Total newbe Never owned a Camaro.
In fact have only owned 4 cars in my life to date and only one of them was brand new.
I live on a small island that I can't even drive a Camaro on...you would never get out of second gear on the streets anyway, but cars are restricted on engine and body size.
My wife and I made the decision to buy a house in Florida recently and this provided me with the opportunity to finally get the car of my dreams.
I was considering something really expensive and had sort of settled on a Maserati GT, mainly because I like the look and the fact that it has 4 seats. That was the plan.
A couple of weeks ago I was in Florida dealing with the house purchase and in doing so happened to drive past a Chevy dealer. There were rows of Corvettes, but then out of the corner of my eye I spotted the 2010 Camaros. I almost rear ended the car in front of me as I gawked from the driver seat of the horrible little SUV renter. I'll be honest...didn't even know it was a Camaro...had to pull a Uie to find that out.
I have spec'd out my new 2010 Camaro and plan on driving it off the lot in July. I haven't actually ordered it yet, still hanging on the fence about options. I post on another bulletin board based in the US, full of a bunch of reprobate flight sim enthusiasts but generally a bunch of great people, one of which recommended I post over here. Given all the amazing info I have learned on BBS' and all the people I have even met in real life as a result...here I am.
You will need to blame Blue's_Z28 for this.

Glad you are finally able to get the car you want (or at least able to drive the car you want). However, I would get a Corvette over the Camaro if I were you. I'm assuming since you were considering a Maserati you can afford the Vette 
If I lived in Florida I would want a sports car with a removable or convertible top and the Camaro is only available with a sunroof 
Or wait until they come out with the convertible Camaro. That's my opinion but good luck with whatever you decide.

I was so gonna buy one when the convert. came out but My TA came along and I'm happy with it but some day I'm gonna have a black convert sittin right beside my Pewter TA :>)

Bermuda.
As to the Corvette, a few people I have spoken to suggested the Corvette over the Camaro. Problem is, I have 3 kids. If I want to take 2 of them with me to the mall, or a movie, or wherever....I'd have to drive the minivan.
