Oh maybe go check out a ZR1 and see how your current Vette compares to that. Not a fair comparison is it? Thanks for the opinion though. If we all agreed it would not be any fun.
Base is $30,995 for the Camaro SS, makes it even harder to compare these 2 cars.

To OP

Expectations of a $31k base are way too high IMO. If you don't like it then you don't like it but making statements that just aren't relevant helps no one out. Also you mention that you have owned 2cd, 3rd and 4th gen Camaros and state that this 5th gen is nothing like them accept for wearing the same badge. Nevermind the fact that the 5th was inspired by the 1st gen Camaro, this car is screaming Camaro all the way through. You no like the 1st or the 5th, fine, but you cannot tell me that this car does not say Camaro accept only in badge. Get real! I hope you find what you need, but it sounds to me your options will be very limited!

To each their own.

Over the last few years while I was waiting for the Camaro to become a reality I decided I would get a little something to pass the time. First I looked at the 2006 Z06 Corvette. WOW, awesome car, great technology but...... Not for me. Then over to the Shelby GT500, nope. A quick look at the Challenger, Dodge, nah. Then back to a 2009 Z-06 well.... I'm just not a Corvette guy. To each their own. Good deals on the Vette right now though and thanks for freeing up a Camaro for others.

He says interior was poor for him and trunk was small. All you guys can say is HP HP HP!!! My point is some people buy cars for more than just HP
Than if you are buying a car for MORE than HP maybe this is not the right car. But for cars with the big HP outputting engines, you will not get the fancy Audi interior at $35, you will at $45K like a Vette. And with the fancy audi interior, you get a so so engine with 220 HP pushing a lot of weight.

Point is in this class (Mustangs, Challengers, Chargers) at $35K this is what you get. I happen to like the clean slate look because I like to personalize it and make it unique anyway. So I would rather plain and simple. I have been in this car many times and drive and rent many cars, like a G37 last week. There are things in all cars I like and dislike. Look at the Challenger, for $45K you get the same interior as the 300M...wasn't that car like $30K.

I didn't expect the car to be a corvette, because its not, nor is it priced like one. However, comparing it to other cars in its class, I don't think it holds up. I've owned an 04 GTO, an 06 and 07 Mustang GT and a c5z06 along with all the f-bods. I can honestly tell you the quality of the interior isn't half of what the GTO was and I can say its about in line with whats in the 05-09 mustang, not the new stang. The challenger has better seats and interior components compared to the camaro. Go and look for yourself. Yeah, the car has 426 hp, and that is awesome, but that isn't everything. My GTO was 400 hp and I hated driving it. I had more fun driving the Mustang GT. I know a lot of people have been waiting for this car, and I have been one also. Look at what I wrote and go see for yourself. I'm sure they will be at least a few people that will feel the same way. A lot of people haven't even had a chance to drive one yet. It just would have been nice to sit in the car and feel like I'm in a Camaro. Go and drive it.. If I'm wrong, that's great and enjoy your car. It is a fabulous car, not perfect, and it just wasn't for me. I would pay the extra 7k for a vette, or seriously go look at a Challenger or Mustang. I wasn't trying to start a thread war, just wanted to voice my 2 cents.

I wasn't bashing him, I was bashing you for using that "defenders of the Camaro" line. You are not giving us people who actually LIKE the interior any respect. It is not the first time we disagree, I am sure it will not be the last......you damn jersey guys.

Well here is the truth there are things I like and dislike about every car except maybe a ferrari F430 JESUS I LOVE THAT CAR LOL , so in the end if the person who decides any of the above don't or do fit its personal preference. I would tell you why I chose different, but I would get banned again for bringing it up. (HINT: It's not the interior)
