What happens when a thousand zombies decide to ambush your little camaro? You'll wish you had a truck with the big gun lol.

The Camaro wouldn't put up much resistance. That Chevy would buckle when the first zombie hits that bumper. Not to mention the motor will undoubtedly seize at that point.

Unless you have an A10 Warthog as a backup.

in all honesty the best survival situation vehicle would be a 2.5 ton 6 cyl multi fuel 6x6 with all the trimmings, make sure a plow is part of those trimming. runs on most fuel sources you will find, and can blast through damn near anything, including hordes of zombie folk

Thats the thing about the 6x6's too, you can throw a few more rockwells under them if you want lol. Good enough suspension it'll go anywhere!

Kind of reminds me of an early Toyota.

It looks too vulnerable to be a zombie crunching rig. The underside is too exposed. If a zombie got up in there he could start ripping wiring out. :P

Supposedly they started out with a 71 Bronco (a shame for that old Bronco, I must say) and eventually used some frame sections from a school bus to fit the big tires on the front end. Then decided to use the school bus diesel for more power. Pretty BA in my opinion.

Edit:

If a zombie got up in there he could start ripping wiring out. :P
I didn't think of that.

i still say jimmy or blazer of the 67-72 variety. too wide to be an eb, eventhough i'm not too familiar with eb body lines, could also be a scout of some sort
