You guys have all been really great, informative, and welcoming. I appreciate it! Reminds me of the great group on Nastyz28.com (the 2nd gen Camaro forum).

No scientific proof out there but I have heard that the red cars are slightly faster. Pretty sure that came from unbiased red car owners.

Don’t forget one of the names for that color, pull me over red

the other being red hot, and yet again victory red. Pull me over red is a classic color name in my opinion haha.

Maybe pry open the coin purse a bit for the reasonably priced Z over in the Z/28 section. Just sayin'.

I'd probably lean more towards the silver car especially if it's been well cared for. If you're going to ride it hard and put it away wet then the white one is a good choice as long as the work was done properly. I made a feeble attempt at Auto X with my Z/28 and after running over several cones and constantly spinning about I decided to step back for a bit. The 5th Gens are kinda big cars and I had a heck of a time with sight lines and trying to determine how close the car was to the cones. I'm currently putting a lot of $$$ and effort into a C5 Vette that I use for HPDE and that consumes a lot of time so the Z is back to being a late night therapy machine.

Thank you for posting a pic of the pair of them together, as it gives me an idea as to how much taller the beltline is in the Camaro in comparison to the C5.

Due to an interesting seated height/torso length problem, practically every Vette out there is a no-go for my personal chassis, as my head goes into the roof.
