sayhuh? Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'd say the Shelby by all means. The Camaro looks great and all, but the power and weight is where you lose me. Dodge...well, I'm not a big fan. I can't get past the looks, sorry. After it is all said and done, the Shelby will hold more value in the long run, since it is a numbers made car...meaning less made than the others. (about 10k per year, if that) Quote Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_skillz81 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 thanks for the input guys and, yes, pleaase keep in mind that we are after a pre-owned car, low-milage and certified is preferred, but it has to be at least 3 years old to get it through customs this may be a problem wit the SS as it's a 2010 so I have do some research with carfax to seee if there are any cars with suitable build dates So far it seems that the Shelby has the edge here.....how awesome is the handling? any comparison to bimmers? it also wins slightly in customs fees - the 5.4 is around 28k, where as the 6.2 is 32 but we also have a nasty horsepower based road which is closer to 2.5k a year on a 540hp anyone think ths SS + bolt on supercharger = 550hp or so would match the shelby? or will that just widen the handling and brakin gap (if there is one) Quote 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 - Deep Orange Build log - Blowthrought with 4 18's http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/122600-4-18s-in-a-dodge-ram-team-sundown-russia/ Sundown Audio SAX125.2 - Sundown PA 10" Shok-wiring & RCA's XS Power D6500 Mechman 320A Sundown Audio Russia http://sundownaudio....dex.php?/index http://www.drive2.ru...ram/ram/skillz/ - more about my truck http://www.youtube.com/user/Gskillz81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayhuh? Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Umm SS with cam, intake and exhaust, chip (anything to open it up some) would be right there with the Shelby. The SS motor is no joke and I love Chevy for that, but to add a blower too...yea, hands down, SS. I'm sure I will get knocked for this, but it is true. Small upgrades will open up the SS and make it come alive. Youtube vids of them doing this are available. Like I said, the biggest reason to import the GT500 vs others is the overall future value. THe SS motor is sick though. Quote Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_skillz81 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Anyone know when production actually started for 2010 Cmaros? I'm looking at CarFax reports and the build date isn't in there (I thought it would be for some reason).... can i get the build month\year from the VIN? just not looking forward to calling up on every single car and asking the sales guy to look at the tag Quote 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 - Deep Orange Build log - Blowthrought with 4 18's http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/122600-4-18s-in-a-dodge-ram-team-sundown-russia/ Sundown Audio SAX125.2 - Sundown PA 10" Shok-wiring & RCA's XS Power D6500 Mechman 320A Sundown Audio Russia http://sundownaudio....dex.php?/index http://www.drive2.ru...ram/ram/skillz/ - more about my truck http://www.youtube.com/user/Gskillz81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 You've overlooked the 6.0 powered Pontiac GTO's. Same powerplant as the Camaro(basically) and tons of aftermarket go-fast goodies for it. They will fit your "older" status for customs purposes as they are 05 and 06's. A lot more rare than the other cars you mentioned as they no longer make them. Will be more of a collector in the future than a GT mustang or SS Camaro. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayhuh? Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Camaro went on sell in the Spring of 09, but I think they were listed as 2010s. So, production date will be 09, while actual date of car was 2010...if that makes sense? Quote Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
