I can c why the camaro is more addicting to drive but the corvette is more special when it comes to performance.

Didn't the Camaro (back in the day) used to be referred to as the "poor man's Corvette".. The Camaro is still an awesome little brother, but the Vette is still the beast and should be. My two cents.

I want to drive a Z06

I have to agree the vette was insanely fun to drive and to be honest a couple hours later when I gave the guy his vette back showered and everything and I got back in my camaro a part of me wished that it was the vette. but after 5 minutes of driving the camaro I was glad to be back home in my baby

Vette's are sweet but I actually have more confidence in the Camaro's suspension on rough Chicago on/off ramps. The extra weight helps it feel more planted. On a track through I would take the Vette.

yea when i drove that z06 and I hit like 75 it didn't rly feel like the car was on the ground. With the camaro I could hit 80 or way more and it would still feel planted on the ground thats one thing I forgot to mention

I offered to let him take it for a spin after but I took so long in his vette by the time we got it back in his garage he had to go to work so I guess that was my bad

I just got a 2011 V6 Camaro for daily driving.
If I want to feel more HP and shift the 6 speed, I drive the Z06.

There's a greater difference between the Camaro and Corvette than in the past, because of the weight. Years ago my dad had a 4thgen Corvette, and i actually liked the way my Camaro handled better.But the new Corvette's are actually lighter than those, while the Camaro is about 500 pounds heavier than it was in the 3rd and 4thgens.
