Smile 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?

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.
