Hey guys....u helped me out of the jet ski decision......but the real question is. Do I trade the ws6 in now for the 02 blk/blk c5 or wait and trade it in for the new camaro? Just trying to see what you guys think when u put these two up against eachother!

Go with the new Camaro, the C5 is old, and you're T/A has nearly the same performance as the vette. It's only another year...

We better support the new product or it will last about as long as the new GTO did. GM is kind of fickle about model commitment.. The new Camaro is going to have to be priced 25-30k less than the Vette in order to hit the targeted buyer. So when it comes out new it will be a better buy than a used Vette. That's just my opinion.

I figure its going to be around 30 just like the GTO........besides what do you guys think a 02 c5 is worth with that many miles, being auto?

I would say around 20ish + or- some. With that many miles its not really not a "collectors vette" its more of a DD and is 7 years old. Now if the miles were lower I would say it would be worth more, but since you can get a new C6 for around 40ish I just dont see the C5's holding there value that good anymore although there still sweet cars.

Hold on to the TA. Get the new Camaro if you want a new car that bad. If not the new Camaro just get a vette later you'll have more money in a year anyway.

An 04 z06 is a much better car and those can be had in the high 20's right now. That would be my choice over an 09 Camaro.

i would wait, I'm not going to buy an 09 camaro, i'm going to buy one if they are only making them for a year but if not i'm going to wait for about 2-3 years to let them get the bugs out. i would wait and get the camaro if i was in your shoes though

There is no C5 in the world that I would pick over the '09+ Camaro design.

Now, if it's C6 vs 5th gen Camaro, that might be a different story, but as for the C5 vs '09 Camaro, I'd take the Camaro any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
