I may be coming into some money soon and have a choice. Rx8 or trans am or new camaro.
I have to admit I miss the sexiness of the rx8, but I also miss the raw power of the trans am,
But, I love the look of the new camaro. What would you do and why?

I would buy a bus pass before I drove a trans am. Get the SS camaro or a used 8 and put something major in it.

IMO the camaro sucks and nothing drives like an 8

Of course. What else is there, but I can get a hell of a deal on a rx8.

I don't think so because of insurance and I allreay have 2 cars. I should add that the money is not a whole lot
Around 50k. I can get a 06 (I think) grand touring for 12k.

Sorry, but the trans am is a hell of a car. Don't knock em unless you have owned
One.

I have driven them and don't like them. I do not like most camaros other than 67-69 and the brand new ones. Have driven those also. But it is your money so get whatever you like. What do you drive now?

If I got 50k I would be debt free and have a new streetbike or some jet skis. But that is me.

Well, I wouldn't mind saving a little for mods and other things (new gun maybe). Out of all the cars that I have driven,
The 8 and the t/a seem to be the most bang for buck. That is to include its looks, power, and interior.
I don't own a rx8 any more.

Now that you mention it I would probably buy a few new guns also.

I"d go an 8 with a blown motor and drop a 20B in it but that's just me!...or an FD for that matter

take the 50k and save/invest it and be patient for a year or two.

Of those three I'd go 8.

I saw a new SS on the road yesterday and it was bigger than I thought it would be.
Not my cup of tea but....

Be smart and invest the majority of the money.

Do you really want to give up the handling?

The 370Z. Or if you have enough, the Cayman S. Or hold out hope for a 16X sometime soon (might have to wait a while though).

man i have a 2010 camaro 2ss/rs out the door was right at 40 ish i got a discount coz of sth gm did to me a while back and i absolutely love it i did keep the 8 coz i love it too but the power in the camaro for the price is amazing PLUs ive dropped it and stiffened it a little and it handles pretty dam good for a car that heavy and big. trust me you wont be disappointed. honestly my family has 7 gm vehicles ranging from a new malibu to an escalade and we love em all i really dont think gm is bad plus the camaro is really hot.

If you already have two cars, stash the $, brah. Keep 10-15% liquid and go to town on one of the cars you own.

Wouldn't want to mod what I got. The 50k is after paying off bills and
Saving what I want. Thanks for all the posts guys. Still not sure but we will
See what happens and what I can find. Again, thanks.

The Camaro is based upon the Pontac G8 GT platform.

It is 2 " shorter.

The car handles real well. GM has come a long way.........

If your job is safe.. by da Camaro V8

^ yup its unbelievable! my dads daily driver is a g8 gxp and that thing is incredible! and yeah the camaro is based on that plus if you do some research its made on the holden platform that gm has been using in australia and in saudi arabia where i was a 5 years ago we had caprice/impala ss's and they were truly amazing its awesome trust me i have the 8 and camaro love the 8 but the camaro is a differnt machine

^ sorry to burst it to you bro but the c63 is a whole new car the m3 is still running for 3 years now so reliability cant be compared really just yet and i owned a 04 m3 before i crashed it and had no trouble with it what so ever. juss my opinion.

on the other hand i would pick the c63 juss coz iss more powerful and more aggressive looking the bmw isnt that much different from a 3 series and too close to the 335 (which i own) and ive almost beaten an m3 and dee dub has beaten one so i bet its possible

man i have a 2010 camaro 2ss/rs out the door was right at 40 ish i got a discount coz of sth gm did to me a while back and i absolutely love it i did keep the 8 coz i love it too but the power in the camaro for the price is amazing PLUs ive dropped it and stiffened it a little and it handles pretty dam good for a car that heavy and big. trust me you wont be disappointed. honestly my family has 7 gm vehicles ranging from a new malibu to an escalade and we love em all i really dont think gm is bad plus the camaro is really hot.

So you have an M3, 335i, RX-8, and now you are saying you have a 2010 Camaro?

All this from someone who thinks the M3 isn't much different from a 3 series and doesn't have a basic grasp on the English language?

I call bullshit.

If you have extra money you want to blow, and love power, 20B RX-8.
