I thoroughly enjoyed driving my 2010 Camaro (2LT/RS) and was not thinking of trading it in until I saw the unveiling of the 2014 Corvette. If you can afford the cost, by all means go for it. I picked up my car on January 16 and love it. Driving has been limited because of the awful winter we've had (just under 700 miles put on since I picked it up), but I'm looking forward to driving more as the weather gets better.

Even with the all-season tires I put on for the winter the car has amazing handling and I'm anticipating even better handling when I switch back to the summer only tires. I find myself checking the weather forecast each evening hoping the weather will be good the next day so I can drive the Stingray. It's a letdown when the weather doesn't cooperate and I have to drive my winter car.

One unexpected benefit is the gas mileage I'm getting. My combination of city/highway driving was getting me just over 23 mpg in the V6 Camaro (using winter blend gas), and I've been getting 22.5 mpg on the Vette under the same circumstances.

With your mods you may be trading down in power, but I guarantee you will be happy with the switch.
