That's the way to go Mario...and with our Houston weather, you can drive either of them all year. Any of them your favorite or "go to" vehicle?

True sir (on the weather part). My favorite is the Z06 tbh bc it turns aot of heads but has headers and exhaust. The next in line is the Zl1 obviously lol. My ctsv and f150 are pretty much a toss up and both are boring. I'm going to sell both of those and buy a used trackhawk hopefully soon.

I am lucky enought to own both cars as well. The Camaro is a whole lot of fun. The Recaro seats are more comfy than the seats in my Corvette, but I ordered the vette to my specs and picked it up at the museum so it is my baby.

Beautiful Cars!!!! I would love to have a Vette but for where i live and wife with her back seat for daughter its impossible. More power to you all who have both. Wish one day i can get there and be more successful...

I was approximately 10 years old when the C5 Corvette debuted, and I instantly fell in love with it! I loved it so much that I started reading books about Corvette history, and I became a young enthusiast of all Corvette generations. In my early 20's I owned a 2001 Corvette coupe but sold it because it wasn't practical for me to own at that time. Fast forward to today, however, and I actually like Camaros more than Corvettes, which is something I never thought I would say!

Nice pic Joe. You guys are making me want to toss my idea of obtaining a Honda CBR1000RR out the window.

Thanks, my bike days are over. I got rid of my 2017 Suzuki GSX S1000F ABS and 16 Scat Pack Challenger to pick up the Camaro. The bike only had 400 miles on it

I'm just not into bikes at all. I rather have 2 or 3 badass cars then a car and a bike.

I understand...the cars were to keep me away from the dangers of a bike.

The low close to the ground driving position of the Corvette is amazing beside its lightweight feeling, amazing jet style cockpit interior and its exterior an amazing mix between an exotic sport car or the batmobile, a beautifull design that turns many heads with thumbs up, a home run design by GM.
The Camaro a very practical muscle car with an easier and practical seating position. It's very common to see a Camaro on the street (except the ZL1 or 1LE models), the only thing that they share is the engine and automatic transmissions, very different cars, for different customers.

Camaros have better cooling designs for their powertrains, a newer and better developed chassis compared to the older designed C7s chassis, and the Camaros still are the best sport car for the money.

The only car that I dared to replace my loved 5th gen Camaro ZL1 was the Corvette C7 design, I wasn't attracted to the Shelby GT350 even after the test drive or after comparing the exterior and interior of my ZL1 to the newer 6th gen SS design. But I have to admit that the 6th gen Camaro is a great performer on the track. And probably based on track's performance, a Camaro SS 1LE would be very similar to a Stingray Z51, it would be a driver's race.

Maybe my future car would be a 6th. gen ZL1
