What would you buy right now if the Gen 6 never existed?

The current shortage of camaros kinda just has me curious of what everyone else would get right now that are within the same year and price range as I notice challengers, mustangs, and hell even corvettes are still plentiful. Dealership near me has 10 c7’s available and yet only 1 2018 SS.

Same here. I'd probably buy the 400z. Starting base price is supposed to be in the 39-40k range and performance 0-60 and 1/4 mile are said to be similar to the SS and GT.


If I still had my 2012 Mustang GT I'd give the 400z a serious look. With the shortage and all it might be the better option. It's a head turner the way it looks.

I've always had a soft spot for imports even had a Gst Eclipse before I even bought anything American. If I wasn't buying new I'd hunt for a 95 or above Rx7 as it's one of my favorite sounding cars ever.

The Scatpack/392 is a sexy car and performs good but the engine tick scares the sh*t out of me.



I'd probably go with the Mustang too or 400z. At least the Mustang has a ton of aftermarket stuff I could customize to where I want it.

C7 prices have skyrocketed due to the shortage as well, especially the latter years. For what some go for I'd save the money and order a C8 later in the year when the chip shortage dies down.


IMO I would go for the C6 like a 2009. You can find low mile ones under 40,000 miles. Get it and cam it or throw on a super charger.


Or even get a older, used ZO6.
