Simple test. Test drive them both and see what you think.

Thats hard man, I love the Camaro but I guarantee I could get a used Vette for not much more than I'm going to spend on my Camaro but I like the Camaro better. I guess it all comes down to your preference.

I agree with the above, test drive both and see which appeals to you more.

A Camaro is a FUN Muscle car.

A Vette is a street racer. To me not much fun.

Corvettes are EVERYWHERE, YUK.

Vette's have NO ROOM. My car IS NOT a car to go to the lumber yard, BUT I do like to be able to put something in it now and then. Its nice to have a buddy go places with AND have room for his son to come with, AND stop at the store for a few things AND have room for it.

Its YOUR choice, but I personally CAN'T even compare the 2 cars, COMPLETELY different cars IMO. Why not get a Hummer, thats also MUCH diff then a Camaro.

thats true, im 19 theres gonna 1 person in the passanger seat, vettes are everywhere not many mods can be done looks wise. Im prob gonna get a camaro but its a really hard decision. im prob gonna have to goto the local dealership and sit in a vette to see before i make my final decision. any vette and camaro owners mind throwing some advice into this?

I don't think that is true, really--most people just prefer to buy sports cars new, as was argued above, and most people CAN'T buy a Vette until they are in their 50s.

Anyway, with cars like these I want them to be exactly what I want.

Color. Stripes. Interior. I'm picky.

I doubt I could ever call a car another guy designed my own.

If you are fortunate enough to be purchasing a second car at your age, get the 2LT. You should be financially able to buy a NEW Vette soon if you save your money, anyway.

Best of luck with your career, man. Sounds like you're working hard.

If this is going to be your daily driver, you should get the 2LT. It's what I drive every day, and it's excellent for that purpose.

I wouldn't get the V6 if it was my weekend car, though. Then I'd want the SS or Vette.

I understand. I'm only 22 and I drive the 2LT, so I feel ya.

Just leave the Vette on the list of cars for when you're in your late 20s or early 30s, maybe. It's good to have something to aim for!

I absolutly LOVE my corvette. But its looks are nothing next to the 2010 camaro. But honestly IT takes a super expensive exotic to compete with the raw power that beast makes.
