personally i like the look of the new Camaro, but i don't think i could give up my Corvette for one. 
if anything i would consider a newer Vette before i went with a Camaro... still, i like what Chevy has done to improve the line of performance cars available from them.

Heh. When I was a kid it was "Boy, some day I'm going to own that '69 Mach 1 Mustang with the Shaker and 351 Cleveland."
Saved for two years. Mom said no. Then, right before she passed away, she told me she regretted that decision.
So I went out and got a new Mustang, thanks mom.

Never liked the 1st gen Camaro, and don't much like it's modern reincarnation either. Now the '71-'73 era cars, IMO, really looked good. If I wanted/needed a 2+2, I guess the Hellcat would be tempting - but it's pricey.

One of my co-workers has one of the new generation Camaros. I pulled up behind him one afternoon, and he said my C5 made his look like an SUV..
I'd much rather have my C5, although, I do like the look of the new Camaros. Just like my C5 a LOT more!

I'm intrigued. Based on the numbers I've been reading and it looks like it's as fast as a stock C5 Z06 was. The automatic is supposed to run a 12.3@116! Pretty darn quick for a Camaro. Definitely think the '16 looks better than the '15. And I like the new '15 Mustang GT too. Both nice cars. They are certainly coming a long way from the old days.

A wannabe what? You really think Chevrolet would build a car to compete with another Chevrolet? And what's the real thing? Camaro isn't a sports car.

I like the looks of the new Camaro's [and Mustangs to]. Lot of bang for the bucks. Granted a new vette is much better [imo] but out of reach for many. I do like my c5 z06 better, but wanted a real 2 seat sports car with power.

Not unless it has been significantly improved from last year. I sat in one and found it cramped, claustrophobic, very poor visibility, low rent interior (yes, even compared to my C5). The Camaro isn't even close to being in the same league as a Corvette, regardless of what the specs say on paper.
