I know you all know...but the reason you see mostly old guys in 'vettes, is that when we're younger and don't yet have kids, we can't afford one. When we're a few years older, two-seaters aren't really practical...darned kids need a back seat, even though we may still be drooling over the 'vette that we may now be able to afford. The retired guys have the money, have lost their need for all those seats (kids gone), and also have the $ for the car. I'm almost to Corvette age (though want a Ford GT), but still need those extra seats...

Ouch, that hurts! I haven't driven a C6. The one thing I did notice when I drove a new Camaro, is that it was harder to get into and out of than my Corvette. The Camaro is a really nice car. However, I'm buying a Camaro so that I will have something to drive on the days when the weather isn't nice enough to drive my Corvette. |

I test drove a 08 vet right before i bought my 2010 SS the vet was awesome but i couldnt see driving it every day as this is my DD (i had a 92 vet it got old driving it everywhere) Also maybe its just me but i found the interior of the vet boring when compared to the retro styling of the Camaro. I went to the dealer dead set on a vet until i saw my inferno SS and drove it and decided it was the better car for me personally. Just about everyone who knows me thought the Camaro was a better fit more of a Muscle Car then a sports car like the vet, im 6'2 220 i look a little funny getting out of the vet

Going out tomorrow to drive another Camaro SS, the salesperson I am dealing with is going to let me and wife take one out for a little while to see what she thinks! After that I am going to sit down with her and try to find out what they know on the 2013 1LE's, doubt much yet but want to get on the "list" when they do find out.. Hope the weather cooperates so we can have some fun!! Gary |

I liked the Camaro more than the Vette.
Although I am very tempted to go for a ZR1 next to the Camaro... |

For me it was solely by choice. Although I like corvettes and I could have afforded one new (thank God), I really was in love with the camaro of my choice. There are advantages and disadvantages with both the Camaro and the Corvette; One really needs to know what he/she expects from their car purchase before deciding on a model.

I almost traded my 1LE for a Stingray. I had the approval.
But after driving the C7, although it drove great, I preferred my 1LE. Not a fan of the new look I do not think it will wear well over time. Although there is much more to a car than looks, it is a factor. C6 is better looking in my book. A C6 GS might be my next daily driver once I get done spending $$ on my 1LE.
