It depends on what you plan on doing with the car. If you are a drag racer, I'd be all over the f-body. If you were about sports car handling and balance, no quesion. Get the Corvette.

true, but everyone like's to have fun on the street's or just a fun weekend toy. I mean if money add's up to buying a stock Zo6 then I guess id go with a Zo6 if not then Id guess i go with a Camaro lol.
Either one is going to be fun on the street. What are you going to do with the car? Just drive it for fun? Of course a Z06 is going to be more fun. It is more car. Better handling, better brakes, better everything. The only down side to a Corvette is the independent rear suspension if you like to drag race. Even then, it works, it just doesn't work as good as a solid rear.
I had the same decision years ago. Everytime I saw a camaro I thought wow thats sweet. You see a nice vette and your like Wholly.. I knew the image and reputation a vette had and thats what I wanted. Anything can be faster just decide what you want and like.

I know that's the thing, Before I had my heart set on the 03-04 Mustang Cobra, for the domestic side, for the import side WRX Sti or EVO, I mean i really dont know which to get, I have yet to see the Insurance quote's on the Camaro, that's like my dream though to own a really fast car and to be notice'd lol. I mean I dont want to dump a crap load of money into a car that would cost as much as a vette or something along those line's you know. I am defintely gonna take one for a ride.
well the Z06 is pretty much a supercar built from the ground up, from frame to suspension, etc.. The Camaro and other f-bodies were not really built to be supercars (as in the ability to compete performance wise with $100k plus italian cars, etc).
Also in terms of drag racing, solid rears are better, but i have seen Z06s run 8 sec quarter miles...
Car wise you get more with the Z06...
Style wise is a different story; everyone has their own preference...
If you go the camaro route then what? Just enjoy your ride? What would the next mod be, or is the car "done".
I would think a Z, you can enjoy it from the start and then plan your mods that can keep you busy for years. Do adults drive Camaros/Trans Ams? Just kidding my first car was 87 GTA and I just sold it a few years ago and I am well into my adulthood
The Z comes with a family the Camaro comes with ?? If you join the local Corvette club you can be busy every weekend..

Corvette, I've had one since I was 17, you can buy other cars,but there is only one car to have..CORVETTE.. If you can get one do it!! or you can buy some other car and eveytime you see a Corvette you will say to yourself I could of had a Corvette..
you think If i went to a Chevy Dealer they would let me test drive an C5ZO6 or a C6ZO6. i want to see what its like to drive one of those, If not a ZO6 maybe a Z51?

I think they will let you test drive one if you look like a serious buyer. It might help if you bring an older guy (father?) with you to the dealership.
