Default Which would you pick?

Rare 2002 SLP Camaro SS Anniv edition (stock 345 hp) with only 2800 miles, or a 2002 Vette, 6 speed, HUD, etc and 20K miles.

Camaro: link

Vette: link

Vette is representative of a lot of cars out there, and maybe even better deals could be had, although this one is particularly nice. I think both prices are probably somewhat negotiable also.

I would go for the Camaro - priced right, mileage is great, and it is one of x Camaro's.

Then, after you have the Camaro, get a Vette for driving - it will be better than the Camaro

The Camaro is a nice car, but I'd be all over the Corvette.

Default about the corvette

I would get the vette. It holds its value better and grabs allot more attention especially red ones with the top off. I had allot of success with my vette, runs great, very fast, and grabs looks all the time. But for $24,000 I would shop around for a z06 405hp car, you will be allot happier.

If the vette is in good condition, that looks like a killer price on it. If he didn't drop a dime, still looks very cheap to me. No question, get the vette.

Now think about this for a second….where are you asking a question about a Camaro vs a Vette? My unbiased answer is the Vette!!!
