Fair enough. I mean, I love the body styling and the stance of the C6. It was great. Here in California, though, plagued by trendy-ism, not only was a C6 a dime a dozen on the road, the Camaro is much the same. Lol. What did I expect? Hahaha.

Anyways, I digress...performance wise? Corvette hands down. Even the LS2...still faster than an SS, and handled head and shoulders better.

But, ultimately, if it's a DD for you, and you need practicality as well as the satisifaction of having some get up and go oomph, as it were, the Camaro would be a much better choice. If you live in a city, definitely a Camaro. Unless you've got nothing but open roads and highway and some nice twisty backroads, AND you're not DDing it, the vette wasn't the right choice, IMHO.

Still doesn't mean I don't miss it. I just don't miss all the other aspects of it enough to make me regret trading in.

Lol. This. It's amazing what some people will put up with for the sake of having a certain car as a DD though...
