New Vette or Keep Modding the Camaro

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
