Taskforce121 · 04-15-2016, 10:28 AM

well folks, due to some unforeseen personal issues, I must part with one of my 2 cars, so it is either the 2003 Z06, or the 2013 2SS Dusk Edition Camaro, both of which I love dearly. so am asking the folks on the forum to help me decide. thanks

I would keep the Vette!

IOMCamaroSS · 04-15-2016, 10:49 AM

I like corvettes but an '03 versus a '13 SS.. I'd keep the Camaro.

rfhall11 · 04-15-2016, 11:01 AM

I like them both, but yeah, keep the Camaro

NHCamaroSS · 04-15-2016, 11:07 AM

2 sweet rides, but I'd keep the camaro......

If money is an / the primary issue, you'll obviously need to consider the ballpark $ figure you're looking for from either one you sell.

Are both vehicles paid off or do you still owe on one or both?

Divest yourself of the Vette. Older and less "practical".

Loose the Land Rover.

I would keep the vette unless you need a back seat

Cami-Girl · 04-15-2016, 01:29 PM

The Camaro has a back seat?!!!!

0331Marine · 04-15-2016, 01:30 PM

Vette all the way, miss my 01. Only reason I have the Camaro is I had to have a backseat.

zr1chris · 04-15-2016, 01:34 PM

What are the mileage on the 2 vehicles?

Taskforce121 · 04-15-2016, 03:45 PM

2003 has 25,000
2013 has 16,000

Keep the vette

Welker2 · 04-15-2016, 06:07 PM

Keep the Vette; I also have both and, even though mine is a base/3lt and I really like my Camaro, If I had to make a choice, I would never give up or trade my Vette & keep the Camaro for a few reasons:

1) It's a totally different class of vehicle ... also, IMO better looking/more stylish, higher performance, more 'unique' (don't see as many Vettes as Camaros on the road) ... your ZO6 is in an even higher class.
2) Although my Vette is an '06 with 400HP & my Camaro SS is a '13 with over 400HP, my Vette hits 180 with ease ... not so in the Camaro, even with the rev limiter removed.
3) Vette is more fun to drive, especially through mountain/windy roads ... out handles the Camaro.
4) Both mine are paid for, if I sold the Vette versus the Camaro, it would cost more to replace in the future, i.e. given equal status (buying either new or of the same year) ... the only way I'd 'sell' my Vette would be to buy another, new one, possibly a C7.

These are just a few of the reasons I came up with off the top of my head ... of course this is a Camaro forum, so you're going to get a lot of 'keep the Camaro comments', many of which will be from individuals who have never owned a Corvette.

good luck with your decision
