Well, as much as the Camaro is one of my favorite cars since childhood, the Corvette is what made me actually take notice of cars, hence Im a Vette-boy for life (even though the Camaro is a close second:D ) so I have to go for the Z06

TWO Camaros :cool:


In reality, I'd probably get a loaded Camaro and a Wrangler or H3 for the winter.

I'd love a Z06, but I kind of want a back seat...so I'd buy the top of the line, no holds barred Camaro and spend whatever $$ is leftover in go-fast-goodies.

I'd buy a Camaro, a used WRX (for winter!), and use the rest for a down payment on a C6 Z51.

I'd buy the Camaro and then put the rest towards a down payment on a house with a nice garage to store said Camaro.:D

If this $80,000 was specifically for use towards a car, I would buy a Corvette as the toy, and a Cadillac STS as the daily driver. Probably both being navy blue.....not that I've thought this through or anything. :cool:

Id spend 30K on a Z28, another 20k souping it up, and making it bad ass.

Then i would take the remaining 30k and buy an SUV for the winter.

This is a tough one. I am torn between a Z06 and a standard C6 taken up to Decatur, IN to Lingenfelter and let them have some fun with it. :eek: :D

First choice would be a Camaro Z/28 in blue - if the production car stays close to the concept but has a modern interior and doesn't weigh more than 3600 lbs when optioned the way I want it. Otherwise it would be a Z06 for me.

Buy a Camaro and convert it into a Firebird ;)

But more likely Corvette, or build a 4th Gen Firebird. Maybe a Corvette and a GTO.

A loaded ZL1 or Z28 Camaro and a Hummer H3T pickup

A wrecked Camaro, and build a racecar with some of the money followed by a down payment on a tow pig...

Already decided: An '07 C6, Monty Red, Ebony interior, polished wheels, 2LT option group, F55 suspension. Plus a used pickup for those Home Depot/Lowes runs. That would leave plenty left over from an $80K wad.

I'd get a slightly used (or try to work a great deal since they are borderline $85-95k new) Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo. RWD too, not the AWD.

Drove a Porsche once, it was a 1991 911 and that was 5 years ago...... I'll go to my grave dying to own one if I can never afford one. Since the guy let me really drive it, I learned how to steer a car with the gas pedal. I never thought oversteer could be such a beautiful thing.

You can deduct the interest paid on a mortage from your taxes not so on a car. I would pay for the Camaro with said money since the interest on it is not deductible then use the rest to buy down the mortgage.

I would buy two Camaros, one to store as a collectors item, and one to toy around with. The rest of the money would be used towards Cobalt SS as a daily driver. The real question though is how the hell am I gonna get 80 grand, the most I ever win off the scratch&wins is 10 bucks.

If I had 80k... Im not sure if i would go dodge viper.... or get myself a camaro, a X-treem (chevies awd s10) and then a 67 firebird for my mom....

One Camaro, and the rest towards a midsized truck since the Camaro isn't very useful when you own a house...

S10 Xtreme's weren't AWD. AWD wasn't even available on them.

Or is 'X-treem' NOT a misspelling of Xtreme? I've never heard of an 'X-treem' so I could be mistaken.

I did really like my '00 Extended Cab Xtreme when I had it though. Wish I'd kept the damn thing now that I own a house.

Oh, for real? I was mistaken then. My apologys, my friends must have been very much mistaken.

I think you mean a Syclone.

JakeRobb

S10: 2wd small pickup truck, 2.4L(?) I4 or 4.3L V6 engine.

S10 4x4: same as s10, but 4wd

S10 ZR2: same as 4x4 with off-road suspension and tires

S10 Extreme: 2wd with 4.3L V6 and lowered street suspension.

Syclone: S10 pickup, 4wd, 4.3L V6 turbo ('91-93 only)

There were Blazer equivalents to all of the above. The turbo version was called the Typhoon and was not available until '92.

So STEEL, which one did you mean?

STEEL
10-19-2006, 01:21 PM
I was told the S10 Extrere was a AWD pickup and that sounded cool.... Since that was not correct (which explains why i couldnt find one on Autotrader) I want a Syclone
