How many of you have graduated from a Camaro/Firebird to a Corvette?

I still have my '88 IROC-Z. It's hard to get rid of it when it still looks and runs great.

Besides it helps keep the miles off the Vette.

Quit smokin in March of 2000 and used the money I saved to buy a 2000 Z28 with a 6 spd. 4 years later, I traded it in for my new 2004 Mag red coupe with, you guessed it, MN6

98 z-28 learned how to mod the ls1 engine then bought my 97 for cheap and modded the hel? out of it

Just sold my 88 IROC a few months back (I swapped in a complete LS1/T56/2001 interior(dash, console, seats)), shopping for a C5 now. I'll probably get another one someday, but for now, I'm trying to consolidate.

1LE = Sweet ride. Always wanted one.

Back in 2001, Road and Track did a comparison test between a Zo6 and a SS Camaro. The Z06 won, but it was very close.

You guys must be kids.

I loved Camero's. Poor man's corvette.

I bought my first "hot rod" in '73. A '70 SS, 350 300HP. It became my first really rod. I loved the thing and it ran like a beech. My wife learned to drive rods in that baby.

Then I bought my current house and sold it for $1200, which exactly matched the price for central air. DUH.

Now I've finally come back to rods and bought a C5 vert. Its her daily driver, but my weekend toy. Her only requirement is that I not put in a clutch that she cann't push.

I've had two. A 1982 "Berlinetta" and a 1993 Z28/6 spd. Bought em both brand new.

I had a 98 with SLP exhaust, K&N cold air,Ram air,Granetelli MAF, and a Hypertech that crashed my PCM twice. It als had 3.73 rearend. I miss that car very much.

Same here, but with several cars inbetween. My first car was a midnight blue '67 Camaro with a white nose stripe and 327. I loved that car. Wish I still had it today. I bought it for $1225 and sold it two years later for $1100 in 1973 (i'm sure it would be worth a little bit more today .

Fast forward almost 27 years thru kids and minivans and I got my first vette at age 47 (came close several times before but never pulled the trigger). A 2001 Pewter coupe w/ A4. Now I have a 2003 MSG vert w/ 6 speed. LOVE the vert but I have to admit, I really have my eye on the new Z06 in a couple of years.

Now my son is following my footsteps. He is 20 and has owned his '98 red Z28 with black racing stripes for almost four years now.

I sold my old '69 First Gen Camaro in Sept. 04 to buy my C5. I miss that old car every once in a while, then I turn on the AC in my Vette and forget all about it.

C5Jim

YES, ABSOLUTELY.
I should have asked "How many ex-PONY car owners".

Had an 87 IROC a few years back. Loved that car, and so did a LOT of girls. They like the C5 too.

I went from a '96 3.8L Camaro to a '95 Z28, a few bikes in between, a '95 Caprice 9C1 and now the '00 C5.
