I think I understand what you're asking.

Chevrolets first cars were built in 1911.

The Hand Build Corvette began in 1953

The first Camaro was delivered in 1968

Corvette is the oldest lasting model member of the Chevrolet line, ie THE FLAG SHIP.

Corvette's more expensive. People should get better performance/mor prestige with more money spent.

I think it was just a rumor about the Corvette being sold as just a Corvette, and not a Chevrolet.

Either way, the Corvette has the prestige. Unfortunately for Camaro fans, there is something called a mullet that many people associate with the car.

a "flagship" brand is all about prestige, and price. seniority doesn't really enter into it.
"Comaro" is a car made by "Genrul Moters." They also make the popular "camero" as well.

I've lived in many places and the first time I've heard of mullets being associated with Camaros, is on this site. As far as I've seen Camaro's are owned by all types of people and it's stupid to associate it with only one of the smallest groups of f body owner's.

We associate mustangs with girls, others associate camaros with mullets. I hate to say it but there's a little truth in both.

Mullets are mainly associated with third gens I think.
