will you give up your 4th gen for the concept?

I know allot of you have put allot of time and money into your 4th gens. I was just wondering how many will give up their F-Body for the concept. For agruments sake lets just say this:


The concept IS the production car, down to the interoir and engine bay.

The concept cost $27,000 with the 400hp LS2 will you trade/sell your F-Body for it?


Everyday i'm starting to lean more towards getting an original 1969 Z/28.. Once i get a garage of couse..

nope... keeping them both

I love auto x and from what I can tell, the 4th gen will kill the concept in autox. The 4th gen is smaller and lighter which is very important in autox. The 5th gen does scream drag car.

Yep. Mine's only a 6 and looking to upgrade. It will definetly go...

My girlfriend would kill me....
I'm not getting rid of my '78 either

Because it is looking like the 5th Gen won't be available with T-tops, I am going to keep my SS as long as it is still in good shape by the time the new car comes out, and then I'll also pick up a new one....

I will keep my 4th Gen in addition to getting a new Challenger.

I already have :D

I'll keep my 2nd Gen and sell my Bullitt Mustang for it!!

Mines long gone.............

:D

That has always been my plan, sell the 1995 Z/28 when the next Z/28 comes out and keep one of my 1967's for my play thing. ;) (Question: If I sell my 95 will I need to change my screen name? :p )

Everyday i'm starting to lean more towards getting an original 1969 Z/28.. Once i get a garage of couse..

FWIW, a "real" Z/28 will set you back 2-3 times that theoretical price of $27K for the 5th gen. :D

With the concept interior? Honestly, I'd pass..

I don't think I'd ever trade my F-body but who knows.

Ideally, I'd like to keep my SS. But if I had to choose, I'm leaning towards the concept.

I've got 2 offers for the SS already. :)

mines past the point of "good trade-in value". dealers don't give much around here for modded cars.



in short, it stays! :D

As much as I'd like to keep the '01 around, I can't afford to keep it AND get a new one, so it would go to make room for the 5th Gen.

The 5th gen will be my daily and no way I'm ever dumping my 4th gen.

I think I'll always keep my 4th gen. Too much blood, sweat and heart went into all the mods, and taking such good care of it since I bought it new in '97.

If I did get the new Camaro, I'll have to find more space in the garage. :)

I'd LIKE to have both (that's what I voted ;)). Just on principle, I'd like to keep my '02 forever (since it's the last of a breed, and I've had it since new).

When the new Camaro comes out and I see it / drive it, then I'll decide what's REALLY going to happen ;). The problem I foresee is that the '02 won't be worth much by then anyways :rolleyes: (trade-in or private sale).

Ideally, I'd like to keep my SS. But if I had to choose, I'm leaning towards the concept.

I've got 2 offers for the SS already. :)

:( I just went out to the garage to start the SS...I can't sell her. I've done too much with her, and she hasn't given me one, single problem.

I'll have to figure out a way o own 2 Camaro's. ;)

I would love to have both, but it looks like I wont be able to afford both of them at the same time. If by some miracle I can pay off the 02 by then I will definatly keep it, but as it stands I wont be out from under it until Oct 2008...which puts it into reach depending on price. Hmmm, we will just have to wait and see.

I'll probably keep the 4th gen and buy the 5th gen when it is available.

I plan to keep my Z28 and buy a new one. If it came down to keeping mine and not getting a new one, though, I'd have to keep mine and forsake the new one. T-tops are a big deal to me, and the car has a lot of sentimental value to me. I'll have had it 5 years next month, and plan to keep it indefinitely. That car and I have been through a lot, and its almost like family.

However, in 2 more years I hope to have the means to buy a new one...I'd love to, and I think I'll be able to.

My plan is to sell my Corvette and replace it with a new Camaro for a daily driver. My IROC will retain it's place in the garage.

No way, I love my 95 way too much. :cool:


If I get a 09 or 10 (God that looks weird) :lol: Camaro it will be taking the other spot in the garage. :D

I have a Firebird.

The Camaro would have to be the greatest thing since sliced bread for me to jump ship. If I went Chevy it would probably be for the Corvette :)

I've invested too much time and money into my 4th gen. I will keep it as my race car and use the 5th gen as my daily driver.

I love auto x and from what I can tell, the 4th gen will kill the concept in autox. The 4th gen is smaller and lighter which is very important in autox. The 5th gen does scream drag car.

My exact plan :thumb:

My 99 V6 should easily last another 8 years or so. I had an 84 V6 Firebird for 15 years, so my present car should also last that long. It's been trouble-free since new, except for the popup headlight motors.

By the time I am ready for a new car, this new concept Camaro will most likely be out of production.

I don't like the retro concept, the front end looks too much like a brick.

Well, I havent had much luck with my 4th Gen. I really havent gotten that attached to it b/c of the luck I have had. That 5th Gen looks sweet. I would probably wait until the 2nd year of production, maybe the 3rd, but by then, I really would have to see if I could afford a Vette. If not, the camaro would be 2nd on the list.

That has always been my plan, sell the 1995 Z/28 when the next Z/28 comes out and keep one of my 1967's for my play thing. ;) (Question: If I sell my 95 will I need to change my screen name? :p )



FWIW, a "real" Z/28 will set you back 2-3 times that theoretical price of $27K for the 5th gen. :D

Well I should of clarified my statement to " any 1967-69 Camaro "

Check out this bad boy with a 427 in for $25,000

I hear ya about the 'brick look'... and without t-tops, I'm even less interested. I'm not a baby-boomer trying to relive his glory days (those days were over before I was born), and the 5th gen concept doesnt quite do it for me. I'll likely stick with my 'door-stop' nosed 4th gen.

If market research indicates that the new Camaro will do well, I think GM should go ahead and do it. Then, several years later, when the retro craze has died down, and the Camaro is redesigned into a sleeker, more versatile package, I may have to buy one (6th gen?)... specifically a loaded metallic blue Z28 with t-tops. :)

I love my 4th gen and given what work I'm about to put into and the fact that my nephew loves the car because it first belonged to his dad,there is no way I'd get rid of my 4th.I'm just going to save up my money and buy me a 5th gen.

Hell no . Im building my 4th gen Z right now from the gound up . For me , since Im doing everything my way and Im building everything myself , it will be perfection and a car I will have forever ....and more a street/strip car with a little more empahasis on strip :) The new Camaro will replace my Cobalt SS as a daily driver in the spring/summer/fall months .

I have a 3rd gen 1991 Z28 that i will never sell, it would kill me to see some idiot drive it into the ground or street pole.
I would buy the new Camaro and keep them both....then when i win the lottery:rolleyes: I will buy more Z28's and build a big building to house my new babies

How did I know "I'll have both" would be the most popular answer here.

In reality I bet most that don't have a major attachment to their current car (like it was your dead father's baby when he owned it something) will sell off or trade in their 4thgen for monetary reasons.

I would personally like to keep my 94 (or whatever Camaro I have at the time, wouldn't mind upgrading to a LS1 before 09), not because I'm so crazy in love with the T-tops or something similarly ridiculous, but because I'd like to have a second car for backup and to play around with more than my brand spankin' new ride. One of the annoyances I run into alot now is I can't do a cam swap or whatever to my car because I have to drive it to work or school all damn year round. I can't have the downtime and potential problems with my main ride. To have a second car, especially a second Camaro to drive opens up options. If I can't afford to get the new one without selling then so be it. Course most of these rides will be worth peanuts in 09, but they'll still bring enough to be a decent downpayment on a new car...

If they build a Z28 with a 427 for under 40k then I might consider letting my Z go. Once my truck is paid off I "may" be able to afford to get one and keep the Z to.

I'll be keepinng all three. And one day it will be all five. :cool:

Now I need to find some acreage to build a nice garage on to house them all.

Yeah, what he said.

If I had an LS1 Z28 or SS, possibly. But I have an LS1 WS6, so no. :cool:

I have a feeling that my Z28 will be around for a long time...Unless of course someone offers me enough money for it :shrug: I voted that I'll have to see/drive the new Camaro before I decide, but I have a feeling that the next car I buy will be a much greater jump in performance than the new Camaro will probably offer....Hopefully a low miles C5 Z06 or C6 or if I'm rich by then a C6 Z06...

Keeping my SS! and can't wait to get a New 5th Gen!:thumb:

Of course not. Would you give up at first born child after a couple years you supported, cared for, raised and invested in? No.....not usually.

Both my 98 and 69 have to be sold for downpayment on a house regaurdless. my 98 3800 has 245000 miles on it leaks transmission fluid. Its got FlowMaster American thunder dual exhaust though I think somethings wrong with the cat. I dont even know what its worth

My 69 is numbers match engine 350 2bbl 3spd auto with 85000mi Prob not orig. I paid 8G for. The pass floor board and trunk are rusted and it really needs someone to restore it. Was one of those deals where I wanted one badly but couldnt afford the 15G Car that needs nothing.

plan is hopefully sell both get a house and buy the 5th gen(if its like the concept) as long as Im not being unrealistic.

Keeping both, can't hardly find last year IROC's anymore. Plus, I have 2 young boys who would smother me in my sleep if I did...:D
(edit: oops, 3rd gens count?...)

How about my 3rd gen? :D

I've got a 99 Hugger Orange SS and there's no way I'm getting rid of that car. I'll probably wind up with a 5th gen but not when they first come out.

I hope to keep my 4th if I am financially able. But if selling it is what it takes to buy a new one thats what I will do. I will have a new one!

Yes I will keep my 4th gen and get a new one also for several reasons.
One it is paid for and they would not give me on a trade what it is worth to me as a fun car for a daily driver. The new camaro is the first one in many years I wanted one at first look.

Keeping both, can't hardly find last year IROC's anymore.

We've contemplated having to let our '90 5.7 IROC go to make room for a 5th gen Camaro. It's tough, because it really doesn't have a lot of value now, but might in the future, and it's a nice, solid car. We're the 2nd owner and the guy before us took exceptional care of it. When it comes down to it, I don't know if I'll be able to let it go.

IMO, my 99 Z28, which is paid off, is worth more to me than its resale value. So it doesn't make sense for me to sell it off... Also, it makes a good mod and track car, cause I don't have to relatively worry about it $ wise.

I only have space for one car in the garage though.. so I'm not sure how that would shake out..

Also, I'm kinda like not having any car payments.. heh.. so it depends.. If the 5th gen is a real stunner lke the concept, I'll probably bite..
