Please stop trying to tell people the RS is a waste of money or that they should get two sets of wheels. The V6 models get a wheel upgrade with RS. The RS package also comes at a higher premium because of that. Read up on the packages before spewing incorrect "facts" on people's threads.

Well, that's not entirely true...my parts do have their own warranties, just not through GM. Anyway, OP, refer back to my longer post and decide what's best for you. I went the route I did because I didn't want the RS package, specifically the painted roof ditch, and wanted to be able to play with the colors of my halos.

The real question is whether I should wait for 2014. Do you guys think their will be any cool updates to the 2014 on the interior of the engine, or even the front dealer installed splitter. The hood is different I know, but are there any other rumored changes that might make me wait?

No taillight discussions please, thats another whole thread.

okay, so long time lurker, newly subscribed cause I have a question.

The 2014 6.2 in the corvette is upgraded, the 6.2 in the 2014 silverado is also upgraded. Is it safe to say that the 2014 ss might also see an increase in performance?


their is a 2013 EXACTLY how i would' ve ordered one about 40 miles away. Should i jump on it or wait? decisions.

I would not expect a Hp bump. They will not recertify for 1-2 years. Not worth the cost. The Hp bump in the new cars is from a new engine. Not the LS3.

You customer service guys are allowed to answer questions on here too...
It's nice that you guys are here, but I haven't seen one chevy customer service post which has been helpful. Anybody else notice this? If I got paid to surf car forums and help people out, I'd definately go out of my way to answer people's questions and concerns. Heck, all of us do it for free right now!

The 2014 1LE is using the same LS3 from the 2013 model. Only the new Corvette is getting the new LT1. For 2014 the main changes are:

• colour HUD
• colour driver instrumentation panel
• new exterior colours
• revised front and rear facias
• hood extractor slots
• available recaro bucket seats
• available blue interior accent package

Other than those things, the 2014 is the same as the 2013.

No. The camaro will most likely get the upgraded 6.2 when they redesign the car. Notice that both the corvette and silverado were redesigned for 2014.

You mean how the Camaro was redesigned in 2014?

But no, the LS3 isn't being updated.

They were "refreshed" not redesigned.

that probably because they use the PM's. I had a issue or concern (with my Malibu) that i posted on this board and got a pm from customer service.

They contacted my dealership and while the result didnt change it was at least a shot.

if a tree falls in the forest .... you know the rest..

Thanks to all that contributed to this post with great information. Thanks to OzzySS who took so much time with the great run down on headlights.

Still debating the light change.

I did finally buy the 1LE black on black 2SS non RS. I will first put in some performance upgrades, CAI, Tune, then go from there. I will also add the interior Footwell Led's and indirect LED lighting on the sill plates. I have already added the brushed cup holder and billet accent trim on the radio and other knobs on dash.

Also interestingly enough I like the matt finish vinyl wrap on hood. Though I may take it off and have the center raised cowl done in the same kind of flat black that people paint their cars with. It has just a touch of sheen. Will look great with those emblem pro 1LE emblems.

Anybody seen anyone do something like that?

I can't say enough about the 1LE. Wow, awesome. I get all kinds of compliments.

My favorite things about the car
Handles incredible.
Super nice tranny and shifter
Engine sounds through multimode exhaust.
Grip of the tires.
Great street combo of driveability and go. I can shift in most cases: 1,3, 5 or if I don't slow too much 2,4,5.
Car feels like more quality than the price tag.
Great paint on these Camaros.

Again thanks to all.

Jim

Congrats on your purchase

I think u made a great choice!! i like the 13's over the 14's as well..

I'm also glad to see that i'm not the only one who went from a 13 LT to the 1LE

I've hated on the hood wrap up until i picked mine up.. and now i doubt i'm ever gonna remove it.. can't say i have seen a hood like the one you've described...

Also amazed at all the compliments.. one guy said it was the best one he's ever seen.. guess he doesn't know it's stock.. cool to get that compliment even tho it is

anyways, enjoy your ride and ill see you on the boards! congrats again!
