New Vette or Keep Modding the Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

rolac79 · 07-29-2014, 06:56 PM

Need some honest input here. I really like the new Stingray and am waiting to see pricing on the Z06 later this year but have dumped a ton of $ on my ZL560 Camaro. I am limited as to what I can add now since I still have a warranty from SLP until 2016, can't cam it or touch the engine anymore. I'm at 616 rwhp 584 trq which is plenty, but am getting that itch for something new. I could spend another $12 to $20k and get the car to 850+, so the question is what would you do?

Stingray and when the 2016 camaro comes out you'll have a new favorite.

While I do love the Camaro, the new Vette is Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

notmidlife · 07-29-2014, 07:00 PM

Corvette, absolutely no question.

Why not leave the Camaro where it's at, pay it off and get something else. Two awesome cars is always better than one.

Keep the camaro a dd and get a c6 Z06 (08-09). Kinda what I did and I have the best of both worlds

Agree with this. If you can, have both. If you really want the new one, then go for it but if you just want a corvette, I say keep both. Myself wants to do this. Just gotta wait until timing is right. Plus it seems like your Camaro is unique so by dump it? If u can afford both, do it.

^THIS.

Stingray, no hesitation at all.

If I could bring myself to do it (monetarily) it would already be done.

I LOVE my Camaro, but the Corvettes have always been my dream car.

TommyTheCat · 07-29-2014, 07:11 PM

i like the new corvette more than than the 2010-2015 camaros appearance wise

performance wise you're always better off with a vette..
keep the maro get the vette too

JAX CAMARO · 07-29-2014, 07:11 PM

I believe he mentioned a new vette, and why would you want anything but with those looks ?

Bulldog3071 · 07-29-2014, 07:11 PM

Get the vette I plan on picking up a used one in a year or two, I'm going to let someone else take the depreciation hit

maddoggyusa · 07-29-2014, 07:27 PM

the way everybody is talking and wanting that Z06, it will be at least $10-20k over sticker that first year. if you're not on a list NOW, you probably won't get one.
