Pros and cons of a Camaro

I'm thinking of getting a Camaro, but I'm also torn with getting a Silverado. So my question is, what are the pros and cons of a Camaro.

Pros- permagrin, fun, hottest car on the streets, more fun, attention, more permagrin......

Cons- you can't stop with just one mod

I would like to get the 2LT/RS since the 2SS is a little pricey for me.

LT/RS is a fine machine. More HP than the Camaros back in the day. Like Dtrimpi87 said, you'll be smiling from ear to ear every time you start it up. I can guarantee that will never happen with a Silverado. Now, a word of caution...it takes a distinct personality to join this 60,000+ member club. Can you handle being gawked at, thumbed up, pointed at, and challenged by farty imports? If so, get a Camaro. If not, just blend in with the masses and get a Silverado. Ok...that's my sales pitch.

Haha I have a 76 LT, but it recently broke down and I would get a lot of attention and thumbs up while driving around. It was pretty loud so it got a lot of attention. I'm sure I can handle all that you mentioned. My friends will be hating on me though, but that's okay

Both are fine vehicles... but honestly you gotta get a Camaro!

I've had no problems with my mine. You will truly enjoy driving it.

I looked at new Silverados the same time as Camaros. I think new, the Silverados are way too expensive...For the money, I thought the Camaro was relatively a much better deal.
