1. "It was in a movie" Yeah because most people look at a V6 and say "Oh that wasn't the one in the movie, it was the SS." Most people associate the Camaro with Transformers regardless of being a V6 or V8, I doubt most can even tell the difference.
2. A new 2012 SS MSRP starts $32,280 (right off Chevy website). "2002 SS stickered for 32k, you think that's in line even with inflation? I think not." Well I don't know what kind of inflation you're using but it looks pretty in line even without inflation to me (assuming the price you gave is correct).
3. "Get a Corvette for less than 10k extra? Based on what? Sure make it a 2SS/RS and start throwing in some other options then maybe, but some people like those extra options and they don't all come standard on the base model corvette. Why don't you compare both cars with similar options and see how they line up. You're also assuming that all people care about is performance and that everyone likes the Corvette better than the Camaro. I know I prefer the look of the Camaro for one and while I like to go fast, I'm not going to be racing mine so don't so much care if the Corvette is lighter and handles better.
4. Lets even assume you can get a Corvette for "only an additional 9k or so". How much more is a 2SS over a 2LT? $7,450. So while you criticize the V8 owners who say "why wouldn't you pay an extra $7,500 to get an SS" to the v6 owners, you then turn around and tell the V8 owners "why not throw out an extra 9k for a Corvette." Because in both cases, it's a good amount of money.
Both cars are great cars. You're not more manly if you drive the V8, but you're also not an idiot who paid a highly inflated price for one either. Be happy with what you have and stop trying to find fault with someone who got a V6 or someone who got a V8.

2SS owner here...well, nevermind...lol...well, ok...ah, forget it!...lol...
Well put above. I've pretty much sided with the V-6 side as far as being criticised unfairly. But after seeing this thread, wow...I dunno!...lol
