Personally I wouldn't go with either. They're both fugly. And I'm not a Chevy hater. I'm a GM mechanic, actually. I'd look for a first gen Camaro. Everything after those look like poo. Or if you can find a Chevelle or something. Even if it's a POS they're not hard to work on.

I don't like either one, but if I had to choose it would defintely be the Camaro, IMO. The Malibu may be powerful, but it looks like a P.O.S.

The 'maro man. That malibu makes me want to burn my eyes out.

Camaro, tho the Malibu would be a hell of a sleeper though.

I dont understand why you need something so powerful but I would go with the maro.

Whats your motivation for buyingthe new car, tell us what you want out of it/what the car's purpose is and im sure people will be able to help you.

First of all.. Cominus... think about what you just said... who doesnt want more power here? lol. The car would be a cruiser and a ricer bruiser... Im not much of a street racer and i dont go to the track.. yet... but the ability to run and run fast is a must. I just want to eat ricers in my area and look badass doing it.
