Default C5 Z06 or 98-02 Firehawk?

I'm in the market for buying a new car. Since I already have 3 Camaros, I think its time for me to get something else. I Just finished paying off my 98 Z28 so now Im going to have some extra money. Ive never owned a Trans Am or a vette before, So I thought I could still keep it at least in the GM family.

I do realize that my payments are going to be more than they were for my 98 Z though.

Just need other pepoles opinions about this subject. I'm still debating which one I should go after. Finding a Firehawk may not be too easy though! So I might compromise for a low milage WS6 T/A convertable. Which that may also be pretty hard to find, But thats about as far as I will go.

Hawk hands down. Better looking IMO, rarer, a true collector's car unlike the dime-a-dozen Corvette. I like Corvettes and all, but they are EVERYWHERE on the road. ZO6 or not, I hardly ever see a Firehawk on the road. I'd take a Firebird over a Corvette any day, but I'm biased

If you've got 3 Camaros,I'd just get a Vette.Though I do prefer the look of the hawk over the C5ZO6.

I'm going to keep my 3 other Camaros. I have a 94 Camaro 3.4L V6 for a daily driver.


This car will probibly recieve no more than an exhaust upgrade if its a Z06, and if its a firehawk, Then It will remain stock (will be worth more money that way in the future). If I get a WS6, Then that may be slightly modded.

A corvette will be faster, but a Firehawk will get more looks.
