I've owned both an LS1 F-body and a C5. The Corvette is a better car in every way, shape, and form.

How much $$$ are you looking to spend? Unless the vette has super high mileage, it would be at least a few grand more then the SS or WS6. I voted WS6, but if you have the money, go for the vette. They're nicer cars...

Again, I'd rather have the '01 SS out of that list.

Here is the best piece of advice that anyone can ever give you: Go drive one of each... then and only then, make a decision.

The Camaro and Trans Am will drive the same, assuming the mileage and care received are similar. The Vette will be quite different in braking and handling, though straight line power will be nearly the same. Only YOU can decide which you like better.

Consider appearance (inside and out) and road feel. Don't worry about what other's tell you that you "should" like, buy what makes you the most happy.

My post got yanked without a reason why. Let me rephrase my reply so as not to offend anyone again. I say go with the vette. Better long term resale value.
