Took my daily driver in for service today and in the garage was a new Corvette, not even a Z06, the guy started it up to move it and OH MY GOD, Now that is how an engine should sound, Had the quad tips don't know all the details, but once again I feel like I am driving the poor man's Corvette!!!

Corvette's are awesome, no doubt. But than again, they are just the poor man's Ferrari...

Yup always the poor man's something out there. Just love what you drive and be content with that.

As much as I love the all corvettes, I'm more of a Camaro guy.

Are non-npp vetts quad tip? If not the npp exhaust definitely sounds better compared to the original exhaust. I like corvettes but the camaro is more practical for me.

Have enjoyed both Corvettes & Camaros over the years ... fortunately I'm now in a position in my life where I don't have to choose one over the other

JaniMaks · 02-27-2016, 08:44 AM

Ohh brother lets go there, i was thinking way too much about the Vette these past months (winter months), but then the weather changed and i took my car out. Ahh what a joy.

Got my MRT 2 and VTC, will be installed in a few days, i think that would do for a couple of years, until the itch starts again.

meh. every 50y/o and his brother is driving around in a vette. Most of them don't even know what 3k rpm feels like.

I'm a die hard Corvette guy. However, at 7' tall, the C7's are not my friend. C1-C6 I could still fit well enough, C7 not so much. I'll keep my 5th Gen and be happy even though the C7 is a BEAST! Now if we were talking a 1967 Corvette fastback with a L88 427 and 4 speed, I couldn't pass that up.

Ok, I didn't create the notion but there's always been a bit of, old, bald, under-endowed connotation with a Corvette driver. I have it on good authority that's not the case with Camaros.
