Apparently, we've got some time.

Personally, I can't get.."That thing got a Hemi"..out of my head.

I've been thinking about a Mach1 for the past few days, because they are so affordable right now...but I think I'm over it right now.

New cars on my shopping list:

-Looking forward to checking out the new Charger.

-VW R32

-G35 Coupe

-RX8

-Mustang GT (if that live rear axle isn't too crude)

If I go used:

-Jag S-Type R

-BMW 540 six speed, (the old 5...please)

Need a new winter ride (late 90s model). Heading up the list would include a jeep or pickup truck. must have 4x4, v8 is high on the list as well. I need to do alot of research yet but I like the silverados and jeep cherokees.

Summer car, I will use my Z now, and possibly look for a trans am to play with as well in a year or two. A new charger or vette would certainly get looked at, but if a camaro return is official by then, I have no choice but to wait and see how that turns out first.

Well I'm planning on keeping my v6 for a few years and if we get an official date on Camaro's return sometime in the next year or so then I'll wait and buy a v8 5th gen (it would be perfect timing for me also ).

I'll tell you one thing, it won't be a Chevy. Unless it's a used camaro.

I'm looking at the C5's that are for sale down here. Under 30k miles for $25k. And there are alot of them. Probably end up waiting for the C6 to come out first. Throw a heads/cam package at the Vette, and if that gets beat, I bring out the stroked/turbocharged 97 TA.

2006 Cobra, or 2007 Camaro SS. I am also thinking of 2006 c6.

I should be finished with school by summer of 2006, and hopefully will have the finances to afford either one. Till then, i'm not really looking at anything new since i'm barely working 10 hours a week due to a full course load.

I am thinking of trading the F-150 for a WRX or STi though.

- GTO (only with 400HP)
- Charger
- Mustang (only with over 350HP)
- '01+ C5
- '04+ CTS

other considerations
Turbo Solstice
C6 (if I have the money which I probably won't)
used CTSv (if I have the money)

Probably a GTO or a Corvette. Also a chance of a CTS or CTS-V.

But, if I want a normal-priced daily driver car... with RWD and a V8... looks liek my choices are limited to Mustang.... still....
