New Camaros are too small for me. Just buy a wrecked firebird and use its front end, drivetrain, computer, and suspension to make your monte a LS1 RWD Monte. You get to keep your monte and have 400hp rwd manual. To be honest it would probably cost less then buying a new Camaro.

If I did trade the Monte in I would put original stuff back on if you still have it and sell your mods like hood and lights. They will give you nothing for them extra. Probably they would rather have it stock anyways. Sell me the hood. Of course cheaply...

the REAL question is.
do you wanna be like everyone else ? i see a camaro every 12 seconds im on the road! that car lost its "wow" affect long ago imo.
personally, i want to be different and i wouldnt want a car just ANYONE can walk on a dealership lot and buy it just because they have money. Nobody's going to know youre a Car Enthusiast because theyre just going to assume you wanted one cause it looked neat. The MONTE CARLO on the other hand is a rare breed of car! especially YOURS! i get compliments every other week on mine! people ask me all the time if its a Brand New car. and the LESS of them on the road. the more rare. the more WOW. the more special.

I'm a huge fan of the new Camaro's and think that would be a great car choice!
That being said, I would not trade my Monte Carlo for one. I'd regret that everyday for the rest of my life. If you feel as strongly about your Monte Carlo then I suggest you do not trade it in. I think your Monte Carlo is a fantastic Monte Carlo that is probably more unique and in the long run you may miss it the most.
If you can faciltate 2 awesome cars, why not wait until it is financially feasble to buy your dream Camaro when you can afford one without trading the Monte in?

I'd keep the Monte and if you want a Camaro find a 3rd gen with the 5.7L - I love those.
Scott, what dealer are you looking at? I'm going to be in the market for a car to replace my 05 SS soon - leaning more towards a Challenger RT Classic but not ruling out a 2LT 45th anniversary Camaro.

wow, to be honest I truly expected more people to be voting for camaro, I knew that the majority would go MC but I am truly surprised!
You guys are not making this easier haha.
And enough of the uniqueness argument
I don't care how many people have one if I enjoy driving it! While there may be a few Camaros on the roads, there really aren't all that many SS's that I see.
Amy, I'm loyal to Stasek in wheeling.

Scott, I wouldn't be worried about how many Camaros are on the road either. That's where customization comes in. And no doubt you will do some kick *** mods on it. What would bother me, is seeing my old car driving around with someone else behind the wheel. But seeing my new ride would help me get over that.
I know you already know this. But definitely demod the Monte as much as possible. The mods don't get you any more money. And often times makes the car harder to sell. Many people don't want to take a chance on a car that someone modded. Unless someone who knows you buys it.
