You seem profoundly frustrated at having made a poor purchasing decision.

More like frustrated with poor choices available to purchasers, they need to build some real cars that aren't priced in nosebleed territory, then I wouldn't have to settle for best of the worst.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the ideal car for you. What I am asking is what would be the perfect price, power, weight, and overall features that would make the realistic purchase for you.

Build me another GM vehicle with 2/4 doors, 3400-3500lbs, with an LS1 or LS3,6 speed, for mid to high $30K's. With Leather, a decent stereo, and paint that stays on the car. You know, unlike the Sherman Tank Transformer Camaro, that looks like a Mullet Mobile. I would actually take a BMW 135is if they were $8000 cheaper, which would make sense, since the BMW 1 Series M Coupe was a better vehicle in the same price range, but BMW decided to charge way too much for the 135is.

So you basically want a 2 or 4-door, 4-passenger Corvette, that only weighs 200lbs more than a regular Corvette, and costs $12-15K less than a regular Corvette. Good luck.

And when was the last time one of those were sold?
But we're not talking about LS1-powered ponycars. We're talking about your ideal car with all of those specs that you listed. |

Doesn't make much difference, I said goodbye to GM for good when Pontiac got chopped, and the Camaro showed up looking so ridiculous. This from a longtime GM guy, who's favorite car of all time is a 1969 Z28/RS. Going to have to live with this WRX at least one more year, might end up with a 2014 Mustang GT Premium with the track package next, not sure yet though. I have no interest in these concept Mustangs so far, too radical a change for me.

Your fave car is a 69 z28? Out of all the cars ever, THAT's what you choose?
Even your dreams are lame... |

Like I said, already looking at trading this time next year, probably a new GT Premium with track pack unless something better shows up on the market. Not sure the econobox world is worth all the headaches.

But my point was that a "dream" car to ME is something a lot cooler than an everyman muscle car. If you were a dreamer for the 60's, You could have said GT40 and that would be an American dream. Perhaps an Aston Martin DB4 Zagato as your English dream, or a SWB Ferrari ... Not a Camaro... |

It does not have to be unapproachable to be a dream car. Some wants their dreams to come true. |

This is true, the 69 camaro is an icon of american motoring and was just a stunningly beautiful car. It is disgraceful what the modern interpretation did to it. Trying to recapture that look in a bloated huge chuck of lead that the current camaro is today, tarnishes the memory of such a great looking car.
Still I have no desire to own one. Growing up I certainly did, but then I started going to car shows and realized that if you have a 69 camaro, you can spend 50 thousand dollars on it and there will be 11 just like yours at every car show in America. Now the car flippers have got a hold of them and the prices for what was every mans car are now collectory car 6 figure fodder. On a happier note, and somewhat back to topic. I recently got to drive my buddies 2013 Boss 302. Yeah, That was one bad arse car. |

Now if it only came with Leather and the other goodies from the GT Premium, but I think the GT Premium(now with more power) with the optional track pack(most of the 302's goodies) is a better option. Plus I don't want stripes or stickers on my car.

Not sure man, the 302 motor is a thing of beauty. He got his for 42k. A GT premium is right at 40 right with the track pack. That extra 2k is a no brainer if you ask me for probably the best handling Mustang ever made.
