For some context, I am deciding between a camaro and a corvette and read that the corvette under body has composite body panels that are resistant to corrosion so I figured I would find out if the camaro under body was similar.

P.S. I know many of you are probably cringing at the thought of either a camaro or corvette being driven in snow, but I would rather have a sports car and drive it year round than not at all.

No cringe whatsoever, I lived in northern NJ with 4 months of winter each year, and many drove their Camaros in rougher weather, too. Since this is my forever Camaro, I decided not to do that, but the wife has a 2016 Traverse (so another GM vehicle) as a daily, and the salt and brine did a number on its underbody.

It's definitely not as bad as a car from the 90s or early 2000s, the underbody is protected, but wherever the coating got damaged from road debris, rust has started on the frame.
