Lightbulb C5 Z06? Or 2010 SS..
I'm so torn between getting either a C5 Z06, Or a 2010 SS

Personally I'm looking for a vehicle in the 23k~ Price range and I've found cars on both ends for it,
But I'm so torn..
I'm absolutely in love with Corvettes and I always have been, but I am considering the Camaro simply because its newer..
What are your thoughts?

Always chase your dreams man! Get the vette! When it starts to age thats when the fun starts. Performance parts instead of stock and customizing the interior or exterior or putting it back to stock. Plus isn't that what LS1Tech is all about? Going fast and keeping these cars on the road! Good Luck with the decision!

My dad was in the same spot you are in, he got the C5Z and has never looked back.

Here is what could be?? His C5Z last year.

Z06. I'm guessing it is faster than the SS.

C5Z is faster, has more potential, along with better milage, resale, and handling

I have had many of every gen of F body except the 5th, loved them all but my 03 Z06 is just an amazing ride. It's a no brainer to me

C5 Z06 does everything better than the 5th gen over weight Camaro. Go with the Corvette.

C5Z brudda, it's a win win, as stated earlier lighter, faster, sexier, and fewer, = better resale value. On another note GxP G8 not bad either but north of budget
