I know people will pick apart the price difference, but please check yourself. Some people just want a toy, and while a loaded 2SS convertible, a C7, and a GT350 don't fit your idea of being "in the same arena" regardless of price, configuration, or "use", they are to some in broad categories of just being "high performance toys". That's it, just a toy to tickle a fancy. If you don't get that, you're either a diehard fanboy, or just want to be stubborn and disagree with someone who doesn't hold your opinion.

So I started looking at what else was available in that price range. Obviously that brought in GT350 and C7's.

I'm not a track guy, and my wife isn't fond of really loud cars, so I ruled out the GT350 no matter how cool the track star status is.

For me it's down to C7 and 2SS convertibles, with Wifey, God bless her, leaning towards a C7.

EDIT: Some of you are very hung up on pricing. Please remember, some of us aren't.

But the ones that don't care are not the majority of buyers that will not keep this car in production. The ones that are like myself who can afford it but won't pay the price for a Camaro will cause this car to fail. This is just like what caused the end of the 4th gen there is better options out there for 45 to 50. GM built a nice track car but 90% of its buyers dont care about how fast it goes around a track I don't. Listen the car is awesome inside fantastic outside still think the 5th gen looks better but still nice. I see guys on here ordering cars and skipping on options because they can't afford it just to have one to me that's a shame
