Camaro vs Colorado

For the same money and with the same horsepower, would you choose a V6 Camaro or a V8 Colorado?

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

Tough one...

Depends on if the Colorado's wheels didn't look like pizza cutters like they do now. They appear 6" wide.

No brainer for me. I don't do trucks.

Nearly? I'd say even alittle better than that.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

If I were to go with a truck it would be Silverado. Aside from that the camaro looks cooler and cars have less maintence.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

I've never owned a truck, but I'll go with one here. Who the hell wants a watered down sportscar?

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

Sure the v6 camaro would be quicker, but there is nothing like the feel of a v8 in my opinion.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

A colorado with the I-5 already costs more than 20 grand. Hopefully the V6 camaro doesn't cost as much as a V8 colorado.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

Depends on my financial situation. If I can afford to support two cars, Camaro all the way. Otherwise, I'd be replacing my Cobalt with the Colorado (assuming I have a need to).

I'm also assuming the V8-powered Colorado is not a 2WD, low-to-the-ground SS version, but actually still a capable truck that's made even more so by the extra juice.

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

I think alot of you have missed the part about a "Camaro V6 with the same power as a Colorado V8".

Re: Camaro vs Colorado

I can't see myself buying either one. A V6 Camaro will never make my list, and a V8 Colorado wouldn't cut it doing what I need a truck to do. If it were an SS (2WD and hotted-up) It might be fun to drive but useless as a truck. I voted Colorado simply because of the V8. I wouldn't even consider a Camaro V6 when I know more power is available.
