I vacationed in Hawaii and I kept thinking about how pissed I would be if i had to live there. There are no open roads to drive a corvette on.lol I think I hit 55 MPH once in 10 days.

The corvette is twice the car as the camaro stock vs stock IMO. Do it and dont look back.

I did have an 87 Iroc 5.7 TPI for a while in the earily 90s, Mustangs kicked my ***. I just traded my 96 WS6 M6 T/A on an 01 Vett and the it rides better than the T/A and is a much more rounded car, it does all things well. It is more comfortable to me also. Stops, and handles much better. Do it and you will be happy. With the right bolt ons it will be a bad *** just like the Camaro. If you want to ride people around get a Charger SRT/RT.

You wont regret your choice. The corvette is the most fun I have ever had in a car. It just screams class and power from every aspect. Trust me once you have been bitten by the vet bug, you will never look back.

just made the switch 2 weeks ago... i sure do miss the camaro as the vette needs some work. the tranny is defintely different, you sit A LOT lower, easier to work on, looks better in cases, gets chicks, and it still has all the same power and much more.
