I don’t know if aliens exist, but I was with 8 other guys on a fishing trip in Canada when we all saw this: I know it is a terrible pic but it was oblong and looked like a missile - no wings, no sound, no vapor trail. We were up where there are very few people. We were all in various boats around the lake and all saw it. We are convinced, after research, it is the “Solar Warden”. Interesting reading if you have never heard of it. Who knows, but it was fun to talk abou... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I had to laugh - my wife hates the Vector Blue ATSV I have in my sights because she is scarred from a blue Windstar mini van we bought when we first got married. I love the color of my Camaro but I have found it difficult to find appearance mods in colors that work other than black. For example, when I had the calipers powder coated I struggled finding the right color and am still not satisfied I picked the right color to be honest.

There are some cars (I.e. Corvette) that look good in a white or a light color as the spoilers, vents, and ducts are a dark color. I usually lean towards flashy colors but there is something about a q ship in a light silver or beige that is exciting knowing Johnnie Law will not bother you.

Never mind - it is at a dealer. That should be the basis of your negotiation though - “Why would I pay that if new is xx”?

That’s because the guy selling it used owes $37,900

Dodge’s “Battleship Gray” is similar and equally bad ass Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I am actually going through this dilemma right now - I have my eye on a Vector Blue ATSV or a Slipstream blue Chevrolet SS - I love the colors now, but will I in 2 or 3 years?

My favorite thing about my 2010 MS3 was the color - Velocity red

Did you notice the hood exit exhaust? Don’t miss the welds at the base of the pipes that exit the hood...

Maybe the jankiest turbo install I have seen in a while... https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/6511252064.html

Also, the cost will vary widely depending on the size/manner of cam. You will need a tune for just about any aftermarket cam to operate effectively (don’t forget that cost) and you may need gears/torque converter if you go much more aggressive than stock.

Obviously you would want the intake and exhaust upgrades to take full advantage but the stock pieces are not bad. For “the sound”, I think you will likely be disappointed without longtubes - they make a huge difference.

It is easy to see how the Challenger is beating/keeping pace with the Mustang and Camaro even though they are both much newer designs. It used to be people flocked to the newest “coupe design” but Dodge found their niche and they are hammering it.

I would think a Mustang or Camaro would fit here. Even if you had to go V6 they are nothing to be ashamed of.

First car i thought of. I actually saw a convertible one for sale last week and had to think hmmmmm...

I have a good idea what it is worth. On the cash offer I suspect they will use the mods to not honor the offer when I take it in for inspection. I will probably list it for 21-22k. Trade-in is 17-18k. It is hard to get comparable sales on a vert with the 6 speed. There are very few of them changing hands. When I bought it 4 years ago there were 6 for sale in the whole country.

I am guessing no dealer will want the Camaro due to the mods. It is a 2011 with only 26k miles and is close to showroom. It will be marketable as a convertible going into spring but I am sure the big cam might scare a dealer off

My last 3: gave to daughter, had it totaled by texting teen coming left of center, and gave to daughter...

:-) I am ready for the “do you take bitcoin?” Message

Have not decided but know I want to sell the Camaro first. I do know it will be a sport sedan with a beater truck to follow. If I get impatient it will likely be an SS or S4. If I am willing to wait for what I really want it will be an ATSV.

I totally see why most people just trade them in Thanks for the FB suggestion - had not thought of that.

So where do you guys go to sell a car these days? eBay? Autotrader? I know it depends on what you are selling so, for this purpose, it would be my Camaro. I won’t do Craigslist most likely due to scammers. I sold the TA quickly and painlessly on ebay but that was a while ago. I could post it on Camaro 5 but it does not look like there is much traffic there anymore. Any other options?

Hence why you should NOT buy one of these new!

Cool thanks - great info. It would be hard for me to pull the trigger as well for the same reason.
