While there are a lot of people on this and other performance forums who would rather buy a Corvette than a Camaro, if the price point was near the same, there are a lot more that realize that they are two completely different cars built for two different purposes. Personally, I don't think a Z28 version of a Camaro, even at close to the same price and power output, is going to cut into the sales of base Corvettes. And certainly not the Z06.
I did not buy a GT500 because I could not afford a Corvette, nor did I buy it because I thought it offered better performance. I bought it because it was the vehicle that best suited my desires/needs at this point in my life.

Very well said, I would even venture to say, in my case i have kids, a wife, like to hang with friends, pets, pick up hot stranded chics ect ect (I'm a good samaritan, my biggest flaw), and i can fit MOAR of the afformentioned things in my Camaro as compaired to a Vette. Corvettes are ok for what they are, flashy and bang for the buck when compaired to a Lambo! lol =)
