Nothing, happy with what I have. Can't afford a ZL1 and I love my color.

You can't be that broke if you have a new camaro. I drove a pinto with over 200,000 miles on it when I was in college. Be happy with what you got and you'll be able to get want you want much easier.

GEEKFREEKSCOTTY · 05-15-2012, 11:20 AM

I would have gotten exactly what I got.. especially since I have only had the car a month.

. You can too if you want it bad enough. Just keep putting money aside. If a broke college kid can afford the trade up so can you

and I'm a broke as f young dude lol. Dreams can happen! Just gotta make it happen.

I love my new baby

So? You trade 2010 1LT for a 2011 2SS, no money down, same payment, you say you broke... And you only own 10k on the loan? Now my question is how much the dealer give you for the 1LT? If you broke how come you own so little left in 1 year? And how you keep same monthy payments? Upgrade your time? 60 or 72? Your credit got better? Just curious???

DarkFox1 · 05-15-2012, 11:29 AM

if I could do it over I woulda saved my money and kept my 4th gen.

OR I would have saved up for a little while and gotten a ZL1 so I wouldn't be dealing with having to mod my slow L99 to keep up with granny in her nissan altima.

I wondered about that. It's almost black from afar.

How about you grey owners?

What's important is wanting what you get, not the other way around.

The only change from what I bought would be I would get the Convertible. Everything else is perfect.

dcarlos55 · 05-15-2012, 12:56 PM

I got exactly what I wanted the first time around. I think I'll keep it.

NYJets77 · 05-15-2012, 12:59 PM

I'd get same car and color, but stripes painted on.

Worgnakh · 05-15-2012, 01:04 PM

My friends this is Gen 5...the days of V6 being weak are over

No shame in driving a 312+HP V6

My goal is to eventually own both...V6 for weekdays and V8 for weekend

Your last statement is contradictory to your first.

cab2g · 05-15-2012, 01:22 PM

If I could do it all over again, by going back in time. I'd leave myself a note to go to harvard and befriend mark zukerberg then steal his facebook idea. Then I'd take the billions of dollars I made off the stolen idea and offer to buy out GM instead of the government doing so. Then, I'd force GM not to cancel ABM, and make me a one off Camaro with 1000HP... that's what I'd do if I had to do it all over again.

or wait, I guess i could just take say $100,000 and have the car painted and mod the car to kingdom come.... and keep the billions for myself... yeah, that's what I'd do if I could do it all over again.

Waste · 05-15-2012, 01:23 PM

I would have gotten the RS package on mine. I have the 1LT M6, I really would have liked the halos and HUD

I'm a V6'er and I love it, its my DD and its plenty for me!

Heaven_is_inferno_orange · 05-15-2012, 01:57 PM

I would have made sure my 1SS had the connectivity package for my Iphone USB. And perhaps a HUD.

menendez1293 · 05-15-2012, 02:05 PM

I would have gotten the same thing if I stayed in the same price range. I have my dream car. Ofcourse I would love an SS but my RS is plenty for me

GatorUSMC · 05-15-2012, 02:12 PM

I would have pulled the trigger earlier instead of waiting for the phantom Z28.

Lgndryhr · 05-15-2012, 02:18 PM

I would get what I have because that is all I could afford at the time and I could not find any used SS that I liked. If things would have played differently (the reason why I got my car because my last car was dying) then I would still be waiting/saving to get a Camaro SS or 1LE.

jamesdburton · 05-15-2012, 02:40 PM

It's a game where you can't win. I traded in my 2011 2LT for 2012 2SS/RS Transformers 3 Edition and now I am trying to work the finances right to get a 2013 ZL1. They do this so you can keep on putting your hard earned money on new cars but like a crack addict, I can't stop....

ShowSStopper · 05-15-2012, 02:50 PM

Well...its been 3 months since I bought my LT/RS. If I had it to do over again, i would......have kept my 03 Cobra and somehow saved up the money to fix it.

That's my honest answer so far. I like my car...it looks fantastic. But i miss the "hang on for dear life!" feeling my Cobra had...not even the SS, at a significant premium, offers anything close. If I were to go Camaro again, I would have to go modded ZL1 just to get in the ballpark, and anything over $30k for a Camaro is far too much IMO.

But that's just my thoughts so far.

BLASPHEMY!

I don't have any issues with my IBM; it's not as bad as black vehicles I've owned.

then again, I wash it almost daily and have Adams and Porter-Cable detailing supplies, which make it much easier to take care of.
