First off they are completely differnt cars with a different market.

Vette/Z06 = supercar/sports car, with exclusiveness at an afforable price considering what it does.

Camaro = sports coupe, that is made to be an affordable fun car for the everyday guy.

The Vette is the flagship car of GM and American Sports Cars whereas a Camaro is an American Ponycar that will unfortunately always be second fiddle the Mustang nameplate due to history, global recognition and sales over the course of 40+ years. And don't get me wrong I am a Chevy Camaro guy not trying to knock the Camaro, I like it alot more than th Mustang as far as looks. But the only thing a Camaro has on a Vette is ride comfort for everyday driving or long trips. Although my 2011 C6 GS with Magnetic Ride is night and day more comfortable than my '08 Vette w/o Mag Ride for everyday driving or long cruises.

I have had noth cars and i realize we are on a Camaro forum but don't knock the guy for buying a Z06. I mean it is still a GM car and a car that most of us could only dream of having!
AMEN! They didn't call the Camaro "the Poor Man's Corvette" for no reason. The day the Vette goes away is the day Chevy follow's Pontiac's path into oblivion. (see Pontiac History thread in other topics with video link)
