The Vette's NPP(butterfly) exhaust gives you the sound of speed and the car is more...violent in its accelaration. Both cars are faster than any sane human needs them to be, but they are so much fun.  I am getting older and just enjoy cruising now more with the occasional burst of speed here and there, but I cannot say that I am bored with either car. They are a blast.  |
since you described the feeling of the Vette in more words, could you also please describe the feeling of the Camaro? You used the words "violent" to describe the Corvette acceleration. What words would you use to describe the Camaros?
What I'm looking for in the Camaro is a feeling of "losing control" - that I need to withhold power to avoid losing control. I don't get that feeling with my current car. I have to floor it to feel the acceleration but I don't feel "out of control" and I don't feel that I have to restrain myself.
The thrill of a sports car is the wild and thrilling aspect of it, and what kind of thrill would it be if the car is within the limits of your ability, when you cannot push a car beyond your ability into that danger zone? The thrill of amusement rides is the feeling of no control in a sensation that feels dangerous.
Given you seem to describe the Vette in a thrilling way, is the Camaro "thrilling"?
