For 7 years I owned a 1998 C5 supercharged Corvette. I decided a year ago to sell it and buy a new Camaro SS and have no regrets. I still have a 1985 C4 Corvette with low mileage and in showroom condition that rarely leaves the garage.

Former C5 owner also..... Great car and I do miss her but I really LOVE the Camaro and got a really good deal.

Traded my 2006 Corvette convertible automatic for my Camaro M6.

I had an LS2 C6 and 5th gen at the same time. Loved them both, but decided one needed to go.....Camaro's still in my garage. I have no regrets.

Over the years (and in my single days), I've had 2 C4's, 3 C5's and a C6 Corvette. When I had a child, I gave up the Corvette as it just wasn't practical enough and I needed a 2+2.

I definitely miss having a Corvette and I'm salivating over the C7 Stingray. To me, the Camaro is the next best thing.
