Ya I guess but it just depends on which dealer you go to like this one dealership I went to go test drive a Camaro but the salesperson told me no because "only customers can drive the car" lmao you can bet your ass I never went back to that dealership.

Obvious answer here is Stingray but......not so fast! Its great you have the means to upgrade but that doesn't means you should. You've got a really nice new car already so just keep it. At 19 insurance is going to be really steep on a Stingray, trust me I know! Many years ago at age 21 I had a 2 year old 87 Corvette and insurance was outrageous, the car was lots fun but overall it was not the smartest thing I ever did. I'd suggest investing either in education, a home or start a Roth IRA and let it grow as nothing beats financial freedom later in life! Don't mean to be a downer and sorry to ramble on just trying to help!! Good luck in whatever you decide.

I can't call bs because I have honestly never even thought to ask. Very interesting.

A 200K priced sports car? you are young and have a life ahead of you. spending big bucks at your age for a ZL1 or stingray just seems silly. get your life, education, house in order first. just my opinion. you want what us "older" guys have been working so hard to get for years you want it now. you are lucky to just have a new camaro. be happy and satisfied and invest in YOU! good luck.

^^^This^^^. But if you really have to a stingray is a nice looking car with nice attributes. The ZL1 is actually the better all around car. I personally own a ZL1 and it is my DD 46k plus miles so far and very comfortable. And by the way, the stingray is only faster on paper (Proven Experience). So if you really had to ZL1 or Z06.

I'm currently attending ASU and majoring in Forensics and Criminology, my school is already fully paid off by my mother. Also living with my girlfriend in our own house in Scottsdale. So all that is already taken care of, that's the only reason I'm thinking about the upgrade.

My dealership offered to let me take my Camaro for 3 days before buying, I test drove instead and paid that day, it was a no brainer!

I don't live at home anymore, me and my girlfriend of 3 years have our own house, and school is already paid off, this is the only reason I'm even considering an upgrade.

Put the money into the stock market, play it right and get yourself a Lamborghini or if you cant wait 360 Modenas and Spider Ferraris are going for around 50k with 20k miles and lower

Also hear alot of people saying only 2 seats with the vette, my friend who has C5 has convinced girls to ride in his other friends lap or trunk before, ijs

Stingray!!!!!!!!!

SnowCamaro · 10-21-2014, 10:11 PM

You should worry about graduating and getting a career job before going and buying a sports car. I was in the Army for 8 years, graduated from ASU in 2006, and I recently got my MBA and I still feel lucky to have a job. My little cousin just graduated from ASU around 3 months ago with a mechanical engineering degree from ASU/pretty decent GPA too, he still can't find a job. My little brother is about to graduate from ASU and has no prospects. It's tough out there. Do yourself a favor and save your money and enjoy the car and situation that you have.

I seriously considered a Stingray until I sat in one. The interior is way too small for a daily driver unless you're built like a little girl.
