As far as the vette being better, that's an opinion. It has more content than Camaro, but there are the cynical that would also say that there little difference, quality wise, between the two based that they are from the same maker. Good, better or best is really based on an objective and which car answers an objective best.
The Camaro has enjoyed newfound respect due to its engineering and performance abilities, in both the ZL and Z28 programs. Right now, the ZL1 is the fastest Chevrolet at Nurburgring (until they test a c7Z06). You have to respect Camaro's achievements. Aside from the weight, I would definitely pick a ZL1 over a base vette, but then again I'm not a vette fan.

It was a regret after I owned it for a year, as I realized how little I put the top down. I know many people that use their convertibles, that's cool, I don't.
And the Camaro ZL1 1LE is the fastest Chevrolet, not the base SIXTH GEN ZL1 (Which btw is worlds ahead of the FIFTH gen Zl1 that we are discussing here). The track focused Z28 got beat out by an SS 1LE (SIXTH GEN), that's right, $75,000 and 2 years later the $45,000 SS car with a package beats it. As a 5th gen owner, I can't help but feel like we're quickly losing our relevance. 5th ZL1s don't beat GT500s or Hellcats, 5th Z28s don't beat GT350Rs, 5th SSs don't beat 5.0s.
