'96 CE Corvette or '00 Camaro SS for daily driver?

[Dave Rifkin]

I used to own a '96 CE coupe, although it was an LT-1 model, so I am very familiar with the step down into the car. I am also familiar with the way you have to roll out of the thing as well.
Both cars are 6 speeds; the SS has 35,700 miles and the 'Vette has 44,000 on it. Both can be had for close to $14,000, I'm just not sure which one is the better everyday car. I'm not all caught up in that "don't drive in the rain" crap either so I guess I'm not your typical Corvette guy.
Is there an advantage to the LS1 over the LT4 or vice versa?
