Just sold my Camaro

[ecniv]

It went to a good home. Now I gotta find something new... Unfortunately the new vehicle is going to have to be fairly practical

Any suggestions? 10k max price.

What was not practical about the Camaro? I only ask so that I can help direct you properly.

I drive 60 or so miles a day, and an LT1 with a cam/heads, high stall torque converter, etc wasn't really much of a commuter car. I don't want something boring to drive, but I need something that's not too much of a pain in the ass.

I'm actually looking at (don't ban me) used BMW M3s.

Re: Just sold my Camaro

If you like the Camaro, but want something with better mileage......How about a Camaro?

Just get a LS1 version with a 6-speed.....My Brothers knocks down 30+ Mpg....And it is fun to drive. BMW's are okay, but they scream homosexual......

Just ask Keith ;D

Re: Just sold my Camaro

Some GN guys talk about the good mileage they get in ratio to horsepower their cars produce.........but the Camaro seems to be the better bargain of today: Give a look on here:

M3's are fun. A kid I know had one for a while. It was very nice to drive. Expensive to maintain, though.

Just tie a big gold bow-tie from a 2500HD to the grill; that will get distract the homophobics.

The auto w/ high stall is what killed the commuter part. I've got a 383 LT1 also with basically no stock parts left, if they came with they have been massaged. But with the 6 speed I get 28 mpg hwy. I've averaged 22 mpg on the last 2 PT's. Just don't get a BMW 2 wheeler as they are the gheyness ;).

Re: Just sold my Camaro

Stock LT1s in F-bodys w/6 speed get great milage and have decent torque for get up and go. I got even better milage than Orange95Z on last year's Power Tour

I had a BMW and they are very expensive to maintain (by the dealer - basic tune up = $200 4 years ago). If you don't go to the dealer you better have a good mechanic who is also likely to be $$$

Prior to mods on my daily driver '05 GTO, the stock LS2 regularly delivered 24 mpg in mix driving with summer formula gas

X1000 for the LS1 6-spd car. Look for a 99 or later with mid-range miles.
