    Question Corvette People -VS- Camaro People

    I have a 2002 SS, but I am getting into my 40's now so I may have to get a new ZR1 instead.

    I just enjoy this forum so much, I am scared to look at the vette forums to see if they are down to earth and nice as "we" are.

    Anyone have any insight?

    Also, if the vette guys are nice too, can someone give me 100K for the ZR1? (Or just give me the car, blue if you have it).

    I don't have 100K but it I'm a member on the corvette forum and they all seem really nice.

    I know that vette guys wave at each other like they are in a club, even if they don;t know each other. When I wave at Camaro / FBird people, they look at me like I am insane.

    Oh, I am insane, that might explain it.

    I think no matter how you slice it - in general - you have jerks in every single "camp" - that's just the way it is. I'd say most of the time, the majority of folks on each brand specific forum are pretty "nice" as long as their egos and brand loyalty don't get in the way.

    Dumping 85K into a GTO would yield a pretty wicked car - but it'd still be a GTO.

    That ZR1 is probably the most exciting, cool & most powerful car to come out of Chevrolet (arguably ever).........since I can't remember.......

    go look over in the GTO section, a couple of guys just hit 9.15 in the quarter with a FI goat
    and yes the ZR1 is an amazing car, but I know I'll never be able to afford one

    I'd say about half the GTO drivers I wave at wave back

    Around here, other T/A wave, flash lights give a rev, and some will even bark there tires a bit when they see other T/A... Camaros don't show much love... Corvette's wave though, but not much.

    I have both, not a Z06, just a standard M6. My Camaro gets a lot more looks, but my Vet gets more respect. Locally the Vet guys all wave, but the F body guys are douches. They all wanna race each other, and most are stock.


    Great Site, mostly older guys with lots of money and willing to share knowledge as well---> http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/

    Most of the Corvette owners I've come across have been very nice and when I still frequented corvetteforum.com, they were nice there overall. Your $100k IOUs in the mail today.

    All the Corvette guys i know are nice as hell but there are still a few out there that have the Corvette Syndrome. Its a Corvette you cant beat it. No amount of arguing will disprove it to them and they can be as bad as ricers with excuses if ya beat em on the road.

    i think it depends on the arena...everyone on here is gear heads, so most share view points and beliefs, so they get along and are nice, usually. But out in public, a bunch of rich pricks buy vettes. not so much with camaros, we have our own issues to deal with. but said rich pricks probably wouldnt be on a site like this.

    Every single type of car has many drivers who believe that. It isn't restricted to certain types.

Now when i'm in one of the old mopars, gets lot of waves, thumbs up, etc...
