Help convince me to dump my C6 and come on over to Camaro!
So, like most of you, I have "the disease" and like nice cars. Lately I have been lusting over the Camaro Vert and am seriously considering trading in my 2005 C6 coupe for a new Vert.
Obviously, if I wanted just fast, I would stick with the vette, but lately its been getting a little difficult to haul my fat @$$ out of the little rocket and I can't take my family out cruising in my vette. I know that the back seat is a joke in the Camaro, but hey, its MUCH better than the vette I am considering a 2lt-V6 but may up to a SS. Since there are no incentives, I am probably looking at waiting a few weeks for the 2013. i have been doing my homework and reading about the car. I had a VERY stripped hardtop in Vegas as a rental car, so I am good with the blindspots and size of the vehicle. Any words of wisdom? |

Get a vert SS and don't look back. If you go from a vette to a V6 as nice as they are you will miss the power....

Don't waste your money ordering the polished wheels. GM's version of polished isn't worth the extra. Put it towards a set of custom rims to make the car your own.

Also, you should be able to get one for well under the MSRP if you order it.

If you are not too tall consider the SS coupe + sunroof. Especially if you live where there is the white stuff.

If your rockin a vette now you aren't going to like a v6 I don't think. I feel you may be left wanting more. I'd suggest the SS. |

Agree with most. Think you would be disappointed with a v6 after the vette. However I personally like the polished over the painted ms wheels.
These words of wisdom from an Olathe HS grad (back when there was only 1 HS). |

This will not be a daily driver, just a toy.
I also have a 13 year old who will probably driving it in a year or so...so I have to remember that. |
