When I started reading the reviews of the Gen 6 Camaro it looked like the best compromise. Similar performance (Vette will always have the edge, but for road use the Camaro is definitely good enough) - A8 gearbox to cope with traffic and some semblance of rear seats for short outings with the family.
I only did 2,300 in 18 months in the Vette. I loved the car but it wasn't the right car at the right time for me. The Camaro has 90% of the performance and 1,000% more practicality for me and my family.
It was an easy switch.
Of course a limitless bank account and large garage would accommodate both :-)

To be honest, I love the Camaro, the performance, the aggressive mean front end, the muscular back end but if I had to choose, it would be a REALLY tough choice and I would probably go with the C7. Never owned a Vette before and being single with no kids, the Vette would work!
Buttttt.... having a sports car-esque that reeks muscle car is having the best of both worlds with this 6th Gen SS! Love reading all the stories here!
