zeitgeist57 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 DO NOT BUY A NEW CAMARO!!! Actually, I wouldn't buy any new car if you gave me a 10-year, 0% loan. Depreciation is a bitch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 300whp in a 4WD WRX is a hair faster than my GTI.. which is not fast at all. In what magical world do you reside ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Since you love awd so much and always talk about how great it is in ohio winters ect, why not just keep the wrx? Im sure its paid off its been paid off ages ago im mean shit its an 2003. save up a buy another car of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the camaro because its the camaro. how come you never did anything else with it ? and why only 300? from your old post you seem to be a lover of drag racing then now all about auto x/ rally type racing? why not make a 500 hp car then?

boosted98gst Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 If its so easy to make 500whp daily for 5k wrx how come there are not more of them? Its so easy to see they are not as easy to mod or take mods well as some cars, because at the dsm vs subi shootout at norwalk every subi gets murdered.

And the stock vw turbo has already went 12's Either way like Rob said.If you havnt droped a ton into the Subie in mods already you wont like paying for all the high end mods for the Camaro, That camaro is fuckin fail fat as a pig. Get a C5zo6 for way less heads cam = Roll, dig, and track it till your foot hurts and you cant shift anymore.

This is what I dont understand from the 1.8t guys, YOU ONLY HAVE TO PAY FOR 1 TURBO AND you dont have to pull the motor. I didnt go gt28 because it requires rods and I dont feel like taking the engine apart, so if thats the case in 1.8t's as well, atleast do k04 man. or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 35r was on my car for 20k miles before I cut into the motor. Its the tune and how you can observe your limit. It made 320whp all day. Not 28rs can do that unless its on full tilt and race gas.

Draco-REX Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Don't do it.. AT least for the 2010. First year cars are always a disappointment when compared to the subsequent years. Personally, I'd rather a turbo Subaru to a Camaro. But I know that doesn't hold true for everyone. I think your basic problem is that you haven't figured out what you want to do with your car. Nail that down and all of your decisions will be clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
