2014 red base auto corvette vs my 2014 camaro on trade - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Having owned both, my beloved Camaro goes to my oldest boy in a couple years so I can upgrade to the Stingray. There is nothing like driving a Stingray, makes me feel like the Joker, permanent smile.

Wrong, it's cheaper to put tires on a vette than it is a Camaro.

Michelin PSS's are 200 bucks cheaper for a corvette than the Camaro.

And, not to mention, there are actually better tires available for the corvette sizes than for a stock Camaro SS. You actually can't even get PSS's in the stock SS size. The 2014 Vette, there are PSS's, BFG Rivals and RE-11s, none of these are available for the Camaro without changing wheels.

If it was me I would do a Corvette, but part of the fun in having a muscle car is upgrading it.

It looks like there is a cover over the entire bottom of the vette.

that 14 vette has a LT1 engine. its Direct port injected. If is lighter ,has more power ,has better MPG, and handles better than the 5th Gen Camaro. Congrats on the Vette
