So it's that time to go car shopping In the following months, but what to get...
I'm stuck between a couple vehicles.
2008-2010 335i coupe bmw (not my top choice)
2007-2012 either gt500, boss or GT(5.0) (I love my ford 5.4 triton, this is a top choice) manual trans
2010-2013 camaro SS (special edditions or SS) manual trans

The limit I put on my self is 40k but that's pushing it, so more so 30-35k, used or new.
I like the 335i cause if the twin turbos, it's got some kick, and navi and sun roof, the extra good stuff.
The mustang, the true American muscle car, fast, and loud, it's not much in the extras but its got good sound and its quick and can be modded well.
The camaro SS is quick and has the heads up display which I really like and the look is different and seems more mean and sports like I think. I don't know how many YouTube videos I've watched in the last month and reading trying to decide. So I need do help, hopefully you guys can shine some light on these vehicles for me? Pros, cons? That'd be great.

Thanks you guys!

 

You gotta go with the Mustang. And we want pics!

 

Which one is the truck?



Sorry, no real pros or cons, haven't been in the market for a muscle car for ages. FWIW I'd be torn between the Stang for all you said and the Bimmer because, well it's a Bimmer! I still regret not buying the used and abused but full of potential 69 Fastback when I was a kid in 81

I've ridden in and driven a couple of Camero's and while the owners loved them I couldn't wait to get out.

 

2013 5.0

 

'79 F-150.

Nice problem to have.

I would get the Boss 302.

FWIW, there will be no 2014 model Boss, so the production will just be 2012 - 2013.

 

No Boss yes, but........... there is still a option to get that engine in something else. I think it's called track pack or something.

Of the 3 mentioned, any optioned Mustang would be my pick. The GT 500 is bad *** plus light mods net great results.

 

I am admittedly biased towards the Mustangs. But if you test drive a Camaro, they really are uncomfortable with the bad visibility. I work at a car dealership and drive Camaros multiple times a week and still don't like how they feel, even though they look great! 5.0's and GT500's are just plain badass! And Bosses feel like you're in something truly "special" when you're behind the wheel!

 

I wish this was one of my big problems

The new camaros have terrible visability, at least the convertable does. My girlfreinds mom had one as a rent-a-car and i got to take it for a ride and was terrified i was going to hit something just from lack of sight.

I will always love mustangs, no matter the year

But i think the new dodge challenger just looks bad ***, and would be getting one of those with a hemi given the choice.

 

I like the mustangs but the terminators are really my idea of sex on wheels. The challenger 392 would probably be my choice for a new muscle car. Dodge really did an amazing job on it. I never get tired of seeing them.

 

I was saying that I have a 2000 ford 150 5.4 and I love it, never given me problems, so getting a mustang is one of my top choices, I love the boss 302s, if I can't find a gt500 in a good price range, I could lease but ehh I don't know to much about it, I think I'd go over the milliage.

Are the camaro's really that bad on visibility? I have yet to test drive a camaro, ive ridden in the bimmer and its pretty awesome, I would get like 2008 f350 more so something along the lines with the 7.3 engine, but diesel is so damn expensive.

I'm not a big fan of the challengers, at least not the new ones, I like the chargers but its too heavy. And I don't really need a 4door, is there a light 4 door model? I dunno.

I've looked into Audi s5s but I'm not getting too much power and I want power.

Im a car guy and wish I could just have it all lol so I need lots of help hahah

 

My friend has a camaro. Horrible visibility. The windshield is like 1' high lol. The visors are so small

 

I've decided on 2012 boss 302 if I can find one, if not then 2010 Shelby Gt500 and then if I can't find that, camaro SS or BMW 335i!
Thanks guys! I'll post pics as soon as I get the ride!
Cross your fingers for the boss' 😃

 

Fingers and toes crossed for the Boss, though the Shelby would be fine too. Anything to keep you out of a Camaro

Seriously though, if you haven't driven one (Camero) before, do so before considering it, the fit is... unique. I think it takes just the right stature (shorter than average*) to be comfortable in one. In my experience at least. Those who like them, love them; and others can't stand them.

* which must REALLY make the visibility next to nil, I'm average ht and felt like I was sitting on the floor staring at the sky and cramped into too small a seat

 

My 18 year old friend has a 2013 ZL1 (HATE him!!!) and he had a 2010 SS that his daddy got supercharged before that. The sex coming from the exhaust tips and power on both just barely make up for the visibility. Fingers crossed for the Boss, and then the GT500, both are awesome. Boss definitely still has the awesome factor
