GearJamr Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 So, you're looking for a new car with V8 and a manual transmission.....not many choices! Camaro 1SS 1LE or Mustang GT w/ handling package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZJonny Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Camaro is being discontinued, so maybe last year on the chassis will hold value longer? Besides the insanity of aftermarket parts for the LS versus any other V8 platform that exists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearJamr Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 I was very much enamoured with my LS1 Z28. Had it for 17 years. The new ones are not LS platform anymore. The 6.2L is an LT1 or LT4, again same as the Vette. Bringing the Camaro back as an electric is blasphemy. Just as much as a Corvette SUV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZJonny Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Should’ve done my research. I was under the impression still that there is some crossover on aftermarket parts between and LS and LT, but that’s a bit irrelevant. I’d personally go for the Camaro anyway, but that’s coming down to taste in the end. Never driven a modern version of either. If you get one, can I go for a drive along?

GearJamr Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Sure thing. Not sure if it'll happen soon since the UAW is hell bent on striking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZJonny Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Seems that way, yeah. I’m in one of the remaining cities that still has an automotive manufacturing presence, so we’ll see how that goes. Either choice will be great I’m sure. Both very capable V8s. Getting tired of turbo AWD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearJamr Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 Every change on a turbo requires tuning. Gets tiresome having to baby the car across town to the tuner, not to mention pricey. I definitely prefer a naturally aspirated rumbly powerplant.
