Default Corvette or Camaro: Which is better?



Pfadt customers typically fall into two categories: Corvette or Camaro enthusiast. We know what they are both capable of....but which one would win in a race? Which one looks better? Which one is a real muscle car? Which one would win a a Tug-O-War?

Click on the your favorite car above and "Like" your choice to show your support.

Lets get CorvetteForum members on board to show Camaro owners they do NOT run the streets!

By just being a Fan of Pfadt, you will be able to see the EXCLUSIVE discount code that will only be good for a limited amount of time. The vehicle with the most "likes" will have 5 people picked at random to receive an extra $100 coupon code valid for website orders!

unbelievable.

what does this have to do with tech?
It seems that the vendor wants to:

I do wish that vendors would not abuse their posting ability. I'm also tired of seeing sales ads in the tech and general sections. Oh well I guess

I had two new 68 Camaros (an SS and a Z-28) before I could afford my new 70 LT-1 Vette.
Now, 40 years and serveral Corvettes latter I still have the LT-1 and no regrets. I have thought about a camaro for the wife, after all we do need something to drive in the winter when the Vettes are put away!

Vette of course. Back in the day, the Camaro was just the girls version of the Firebird!

Hey everyone! Glad to see such response from the Corvette community on this contest! It seems the Corvette is in the clear lead. Even Camaro forum members are voting for it.

This is really just meant as a fun, quick, exercise to say thank you for our loyal Corvette customers! Thanks everyone!
