I'd rather not have a Toyota, that's for sure. That statement doesn't really make sense if you say "Would you rather have an old crappy Corolla or a 2011 Nissan R35 Skyline". But yeah I'd rather have an old camaro than a new one.

The thread is about styling. In performance it's no question the R35 wins hands down. Looks, I'd still prefer a retro look Camaro, Mustang, Challenger or even Jag easily.

Someone's interpretation, I guess, of a 2011 Chevy Chevelle:

Looks like something, can't quite pick it...

'73 Firebird???

They all look the same now. But go back and look at the old Camaro's and Firebirds.

Guess what. They looked practically the same back then to.

Everyone harps on about "Ohhh back in the good ol days the classics were yadda yadda yadda"

Theyve been sharing the styling for 50 years. Its not going to change now.

Considering the Firebird has always been the same body as the Camaro with a nose/bum job it's no real surprise they have always looked similar. The advantage is that you have 2 choices per model year and could pick whichever looked better :dance:. The original Knight Rider Trans Am rocked though :)

I always get a hard on for a 79 Firebird with the #### off decals.

It was what I was going to buy before I brought my SS but thought I should get a car that isnt going to cost me an extra 20 grand to get running... One day. One of my customers has a nice one in there getting fixed up. Any chance to duck over there to "help match a part".

I remember a girl in my old primary school, her parent's were doctors, and they had a Trans Am, & back then we were all like OMG WTF BBQ That's awesome best car ever!!! Cos, you know, back then in Sydney you didn't see many cool cars.

& you do have valid points in your other posts replying to mine, Reap, just setting up Skyrim so I can't type much lol.
