I like the Camaro's powertrain...I just dont like the package its offered in and if you're going to spend 40 grand on a car, you better enjoy the ENTIRE package, which is what the Corvette offers. If you have 40+ grand for a car, you have 50 grand for a car. Simple as that.


The price difference between the Camaro and the competition is 4-5k *at most*.

The 1SS is *not* $40k. It's $37k. You are *not* buying a new corvette for $40k. You're not getting one for $50k, either. It's $56k.

Here's something that will blow your mind: They both have the same engine! So, to use your logic, you're paying an extra $19k for two less seats, less storage, and it's more or less unusable in the winter. What a piece of crap!

Anyway, I'm going to guess that you're pretty young and not terribly versed in credit and/or financing things. Looking at some of your past posts shows that your judgement may not be the best when it comes to credit.

There is a *world* of difference between financing a $37k car and a $56k car.
Example:

Camaro with $3700 (10%) down, 3.11% interest, 5 year financing: $600/mo.

Corvette with $5600 (10%) down, 3.11% interest, 5 year financing: $908/mo.

I don't know about you, but that extra $308 (51%!) a month is a pretty ****ing huge jump. As in, buy a second new small car for daily beater status jump.

But hey, what do I know? I bought a $30k truck, so I must be a millionaire.
