If the Camaro had a nice interior and was at least 400 lbs lighter it would be badass.

Yessss! I remember in high scrull, a buddy of mine had a '72 Camaro. That car fueled my car dreams for the longest time.

I wish I could've found one when I myself could finally afford to buy my first car. Instead, I ended up with a '76 Firebird, which was kind of a POS.

I see you guys are talking about the new 2011 sti here.
why havent anyone mention the Lancer Evolution yet?
doesnt the evolution stomp on the sti? (sti understeers)
the evo x has an awesome S-AWC system.( super all wheel control)
sents diff amount of torque to wheels depending on which has the most grip. and its not just front and back, its separated to 4 diff wheels.

the evo x is really mod friendly. ( and cheaper)
a cobb accessport can already give you at least 30-50hp, after that exhaust.

the thing is, you have to get past the interior,
it has awesome recaros, but no height adjustment.

theres 2 transmissions,
a 5spd manual and 6 speed twin clutch automatic( super fast shifts, some say even faster than the m3 automatic)

yeah too bad no 6spd manual but the 5 speed is a lot stronger.

besides it space for 5 people!

YOU CAN PUT THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE IN IT, AND SCARE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THEM WHILE YOU TAKE THOSE TIGHT CORNERS.

i would feel the same as kgreen: i would want to try other brand, having already owned a z. however, it would be easier for me to find a suitable replacement since i am not as picky

dont hate me guys but i went ahead and took the deal on the SS. searched everywhere in this city and found nothing i like and buddy gave it to me at his auction price so it is a damn good deal. my plan is to keep it for about a year since 2011 i will be out of town for work alot so i will be bringin plenty of extra cash then purchase something i really want. everything is out of my range right now since this came in unexpectedly.
