2012 CTS-V vs 2012 Camaro ZL1 - Page 8 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

8AD•SS · 06-18-2012, 03:18 PM

My brother drives a CTS-V (has kids) and it is a fantastic car that is fun to drive and feels amazingly quick. By the way I'm use to driving my Z06. Having said that, I was not for one second tempted to purchase it over the ZL1 though driving the CTS-V made me certain that I had to get the ZL1.

Looks wise: All matter of opinion but I like the looks of the Camaro better.

Ride quality: Should be about the same.

The V is more luxurious so it really comes down to that. Does one want luxury or one bada$$ mofo?

I'd go for the Bada$$ mofo. Screw the V.

Yes , at the very least the V is ALL ONE COLOR. I can't stand the cheap black plastic side skirts.

^^^Neet vid but that V doesn't appear to be accelerating quick enough to get those sort of reactions and almost seems fake compared to her other vids.

I'd take a V over the Z all day but you cant blame me cuz the V is $75,000

Trading in my SS in the Winter for either a V or a ZL1 cant decide given I get a Suppliers Discount on the V.

How? With both you get RWD, Magnaride, supercharged LSA. The Camaro is rated at more HP, BUT it does not really show at the track. What does show is the Cadillacs MUCH nicer and much higher quality interior and additional features.

If I was spending this much on a car, I would spend the extra $ for the cadillac.
