Cool Good-bye Ralliart, Hello Camaro!

Well, today I ended up trading in my '09 Ralliart and got an '11 Camaro RS. I've always wanted a muscle car and I was able to get a really good deal on it.

I have had tons of fun in my Ralliart and I was sad to see her go, but I'm sure I will have as much fun, if not more fun with the Camaro.

It's been fun here on EvoM, this is a great community! Just wanted to thank everyone here for making this place an enjoyable experience!

Here are the pics, enjoy!

Basically, I am paying roughly $40 more a month and my insurance dropped $36 every six months.

My Camaro is fully loaded whereas the options I had on the Ralliart were just the standard options. I have HID's now, bluetooth, XM, 20" wheels all the way around. It's sweet!

It was a good deal!

The RS is a package you can and to the V6 and V8. Its mostly a visual package. Its great on the V6, because it instantly makes the scrawny-looking LS look just like its big brother the SS.

Okay, I admit it. I got the V6 version. LOL

But reason being is better fuel economy with crappy gas prices and I honestly don't see any need for a DD with over 400 hp! Not to mention, I was able to get a fully loaded LT RS Camaro for cheaper than it would've been to get the SS with just standard equipment.

I figured as much.

The RSs back in the day were mostly V6s with the z28 ground effects kit. But a few hat the actual 305. I figured they wouldnt change that.

If fuel economy was a concern, ya shoulda bought an eco car. All show and no go in a big heavy car.
