Well the way I see it there are still a ton of first gen projects still out there for reasonable money, and in turn the following continues to grow.(can't really say that about early corvettes). Even when you factor in the the 2nd, 3rd, 4th gen Camaros many of them were bought by young men (and young women), and many of those guys are going back and purchasing the car they had in high school. When you also consider that many of the 5th and 6th gens were purchased by Millennials and a younger crowd, and even still, many of those cars are reasonable as a used car. Just like many of us, they can fit their (skinny) friends and a bunch of stuff in them if need be.
The Corvette has always had a smaller market, and rightfully so. Since I can remember my uncle with an 80 4 speed Vette then into the late 80's and 90's with the Callaway, ZR-1, Corvette has represented Americas sports car. To be able to purchase a "super car" under a $100k, and keep up (and beat) cars that are priced at double or more is a great feat. But those that had the disposable income to do so, is always going to represent a smaller group, than those buying a Camaro for transportation and fun.
The Corvette guys with the "save the wave", and looking down on the Camaro guys is nothing new. You also have the motorcycle guys that look down on the car guys, or the one of the worst, the airplane guys who look down on anyone who is not a pilot with a plane. With any of these machines, you have the ego games.
I am sure we all have a story.
