I bought a 2015 Camaro 2ss with 136000 miles and a newly rebuilt transmission I am loving this thing it has been nothing but reliable and fun

[willpatscully]

I can vouch for the sheer fun it is to drive a 1999 WS6. Floor it at a stoplight and you go sideways through the intersection. It was epic.

I was searching all over the Internet to find one of these videos and I watched your 10K one and now finally we get one

[el-darwish]

we need under 5k video for the broke homies ( most people in these days), btw ur videos r fire.

Good list and pretty accurate to what I'm seeing in the North East. I've commented before about this on your videos but the ls1 firebirds and camaro are a huge performance value. The best thing about the gm products is the ability to mix and match better stock parts from different or later model cars. Hope you find your stang btw ; )

[pcgamingtvr]

I love the videos, but can you also do different types of car related content? For example give us your opinion on the new corvette zr1 or mustang gtd?

i found a mint c5 z06 for like low 30k in cali when i lived there.

I'm Australian. If you are looking for a muscle car in America buy a GTO. They were some of the last Australian built cars ever, so you'll find they will be going for absolute $$$ soon.

I loved my 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. They do have their fair share of issues tho. The GT’s had DoD and would often fail causing some good damage in your valve train, carrier bearings are a common problem, headliner sagging, radiator fan motors going out, the 6L80’s weren’t the best, etc. If you’re looking at buying one make a DoD delete/cam swap top priority and it should be fairly reliable.

2000 WS6 for a daily. I get constant reminders of how rare you see them and just nice to see them being driven still. Time will shoot these guys even further up in value. Got mine for 11.4k with 118k miles (original seller wanted 13k but thats because he had new set of wheels, which I manage to have him take off and throw on the trashed up sock ones since I had some c7 Reps ready to go). It already had Exhaust, Headers, SLP lid, 3.73 gears and man she flies for a 20 year old car. I plan on doing more for it but the low price tag came at a cost for bad exterior but nothing crazy, and bad interior which luckily for me I had a whole clean set from my previous one that I would slap in there. If you can find a WS6 under 12k with 120k miles or less and all is mostly cosmetic issues go for it!

Definitely gotta agree with you on the Mustangs man. I too would love to help Mustang owners move to a different car and get that car off the road. Especially those newer ones with the gen 3 coyotes and the even newer gen 4s. Like, imagine making 700whp. They wouldn’t know.

For anyone reading this, I beg you please drive a 2011+ srt8 charger or challenger 😭🙏

[rdcoastborn]

i bought my 09 g8 gt in 2023 for 9k with 120k miles, clean texas title

[slocarfr]

i recently found a dodge magnum r/t with only 70k miles and looked grandpa driven for only 8k

[CotyBasa-Oahustate]

Big fan of the 3v and 2v, but i feel like ford should have introduced the 6r80 in 2010 like they did with the F-150 to see what the 3v could do with the 6r80

[CraigWhitley-cm]

I'll take a 2011 Mustang GT for 8-9000

[clemsonben]

I posted it I’ll do another one with the 10k list do u agree with my 3 favs

[TheFlashpoint]

We have a 2011 Camaro SS Convertible with the L99. I disabled the Active/Dynamic Fuel Management with an OBD port disabler. So far no issues.

[racingdreamz]

C6 with manual transmission is the best bang for buck
