Vette tires are run-flats=expensive+ directional=can't rotate front to rear or side to side (without dismounting=pain in the butt).Conclusion =another disadvantage except for the wealthy.

and about the vette atitude it just depends on the people iv met more then enough nice vette owners when i was driving around in the camaro - it just depends on the person you run into. most people just dont know alot about there own cars soo of corse some 40 year old that just bought a vette from the dealer because it looks nice is gonna look down at a camaro or trans am because he has no idea what they have in there and what they can doo.

That's what I would think of too, except when they start to make remarks like, "You're just a kid (I'm 20), what do you know about these cars? Nothing." Kinda beats ya down huh. I've met more ricers with better attitudes than vette owners.

thats just because you had more balls then him - not many people would push there car around to its limits or wanna risk getting hurt

**02z28ls1** · 10-08-2005, 03:59 AM

or the vette sucked and the Camaro ruled

**skar** · 10-08-2005, 05:16 AM

For a nice day only cruiser I would go with the vette.
If it was my only ride go with the SS

i say...steal both of them and which ever one gets you farthest away from the cops, keep that one..

**bww3588** · 10-08-2005, 04:50 PM

your all forgetting the most important thing. F bodies and vettes are the baddest cars chevrolet ever produced. regards to the chevelle but it wasent made past what 74? but it all comes down to what YOU like. not what every joe on the www thinks about either. i say sit the cars side by side, drive both, romp on both, then take a day or two to think it over and decide. remeber folks, vette=chevrolet camaro=chevrolet. one way or another your getting a damn nice car that not much on the street can touch.

they technically never stoped making the chevelle, it was cinsidered a Malibu also, so anyway that you take it i guess.

yeah but what happend to the 'bu? it turned into the montecarlo. or the carlo was modeled after it. and the 'bu became a family type car after 74 or so anyways. the only true pony/muscle cars to make it through chevrolets ups and downs was the camaro and 'vette. the 'bu was a joke anyways after the chevelle tag droped off it.

but your right its anyway you take it. the only thing left now is the 'vette.

**Zboner** · 10-11-2005, 12:18 PM

yep i agree it did turn into a joke, i auctually think the chevelle name was not droped till lik 77ish, it was turned into the Chevelle Languna or something, i couls be wrong though.

and thats sad that the vett is the only one left, and way out of mosts peoples price range.

you don't need handling to run a 1/4 mile strip

its very sad, and it took writing this to realize how sad it was. i mean chevrolet was on top of the muscle car game all the way till 2002. when they lost the camaro it was over. nothing left to compete with the mustang. from day 1 in 1967 the camaro was a born 'stang killer. and it seems like chevrolet just gave up when they had ford by the balls. in 2002 the only mustang that could outrun the Z28 or SS was the 45k Cobra R. and it took a supercharger on a DOHC motor to make what the SS can make with headers and in intake on a pushrod motor.

You can't go wrong with the Vette. i have a 99 WS6 Trans Am, my buddy has a 2000 Vette; The ride is like night and day. My car actually has a little more power, but his car rides like a Caddilac compared to mine. If I had a choice I'd take the Vette.
