Have you driven a Corvette? Which one fits you better? Which one makes you smile as you drive it?

Go get the stingray, its a much better car. The only "advantage" the Camaro has is the "rear seat". For all those people saying old men have Corvettes, please let me know what your work is and what your priorities are that you can afford a 60,000 car at a "young age" it takes awhile to be able to spend 60 grand on a car, especially when you consider the options at about half the price (Camaro, mustang, challenger)

I looked at both when I bought my Camaro last year and I just couldn't justify spending 20-30 grand more for a nicer interior, lighter weight, and slightly more power (of which I wont use I never track {I know I got a 1LE with no plans to track it I liked the look and the way it drove}). Thats the part I had hardest time with was I getting the extra enjoyment out of the extra money. I would wait to see the 2016 Camaro then drive them all 2016 Camaro, Ford Mustang GT350, Dodge Challenger Scat Pack,Corvette Z51. But I know once you got the itch you have to scratch I wanted to wait to try Challenger Scat Pack but I couldn't wait another year.

Love the Syn Green!

I'd go drive one first. Remember you have a rare color which makes your Camaro really cool. Once it's gone, you might get withdrawals.

I'm going to drive a couple C7's this weekend to get the feel. Money is a factor but they seem to be a good value for the price. Over time I have about $50 invested in mine and I know it's not about getting it back but it's about what I want. That said, I'll find out this weekend I'm sure!

I say Stingray. I don't think of the new model being an old person's car. I think it's one of the best looking sports cars out there right now. I was thinking of a used 2014 Corvette in a couple of years but my concern is it being a daily driver.

Say What . Keep the Synergy Green Camaro . You not only have a rare color but also the V8 SS .

Sorry The Corvette is just ,well just . I have never really been a fan of the vette's my self . And it is a different crowd of people . And not being rude after being at shows and looking at the vette's , they just all look all the same . Just my opinion .

I'm over 50 and I love the Camaro . And people look at it all the time . the Synergy Green gets so much attention no matter where your at . I got my wheels done yesterday at the corner garage . everyone kept asking questions and wanting to see it all . There was a couple of people that stopped and the guy asked if he could help them , they said no we just stopped to look at this car .. Who knew ....LOL

But hey it's your choice do what ever your heart tells you to do . Your paying for so it doesn't matter what we think ..right

Just enjoy the ride ...

I was mostly referring to the maintenance schedule. From what I remember it looked more extensive and had more frequent intervals than a camaro.

I know what you mean. Mines not a daily driver so last week (when it was nice up here in MN) I got it out and took it for a spin. I had people honking and several taking pictures with their phones. I know it has a lot to do with the color (and maybe the sound with the upgraded exhaust) but it is a lot of fun regardless!
