Agreed. I'd only take a 4.6 over the 5.0 if it was the 32V Cobra engine. Totally bad@$$.
If you like the body style of the Camaro .... get one. More power to ya'. But, personally, I hate the way they look. The body style that Aaron's brother has was the last body style that looked good, IMO. The 93-97's are hideous (traded one in for our Focus ). 98-02's are a little better, but still not the greatest.
And on the fuel economy thing .... get a car for that. A beater if you have to. Mustang's & Camaro's usually don't go well when looking for 30+ MPG, lol. You'll regret it later on if you don't ...... because you won't be able to mod the car without sacrificing that part.
