Gen5 and Gen 6 Camaro also has the 6.2 Liter with Quad Tip NPP dual-mode exhaust available as an option. Did you try driving one? To me it sounds perfect, very similar to Corvette (neighbor has Stingray). And at highway steady cruising the straight-through valves close which quiets it down so easy to listen to radio or have conversation (although some tweak the Corvette and Camaro to leave it in loud mode always or manual control of it). The other part of the sound package for me is it must have a manual transmission.
The big plus side I find is that in a pinch there are 2 seats in the back in the Camaro which is handy when sometimes using it as family car instead of my SUV, LOL.

When I really want to enjoy the notes from exhaust even louder, fold down the back seat or roll down the windows.

I just bought my first vette a GS vert. There is no comparison between a Camaro and a Corvette. The GS is an unbelievable driver and with an A&A sc on it,,,,,look out!

Having had both, I can say that the Vette, specifically the Z06's, are some of the best bang for the buck performance cars out there, bar none. I loved both, especially my C6 LS7 powered Z, but my current C5 1LE is an awesome DD, a great track car for occasional HDPE's and track days, and overall a very fun car to own and modify. Will I get another Vette, specifically a C7? Most likely, yes. Until then, enjoy what you brought to the dance, because there's always gonna be a badder, faster, quicker one out there. Followed a McClaren(sp?) 650 home last night, and that thing sounded badass!! Had to laugh at his rapid, frustrated lane changes in rush hour traffic, but would have loved to experience a drive in a $280K sports car......

For a little over $30K (mods not included ), we have it pretty damn good.

How dare you sir comparing apples with lemons

Having had both, that included a 600 HP. BLOWN 2003 C-5 Corvette, if you are willing to spend the money on a good set of headers & a straight through retro style 3 in. chamberd exhaust from stainless works (that virtually eliminates the resonators & mufflers), your SS Camaro will sound just as good, if not better than the Corvette that you were referring to!

All The Best,

My good friend still has one of those 03 C-5 yellow Z06's.

He tracked it dam near every week, blew a few engine's along the way.

As he use to tell me, these Z06's never like to be supercharged.

Never the less, he dropped in a LS3 and never looked back. Still owns it and tracks it.

I was going to buy one because I'm old, but they wouldn't let me drive it because I still have all my hair.

But seriously, I felt like I practicaly had to lay down in it. Just didn't seem that comfortable for a dd..

Got my MRT 2 and VTC, will be installed in a few days, i think that would do for a couple of years, until the itch starts again.

And why do the bald ones always drive convertibles?

Because we don't have to worry about messing our hair!!! JK. Don't have a Vette, but if I did, it would be a '57, or a '63 split window. Maybe a '67 big block with tri-power.

A Corvette is a Corvette and a Camaro is a Camaro,other than both being made by Chevrolet they are two totally different types of cars .Get so sick of hearing some trying to compare to each other. Go buy a Corvette.

I love Vettes for what they are, but have never had the slightest twinge to own one..
6 kids, 6 grand kids and counting. Everything I own has to have 43 doors and 54 seatbelts.

Sounds like it's time to make your exhaust louder
