Anyone else coveting a 2012 Boss 302 or Camaro ZL1?

Post by flipwils11 »

Whether you're a Ford guy or Chevy guy, you gotta give both of these cars credit. I am probably a bit more infatuated with the Boss 302 Laguna Seca, but the ZL1 makes me think illegal thoughts, too.

I am pleased that Detroit is finally on their f'ing game. I have been so loyal to BMW for the last 10 plus years but man, I am sitting up and taking notice. Also my brother in law, also a car snob (owns a Ferrari) let me drive his Cadillac CTS-V wagon last summer and the thrust and exhaust note would make the angels weep.

Neither. Just sell either one, give me the money and I'll put it towards my '70 Charger & '86 GN. :mrgreen:

too big for me, i like my cars small, fast and unsafe.

2+ liter vw type 1 beetle, one wild ride. granted mine can't out run one of those but it feels like it's twice as fast, kinda scary. thats what makes it fun.

My plan is to trade up from my '11 GT to a '13 Boss 302. I was on the hunt for a '12 but I'm glad I waited.

i think the mustangs are getting uglier. 2005-09 were nice, now they're just screwing them up. especially the back end. :?
