I'm sorry. Enjoy the creaky body structure, the rattling interior, the less than comfortable seats, the harsh ride, the diffculty getting in and out, the lack of a rear seat...

I was a 5 time Corvette repeat customer. (67, 92, 95, 00, 07). July 13, 2009 was a VERY happy day when I handed the keys over to my 2007 C6 for the Camaro...

Yeah, the Corvette is faster, lighter, quicker and handles better but what are you, a race car driver? Sorry, the Camaro is a better car IMO.

Enjoy.

sav1, first, i love your avatar!
second, you kept it GM and in my book you can't go wrong with either choice. Good luck, that is one sweet ride.

Enjoy.
Corvette = Racecar
Camaro = Sports car

Neither is the better car. It's about what the OP wanted. There are cars with more comfortable seats and softer rides than the Camaro, but you obviously still got a Camaro. That must mean those aren't the only factors for buying a car.

Gorgeous! I love my z06 - but they are right about the corvette tax - mods are crazy expensive! Mind you, that hasn't stopped me! That's one of the things I like about the camaro - mods are about half those of the vette.

I'm rpoz06 on the corvetteforum - say "hi" sometime!

My mildly modded Z06 !

People are going to like what they like. If a Z06 floats your boat, go for it. I like the looks of the Camaro a tad better though, myself. I know many folks think the Corvette is all that and a bag of chips, and to some extent it is, but to me it's a purpose-built car. A Corvette may end up in my garage one day, but there's no goal to do it. Another Camaro is, however.

Enjoy it. They ARE cool.
