It feels more raw, and the butt dyno definitely feels faster

There were a few straight areas that we used to travel frequently and were able to "stretch our legs" so to speak. Any straight stretch makes me fall in love it it all over again, but corners really make me want to swap for a C5. |

You will regret it. Make it faster and those urges will stop.

I know 100% I'll regret it, but I know there are other options out there that would fit my wants better along with putting money in my property. A Camaro was never on the buy list when I picked it up in 2021. I was after a C5/C6 originally, but availability was horrible with market pricing. I mainly jumped on the Camaro due to the LS3/TR6060 combo and the dumb decision to finance(first and last time I finance a car). Next go round will be all cash. Whether that's a C5, C6, or 6th gen, or hell, maybe a ZL1 5th gen by that time. We will see how it goes the next few weeks. I have a buyer getting their money squared away this week.if all goes through I'll grab an SUV for my wife and wait until next summer to buy anything. |

Funny, Wayne and I were just talking about this last week. I am looking at C8s and MAN theyre fast and the ride is smooth....but I dont know if I can give up the drop top and the looks of this car because theres nothing out there like it! The Gen6 are just different to me, not bad, just different, and just dont do it for me, but my car, I feel like I'd regret getting rid of it. I sold my 72 Firebird when I was going overseas back in the early 90s and regret doing that to this day...now that I work from home, and drive my car purely for pleasure..yep, hard decision.

Yep I agree I’d take a different 5th Gen V8 car for each day of the week along with more of the same from the last real corvette… The C7… which is my favorite all time Vette, I don’t care for the C8 no matter how fast or good they handle. A huge part of my satisfaction with C5,C6, and C7 is how they can, and do beat far more expensive mid engine cars in a front engine platform at a bargain of a price compared to the competition. The C8 kinda just killed what I always was thrilled about in the Vette.

And I totally see the Mustang resemblance. My daughter's boyfriend has been hitting me hard on buying mine.
