thinking about coming back
 
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?

dondo 07-10-2009 11:28 PM

new camaro cause they're awesome. get the ss though

tunerwannab 07-10-2009 11:30 PM

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.

Are-Ex-Eight 07-10-2009 11:30 PM

IMO the camaro sucks and nothing drives like an 8

judds05 07-10-2009 11:32 PM

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

Darkpoison187 07-10-2009 11:32 PM

can you do a used 8 and one of the others?

judds05 07-10-2009 11:36 PM

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.

judds05 07-10-2009 11:43 PM

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

dondo 07-10-2009 11:51 PM

you're getting 50k? you can do a whole lot better than either of those cars imo

swoope 07-10-2009 11:53 PM

you sig says you own an rx8.

so you point is pretty much useless..

i would go with the trans am.. the black one with the gold chicken on the hood..

amf.

beers :beer:

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.

judds05 07-10-2009 11:56 PM

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.

rx8thunder 07-11-2009 12:18 AM

Get an 8. Stay away from GM crap.

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

04RX8man 07-11-2009 09:52 AM

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

Spoolin8 07-11-2009 09:55 AM

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

Hidef1080 07-11-2009 11:16 AM

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....

CarAndDriver 07-11-2009 07:03 PM

What are you driving now?

pdxhak 07-11-2009 07:41 PM

Be smart and invest the majority of the money.

Transam kid 01 07-11-2009 08:00 PM

it would depend on how much money.

Marklar 07-11-2009 08:21 PM

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).

deadphoenix52 07-11-2009 09:28 PM

get the camaro cuz theyre freaking awesome!!!

rodjonathan 07-11-2009 10:05 PM

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.

carbonRX8 07-11-2009 10:19 PM

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

judds05 07-11-2009 10:44 PM

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.
