I dont like white but atleast its a v8.

**John_stout** · 03-15-2008, 02:49 PM

Yea its a personal preferance I guess...

Should I get a z28, ta, or formula?

**ibanez7** · 03-15-2008, 02:54 PM

z28, cleaner body... white looks good if you black out everything else.

**John_stout** · 03-15-2008, 02:56 PM

Ok thanks...

As for blacking it out should I get the z06 wheels and get them powder coated black?

I have black torque thrust II m by amerian racing, (see my avatar) or this link

I would suggest the wheels I have or yes any year z06 would look great in black on a white camaro.

google search for tomzwheels, he sells z06 wheels in black, for cheap

in regards to the car you are looking at, I do feel the price is high. I would talk it down.

then again the pricing in OK could be different here (IL)

Hell if I could save some money I will drive anywhere. LOL

First off.. congratulations!

..and as for the question: get whichever one you like the looks of the best. They are all great cars and it's mainly personal preference here.

When I was car shopping an m6, WS6 was my first choice, and I wanted to find a Pewter one (!). My second choice was an m6, SS Camaro.

Whatever you end up with, I can almost bet you'll be smiling ear to ear when you start it up the first time.

LOL The day I got my car I had the 'grins'. I couldn't stop smiling. Made it even better when I took it on the 30 minute drive across town on the interstate back to my apartment and an older couple in an old Vette pulled up beside me and the wife (I presume) gave me a thumbs up (I guess they say the temp. tag lol) on the purchase. Was funny, was like something out of a commercial.

overpriced

**67CamaroRSSS** · 03-15-2008, 05:12 PM

The only thing I don't like about white cars is the fact that they look dirty 30 minutes after you're done cleaning them. Same with Black and my NBM car. IMHO, Pewter and Silver show dirt the least. I've had cars that have been Black, White and Silver (among other colors). That's why my next car will be Silver even though it's not my favorite.

**9t8z28** · 03-15-2008, 05:13 PM

It looks good! Talk em' down to 7K!

Way over priced..but i'm sure you can talk him down. I paid less then that several years ago for my 2000 Z with way less then 108k miles...and it was loaded.

**CJREX** · 03-15-2008, 05:38 PM

Just a quick note, if you plan to mod, get an '01 or '02 since they have the LS6 intake.

They also have the truck cam so power is about equal with the earlier models, but if you plan on modding an aftermarket cam is likely in your future.

And you'll already have the intake for it!

You're going to like it, but your friends with the 4 cylinders are NOT

white can be sexy as fuck... DO IT!
