The Corvette will be more reliable, faster, and safer than an older Camaro.

Avoid the 2005 and get a 2006 or 07.

71 split bumper with a Hotchkiss suspension front and rear and a LS7 with a Tremec 6 speed. All the power you will ever want (if not there's plenty more there with small changes) and will handle better than a C6

Don't forget the cigarettes and chest and neck tattoos. 

Hell, go for a sleeve.


I have the chest tattoo and both arms sleeves, but I don't smoke.

Somebody with tattoos dick your girl down or something? Why the hate?

So a hopped up Camaro with the important bits from said C6 Z06? Just buy a fricking Corvette. Jesus.

Probably. The fact that she's so young and doesn't have any tattoos keeps me straight.

I can build the 71 for a lot less and it's a much better looking car. Jesus.

is dumb.

The 383 stroker is easily pushing 375-500 hp. It's not slow by any means, especially when put in the right car.

They are pretty hard to find. The ones that I have found lately are in the 70-90k mile range.

First year of the C6.

Look on the for sale ads in Corvete Forum. Beware the mods, they are a bunch of pissy old men.

I'm sure 25K is doable, but that's gonna be a real high-mileage car. :

I'm not the one that has trouble between a C6 Z06 and a 4th gen Camaro.

If that's not slow, you don't know what fast is. Probably why you're comparing a 4th gen to a Z06.

So you think considering multiple options is dumb. Gotcha.

Well now that I know which elementary grade level you're on, I'll let our little chat die off.
