The camaro show · 01-07-2017, 05:22 PM

Hi everyone I know corvettes are more money but not far off a ss what do you like better what's faster what's a better car and why and why did you pick a camaro over a corvette?

You like creating these type of threads don't you?

I personally like the Vette better. Just about every aspect really, except for how much they cost. That's why I have a Camaro lol..

This is a Camaro forum, so answers might be biased

JLSuperfly · 01-07-2017, 05:39 PM

It depends, auto vs. manual?

Moto-Mojo · 01-07-2017, 05:50 PM

It depends on who autographs it.

I have the 2010 SS and a 2005 C6 Z51.. both six speeds.. same mods ectp the Camaro has gears.. vararam air intakes long tube headers no cats same tuner.
The Vette is faster even LS2 vs LS3.. gets way better MPG.. feels like a fighter jet, tighter interior and just has a more edgy feel... brakes way way better, way more fun to drive, lots more road noise, harsher ride, a pain in the butt to get in and out of
Camaro gets more compliments... and is much more comfortable to drive, quiet and smoother and more room inside... sports car vs. Muscle car is really not Apples to Apples... my suggestion if you can afford it buy one of each

I own both ... they are two very different animals; the Camaro is a muscle/pony car that now leans towards being a sports car, the Corvette is a sports car. I like them both for different reasons, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the Corvette...stock for stock the Corvette out handles and performs the Camaro. My '06 Corvette (with the Z51 & 3LT packages) is faster/quicker then my '13 SS/RS and, more importantly to me, the Corvette out handles and performs the Camaro, especially when it comes to corning and windy roads (we have a lot of very nice mountain roads around here).

jshaf · 01-07-2017, 07:11 PM

to me the question should be what is the best car you can afford.....hands down the Camaro....V8 of course

rich2342 · 01-07-2017, 07:17 PM

I haven't purchased yet, but was looking in the 20k range. So, C5's and 2010/11 Camaro's. I had a chevy dealer scare me about common issues on the C5's(steering column) I thought the LS1 was bullet-proof, but I hadn't looked into other issues.

The Camaro just has a classic design and is newer so that is likely my purchase. I would be happy with either!

I never understood these questions.

You are comparing a sledgehammer to a surgical knife.

There is a zillion pounds of difference between both. The weight difference alone, most likely answers most of the questions.

LT1Zob · 01-07-2017, 07:44 PM

I have both. 2 different animals. My M6 1LE is a lot of fun, an incredible muscle car, but my M7 Z51 is a surgical tool. The two can't be fairly compared.

Well, I agree wholeheartedly, but the OP is a sixteen year old......there will be a lot of these threads.

Which of your legs would you rather have?
