If you could trade your Camaro in for the new Corvette, would you? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just saw the Stingray for the first time today and believe it or not I would have to say NO. Don't like the lines or the curves. Now a pre-stingray. I wouldn't even think twice. Does anyone else feel they went in the wrong direction with the new corvette?

wrong direction?

no........ I will have one in 18 months....

Saw it in person back end is sick front end is to girly not mean like the c6 and the chrome rims for them looks fake. So only black rims really looks good. On that note no I would not trade my Camaro in for the vette now, but I'd def like to see what the z06 and ZR1 look like

Heck yeah.. ride in one.. the cost is what kills it for me.

OHIOSS · 08-08-2013, 11:51 PM

I plan to buy one but am keeping my Camaro. If I had a choice and could only keep one of them it would be the Stingray. GM really hit it out of the park with the new Stingray.

Trade.....no. Will I have one yes. Having a family of four it makes a vette useless. But I will have one along with the Camaro.

caper · 08-09-2013, 12:14 AM

I plan on having one in 2 years!! and boy will I be excited when it happens!

2010 SSRS · 08-09-2013, 12:28 AM

no, I would trade in my SS for a ZL1 and I absolutely love the new Corvette, but Camaro always come first for me over any car, I had a Corvette and I'm sure I will have another one.

I saw the C7 at the fest, had the opposite reaction from you, and 100%, YES. I love my Camaro but the Vette is far superior in almost every aspect. The rest just have some preconceived notion of who the Vette customer should be.

*Camaro_Corvette* · 08-09-2013, 07:57 AM

That's a tough one. I haven't had the opportunity to test drive one yet, but I almost guarantee that I will like it more than my camaro. Does that mean that I will trade, no. I'll just save up and get one later.

cam62 · 08-09-2013, 08:03 AM

As much as I love corvetttes - especially the new stingray - no I would not trade my Camaro for a new corvette

I've owned a c4 and c5 ZO6 - as a daily driver, nope not for me. Too confining.

I'm no longer in a position to have a corvette AND a camaro.

Now, if I come into a boatload of extra cash.. I'll order mine right away. Accepting donations.. LOL

VcrusaderV · 08-09-2013, 08:19 AM

I like it a lot but not more than my Camaro.

thxultra · 08-09-2013, 08:45 AM
