I think that an orange looks better than an apple. I also prefer a Boeing to a helicopter. I also prefer smartphones over feature phones. I know people won't agree, but it's what I like.

They're both great designs, and for what they are, the best values in the muscle car category, period!
The Calloway C7 would be my 1st choice, if $$$$$$ wasn't a consideration.
Thankfully, my 2013 SS/RS Camaro, LS3, 6 speed manual, hurst short throw shifter, NPP, Mild to Wild, CAI
fits in a different price range, you know, the one I can afford.

and its just as fun to drive as my old C5 Corvette

Camaro just plain looks better than a Corvette no question, IMO. Not that a Corvette looks bad, by no means. I'd like to have one because they do fly, but when I see a Camaro, I just WANT to get behind the wheel. Not so with a Corvette.

Don't know why, but that's just the way it is.

camaro looks way better..
our camaros will always look good imho..just like the supra's still look badass 20 years on

Corvette > Camaro for me and probably always will be. I still love the look of Camaro's, but if I lived in a different part of the country, I'd have 2 Corvette's instead of 1 Vette and 1 Camaro.

I think the 5Gen Camaro is a handsome car.

But the new Stingray? Hot buttered sex.

1967 Camaro? Awesome!
1967 Stingray? I can't even say "1967 Stingray" without drooling.

I love my Camaro. But the Corvette has ALWAYS been an object to lust after. I'm just not old enough to buy one (I'm 60).

Funny you should mention the beltline - I have always felt that it was just a little too high, even when all we had were spy pictures to go on. Just a little lower, probably no more than an inch, and it would have had a lighter and more graceful look. Save the more thick-bodied look for the SS which is the true muscle car descendant (think Chevelle here).

That alone tips my vote to the Corvette, never mind that I'm more of a sports car guy with a need for decent power than a traditional muscle car guy with a yearning for sports car handling.

I like the stout muscle car look of the camaro over the sleek lines of the vette. I've never been a fan of the corvette. It's just not for me.

The feel of the interior with the high beltline is a GREAT part of what makes a Camaro, a Camaro. The 4th generation, even though it didnt have a high beltline, still gave you that sitting in a tank, Camaro feel to it. I love it.

WoodBoss · 08-06-2015, 11:49 AM

I like the Gen5 Camaro's looks much better than the Corvette. I would trade my Camaro for a more valuable Corvette than sell it and get a ZL1 Camaro.
