I happen to like the camaro alot. Looks are completely subjective. But in my opinion. The camaro a G ride. Its the kinda car that says "u kno wat? I don't giv a fu*k!" I rented twice so far. 2SS/auto/moonroof. The 2SS is a nice car. I couldn't do a 1SS for nothin. Night and day interiors though I feel the 2SS can still use a few extra higher quality bits for its 36k-43k price tag. On my journeys in the camaro I got nearly 23 mpg's. Eibachs spring n sway set up has been proven to increase gas mileage by 13%. Eibach or KW3 suspensions dramatically increase performance on the camaro. In my opinion, the camaro is a great modders car. With true results after modding. Bolt ons alone bring the car from a 13 second car to a 11.9 second car on the quarter. As I mentioned before. Its biggest weakness is its incredible width. On the flipside it has impeccable handling so combine that with true driving skills and the camaro is a winner. It just needs the suspension mods "No Question".
As far as the vette. Its gotta be the GS. Any other base vette is worthless. The GS adds 4k to the price but pretty much gives it Z06ish handling. Kannibul if u go for the vette? Bust your butt on a GS deal. Oh see if u can rent one from hertz or an exotic shop. Spend a whole day in it. See if its really what you want before giving up the Z. In the long term, the Z may provide more overall fun???
The camaro and corvette are and definately will be very common cars. Exclusivity is overrated in the car world. I mean, nobody wants mustang commonality, but when something stirs your soul, you just gotta do it.
Slightly off the subject... what angers me about mustang is, they only update sheetmatal but keep raising prices on the car. They take the same engine and make the most minor of updates for like 20 years (up until 2011). And they still using live axle. I can't believe they get over 25k for a GT. Its ridiculous. 2011 is a much better car. But if the 2012 mustang has a live. Axle. Somebody please... blow up the plant. Lol.
No one blow up the plant. Its just a figure of speech. Lol
