We get it, its faster, quicker, lighter, handles better... yadda yadda yadda...


That doest change the fact that MOST (not all but most) people that drive them are older people that are too freakin good to talk to any young person with a Corvette b/c they automatically assume it was given to you or your driving "daddy's car" Screw that. Perfect example, at a local restaurant there was a sign that said "Corvette Parking only" right by the door... YEAH, F that. I parked there every time.

Furthermore, the Corvette will ALWAYS be better (in most peoples eyes) than the Camaro... isnt that why it costs twice as much? I know some one is going to say its not twice as much... Whatever, its considerable more.

I own my Vette because I like it, I could give a shit what anyone else thinks of it nor do I 'need' companionship of other Corvette owners........
I am 33 and havent had any problems with older Corvette owners and am still accepted by the local lsx crowd thats mostly made up of 4th gen fbodies and gto's.......................

The Vette dosent cost 2x what a Camaro does, you can get a coupe for around 40k new, last time I checked a loaded 2ss was that much or more............. I picked up my LS3 Vette with 5k miles for $34,900, and after I sold the clear top that came with it , it cost me a net of $34,200...............

C6 ZO6s are starting to hit mid $30s so I would hardly say they cost a nut


If you compare MRSP to MRSP it looks one sided but look at real world prices and compare a very low mile one owner Vette to a new Camaro and the choice is obvious
