Thats what Im saying, hold out, you know someone is going to pay what you want, so dont get pushed around. The Camaro is nice looking and low low milage, I hope someone grabs it up. C6's are worth it all, lucky you may be getting the LS3

I would never sell my camaro for $7500... NEVER. Thats like giving it away. I would keep the camaro and buy the vette. Keep the vette pretty much stock to daily drive or just cruise around in and mod the crap outta the camaro to race.

All I know is I would rather have my SS any day over a Vette. No denying their prowess, but its not my style. I drove a few, even a couple nice C5 Z06s...but I still went with the SS. I say keep that sweet looking Z and mod it up.

Id keep the Z28. For the ptice difference, you can do a TON of things to the camaro and have it run faster than the corvette. If you have the money get a procharger, 9 inch rear, stall, full bolts and a safe tune. 500rwhp with some sticky tires will put you in the 10's. Im not a big fan of vettes, just the motors they put in them.

If you just want to drop panties, buy the Vette. Otherwise, keep the Z28.

i by no means say that the vettes are a bad car. i think there pretty badass (the Z06) but if i had the 70K for one i would just end up buying an F-Body and putting the rest of the money in to it and having a full on drag car for that price. the vette is just a cool car to have, and worry about non stop and never feel safe anywhere in it. where as in these cars if something happens it not nearly as much to fix it and you can do all the same things performance wise a vette can, you just start with a little less horse.

WTF...Another one of these threads to rip Vette owners? Don't most here know that most Vette owners on here came from F-body's and are not your normal stereotypical Vette owners. Keep the sweet Camaro so you don't become a stuck up ***** like me. WTF

I dont have to get panties to drop, one ride in my Z and they melt off

you will always be able to get vettes a couple years old from the newest and they'll be awesome cause they'll never stop making them
our cars are gone
there will never be anymore like ours,thats a gorgeous car man keep it

You would be the first. Actually I have offered to my friends but they are scared they will do something to it and have to watch me cry. No problem though since you gave it a compliment.

Yeah quote is from Tombstone. Favorite movie of all time. I call the Vette the pale horse. Well mostly when I'm drinking.

I wish I was rich enough to put down the $45K for the Vette, but I'm not. I also don't have the room for 4 cars, I already own 3. I have to sell one, and it's got to be one of the f-bodies.

When I'm rich, I'll have a collection. Not today though.
