RE: Corvette vs. Camry
ORIGINAL: Camry man 08
I, as a 10 year Camry owner, having owned 6 Camry's, the 2008 as my newest, happen to like Camry's more. Who needs over 300 HP of power? MY 2008 Camry with the V6 has 268 hp, does 0-60 on 5.7 seconds, and will hit atleast 140, i can woop a altima, ricer in a civic, or alot of other things on the rode. Would i like to have a vet, sure. But there is no need to have one, in my opinion they are overrated pieces of fiberglass with an engine.

RE: Corvette vs. Camry
Well lets just say, a Camry,..........$23,000 off the floor.
We're lookin' at 15 of them over the next 25 years
Now, you are buying a new Camry every 1.666~ years over the 25 year period.
Let's say the car goes up in price by $3,000 every 1.666~ years.
That's ($23,000 x 15) + ($3,000 x 15) = n
$345,000 + $45,000 = n
$390,000 = n
Well, that's about 4 Vettes. So, the question now is, 15 Camrys or 4 Vettes?
A new Camry every 1.666~ years, or a new Vette every 6.25 years?
(Questions are just gettin' harder. [
])
Or, one Vette for 25 years, and save about $300 g's?
2 Vettes, one every 12.5 years, and save 200 g's?
( Dang, I hate this new math....[:@])
