Yes i'm dead serious...right now I'm choosing the Camaro over a new Vette. The price is roughly the same for both vehicles and its making me think twice though. I have the money for either one.

I have two children one which turns 2 in a couple of months and a 7 year old. The extra backseat comes in handy in case of an emergency if i'm driving my Camaro..advantage Camaro.

...I do however, have a 2005 f150 4x4 supercab as a daily driver which is paid off so this car is going to be my toy...advantage Corvette.

Styling favors the Camaro due to it being a new model vs a mid model.

Performance favors the Corvette...

Engine LS3 vs LS2 favors the Camaro...

Wife likes the Camaro much more than the Corvette...(old story met me in one while I was in highschool...advantage Camaro.

My plan is to roll my cash into a CD and pay off the Camaro in 4 years...I will earn 2.5% on my CD and pay 4% on my auto loan....In 4 years I plan on using the CD money again and buy a Corvette 2013 when it comes out...am I crazy???

edit* with so many Camaros being built and flooding the market, resale heavily favors the Corvette, which makes it easier for me to turn it in and get something much nicer...ie...65k-70 sports car...
