New Car...

Ok, so pretty soon, I will be in the market for a new car, Im thinking about possibly selling the Camaro, or keeping it as a side project with the TA. Not completely sure what to do with it yet. I had my eye on the new 2010 Camaro 1-SS, but its a lil too pricy and Im not likin the markups that the dealerships are doing. I test drove the new 2010 Mustang GT after my friend bought his, I liked the price, and pretty much everything else about it. I was thinking about a used Cadillac CTS-V, like 06 or 07. The most I am willing to spend is about $30,000. If you guys have any suggestions, feel free to chime in.

Keep one project because 2 never work out unless ur stanky rich. I would get the mustang gt but it would have to be a five speed.

If you like the looks of the GT go for it...however the performance is putrid compared to other vehicles in that price range. I'd spring for a V6 Camaro or a G8 GT before even thinking of a Mustang GT...slooooooow garbage.

ya i was just using the #'s from car and driver, the gt w/ track pack was a couple hundred more than a m6 1ss....but your right mark ups are crazy, its like they are only making 1000 of them or something lol

I like the looks of the G8 GT, but i dont know the performance because the dealership I went to didnt even have one available for a test drive, so i dont even know the performance, I do like the style of the new mustang, better than the last, and it feels rock solid, it sounds great, like i said before, the clutch feels good, and it glides into gear. the used CTS-V i was looking at is 21,000 its black on black, the used dealer i went to wouldnt let me test drive for "insurance" reasons. so idk about that, the musang is honestly looking like a legit car

what you could do is buy a used g8 with <10k on the clock for like 24/25...then buy the full kooks system/tune/intake and bam 12 second dd for under 30k...but if you want a stick then disregard this post lol
