Looks like I'll just be supercharging my ss

you can always list it and sell it on your own

How would you not be upside down and how do you still owe 20 grand on 4 yr old car? The extra 200 buck will be OK until about 3rd payment,then you'll be saying damn unless you have boocoos of income

I traded in a 06 Chevy dually that I didn't use anymore ( sing I can't afford to drag race anymore) with 98k book said it was with 12k and drove away with ordered 14 1 SS my preference for 20k oh with horrible credit
I know the zl1 is a killer but like Clint said a mans gotta know his limitations

The choice is between:
1 -SS1, 1LE, NPP
2 -SS2, 1LE, NPP
3 -ZL1
Biweekly payments including all taxes are:
1 -$181
2 -$212
3 -$283


***Not trying to hijack the OP.

Not sure where you are getting the numbers for the Zl1, $283 Bi weekly is $566 a month even at 72 months that $40,752. Unless you are putting almost $20k down those numbers are off.

Well. any camaro made after 2011 would be a big improvement to most ! Just because the. suspension upgrades and steering wheel , Especially compared to the 2010 early models that came without backup sensors. So ofcourse a ZL1 which was made from 2012 on would seem like a huge upgrade.

Correct, that's with $15000 down and a $5500 GM employee discount. Those are the numbers.

Anytime you have a trade, you have to see what the dealer will give you for the trade to see what the real numbers work out to. That includes finance charges as well, typically used bumps the interest rate too. What ever you do don't settle, if your going to take the big step, get exactly what you want. Just plan to own the car 60 or 72 months out along with the payments otherwise your going to be upside down on the car for awhile. $45k for a used 2013 seems reasonable, for a 13 which probably has more miles than most 13s but probably highway. Any color ZL1 is awesome, yellow=rare, but lower demand by far.

I had a 2010 SS and ended up with a 2013 ZL1... JMO, Get the ZL1.

That is a good price for a 2013, assuming it has no "issues" =)

my SS is a daily driver and enough power for me since i am not going to tracks and racing on street, enough power for me. but its your own decision its your money i would suggest buying an audi R8 with extra 20-30 grand
