2014 Camaro Refresh due to be unveiled at NY NAIAS

Cmike2780

I can't honestly think of a good reason anyone would pick a high powered Camaro, re-styled or otherwise, over a new Corvette Stingray. If they drop an LS7 in the Camaro, the price is gonna approach or exceed the Corvette. I doubt the unveal is going to be the new platform, so we're still talking about a relatively heavy car.

If you need a back seat?

If you drive friends and family around?

The Camaro is a more practical car, albeit slower.

The ZL1 doesn't need an LS7 to reach Vette moneys.

That said, a Corvette is the leading candidate to replace my Z in a year or two.

In the real world and not in unlimited income world... $20,000
Back seats may be useful as well as lower insurance due to back seats. Some people just plain old,ACTUALLY like GT's??? Maybe???

Redesign is a 2016 model. This is just a refresh. I clarified that in the primary post.

you know, my 2013 camaro 2SS insurance premium is lower than my 2010 370z nismo.
C7's insurance premium has got to be much higher.

rates for 6-months:

Not only that but Z insurance has been stagnant or has increased for most. Camaro has been lowered more over time than the Z.

Insurance rates vary by many many factors.

And this past summer, I got quoted for insurance with the idea of trading my Z in for a used Corvette Z06. The Vette was much cheaper to insure than the 370Z. I was amazed. Same type of car (rwd 2-seater), and the Corvette was lighter and 170hp faster than the Z, yet cheaper to insure.

perhaps it's because in general, z drivers are younger than Corvette drivers ?
someone told me WRX's insurance rates are quite high because of the young drivers.

I think that has a lot to do with it. Or perhaps Vette drivers park/live in nicer neighborhoods. Or perhaps the Vette's cheaper to insure because it's a domestic? I don't know. My STI is very pricy, too, although my Z is more expensive.
