Default Nova or Camaro?

I think I know how this will go but...

I am sure many of you are aware that I am planning a 66-67 Nova build. Daily driver, 350 Ram Jet, auto trans, plans for modern comfort interior and monster handeling and braking. Why did I choose this car? Looks cool, it's small and light, will get better mileage, requires less horsepower to be quick, fits in my small garage easily. Clearly (although slightly larger and heavier) an F body is a much better starting point to build a corner carver (parts availability and such).

I was initially opposed to F bodies because there are so many out there (for a good reason I might add). I just wanted to do something slightly different. However, I will say I like F bodies just as much as the next guy...they look killer.

So how say you, forum brethren? Stick with the Nova or start looking into F bodies?

I say Nova. I still miss my '67. Don't get me wrong, nothing will ever come b/w me and my Camaro, but Shoebox Novas are so cool.

You seem to know the pros and cons of both. Its a personal desision. No one should decide this for you. build which ever you are personally more atracted to. Parts are more redily available for both of the cars then (i think) any other. If you are planning on keeping it for a long time. make sure it is the car you are attracted to. They are both azz kickers. You kind of cant go wrong.

I went with camaro because they will get you more tail, and because it's a cooler looking car, at least I think so.
But I would say you should get whatever you really want. I tell people all the time, you only live once and you should always never second guess yourself. If you want a nova, then get one, if you want a camaro, then you should get one, but whatever you do, get which one you feel you want the most. Don't let us dictate what you should have.
