I think Vette's are cool and test drove a base C7 before getting my SS. What I didn't like about the Vette:
1-Noisy on the freeway, tons of tire/road noise.
2-Targa top kind of worthless. The wind buffeting with the roof off is really bad. They also tend to squeak over time.
I just can't see spending the $ on a C7 GS, when you can get a ZL1 for that and have a more comfortable car.

It is yet to be determined whether the C8 will be improved w/r/t tire and wind noise, but yes I agree with you about wind noise in the camaro... my Z vert has relatively very little wind noise at highway speeds. I think a lot of it, particularly tire noise, has to do with the higher belt line in the camaro.
The C8 won't be available for ~6 months. It and the ZL1 cost more. You can get a GS at a pretty good discount right now.
