    I had a 69 Camaro, and an 02 V6 Camaro. Loved both. Did n't get to drive the 69 more than like three times before I had to sell it. Needed the money, food/rent or a car that needed work. The 02 I am still angry about losing and because of what happened I don't trust mechanics very much. Had one that purposefully killed the engine. 75k on that car. I have a 2000 V6 mustang... that is a project car, hope to get it back on the road again soon.

    There's no replacement for displacement. It reminds me of my 69 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351C V-8 (I put that in from a '71 junkyard car). It had a new paint job, hood locks, ram air scoop, four headlights and fastback. Primitive by comparison to modern cars, but it was the best car I have ever had when it came to smiles and good feelings per mile. Everywhere I went people asked me about my Mustang with a big smile on their face. I showed a picture of it to my son decades later and he got the biggest smile on his face I have ever seen.

Also be warned that the A8 is known to have shuddering problems due to torque converter/fluid failures. Mine is in the shop right now for that issue... Imo the one to get is the 2017 if you can. You get a few small upgrades from 2016 (and more models), and it's the 50th anniversary year. All 2017s have a little commemorative piece at the bottom of the steering wheel, and you can buy/use accessories (i.e. floormats) with the Fifty logo without the guilt/shame of mismatching them. It's an incredible car with a great community and fantastic aftermarket. Best of luck!

    The only vehicle I bought from GM was the Camaro. However, GM has always treated the Camaro like the step child. The Camaro could have been much better and sold more if GM didn’t neglect it in order to put more attention on the Corvette. GM as a corporation doesn’t have pride in it’s products, only cares about the bottom line, which is why I stopped buying their garbage in 2002.

    @@wittytech7288 I would rather own a Corvette than any Porsche. Mainly because their cheaper to maintain and own in the long run. For example the 2020 ZR1 Corvette has 755 HP, you would need a 2020 Porsche 911 Turbo S to compare to ZR1. That Porsche 911 Turbo s costs over 40k$ more. Very soon Corvette will be releasing an 800+ HP range model. By 2025 or so GM has stated that they will come out with/ release a hybrid gas/electric Corvette that's 1000 HP. Corvette has always been a very competitive affordable sports car. A long time ago my dad had a 1966 Corvette 427, those had 425 HP stock. His would run 11.9's quarter mile ,with stock motor + 👍 drag strip tires. That's technology from almost 60 yrs ago.

    @andybales7318 Thanks for your insight. I will run my paid for tacoma and paid for highlander till the bitter end . Once those vehicles are at the end of their life I ll buy a Toyota hybrid.

    Yes, Scotty said a normal engine will last long if you change the oil regularly.
