for sale two weeks ago. I absolutely love the car, but a Corvette is very tempting. Just starting a family and having our first child, I decided to keep the Camaro for now because of the backseat. If I like the 6th gen I'm sure I will make the swap as soon as a ZL1 option is available.

I have owned 25+ cars. The camaro meets in the middle of fun, cost and ability to do mods. I am in it for a while.

Anywhere from 5-10 years. Just depends how its holding up and what my financial situation is at that time. Would love to get the 14 Vette and keep this as a daily driver but I doubt I'll be able to afford that anytime soon.

Side note - If the come out with a nice dark green for the Camaro, it will be hard not to trade in.

When I bought mine I planned on keeping it forever, although now I'm not too sure. I had quite a bit of trouble with it under 2k miles and almost traded her in for another one just like her. I even drove the other Camaro over a weekend, but I just couldn't make myself to take a $7k hit so I took it back and waited for them to try and fix Rocki and hoped for the best. She seems to be fine now, except she still idles rougher that I think she should be. At this point I'm holding off on any major mods, I want to make sure she's going to be a keeper. If not, I'll trade her in for a 2015 or another one later on.

Forever. My father in law has a 69 and a 77- he's had a number of pretty awesome cars and whenever we'rat a car show and he sees one he reminisces and says "I wish I never sold it". I don't want to ever have to say that.
I love my Camaro- sure I want new toys, so I'll start saving for a bigger garage and the next ride!

I'd like to say forever but at my age 66, I've only lived half my life so who knows.

Buzman · 07-16-2014, 01:05 PM

I have a 2010 LS that I got in Oct. 2009. I have the bug right now wanting to trade it in, but may wait for the 6th Gen. I'd really like to get a vert v8.

jrhagen · 07-16-2014, 01:13 PM

As long as I have space in the garage and can still use the clutch.

Ambush · 07-16-2014, 01:22 PM

i plan on keeping it around for my kid(s), which aren't made yet.

p3jason · 07-16-2014, 01:25 PM

I'm still driving my 1990 Z24 that I bought new. I figure my Camaro will be with me at least as long.
