He may be looking more like his character in True Romance with a scruffy beard, but it was Brad Pitt who celebrity photographers spotted checking out a new Camaro SS. Buyers could find a cheaper counterpart with some used Chevrolets in New York, however.

The paparazzo from X17.com didn’t find out why Pitt was checking out the classic looks of the Camaro SS, although it intimated that a recent motorcycle crash might have been the reason to go from two wheels to four.

But while a new SS can top out at more than $30,000, used Chevrolet Camaros in New Yorkcould offer similar performance without the hit to the wallet. It cradles the driver in “position for hard driving” with the capability of the powerful V8 engine, according to a Cars.com review of the 2002 model in SS trim.

“On straighter pavement, the thick tires cling as if they have claws,” notes the website. “Acceleration appears more vigorous from a standstill than at highway speeds, and automatic-transmission shifts are crisp and positive.”
