2014=fugly sorry hate the change's. I'm still shocked those change's got the approval. If ford builds the the 2015 mustang anything like following concept picture GM is going to see a huge sales reduction imo.

It's been well received on many websites that are devoted to the competitors (Mustang sites, Challenger sites, etc) so if it means more conquest sales - that's a HUGE plus.
I owned a 99SS and I prefered the 93-97 body style. The LS1 was just too much to pass up though. I don't currently own a 5th gen so I don't really have a dog in the hunt right now, but I prefer the rear end of the 10-13 over the 14. The front I can go either way, it has grown on me enough that I am indiferent over which style front I get. The question (like for my 99SS) is the Z28 enough of an upgrade over the ZL1 that I will choose the design I like less. If I get a 13 ZL1 I will be adding recaros though!

Now I DO like that front end. That's the way they should have came out. Now for the back end....

It's just the SS and Z/28 front end with some blackout.

You will get more understeer if you care about that. But a bigger rear sway will cure.

But that explains why they did what they did. And they decided to save a few $$ by using the ZL1 rear wheels versus a less wide rear wheel.

But I am happy they did it that way. They kept the awesome 1LE package affordable. Hopefully the 2014 is still as reasonable.

The 2014 is growing on me. I really like the 1LE shown here. I do wish they had kept some sort of splitter on the front though. I have a well equiped 2013 already so I dont feel much pressure to run out and get a 14' 1LE but when I see one in person I may change my mind based on price increase, cost of options (recaros in the 1LE).

The SS models and V6 models most likely will. The ZL1 will continue to look new. I wouldn't call a rear end change a "refresh" or give it the power to look outdated. Takes more than that. Then again the 2010-2013 MY look better than the 2014MY, anyhow.

Wow. I really like the '14 1LE. The blacked out hood makes the vent fit right in. After looking at the side by side pics, the '14 looks more modern than my '11. The rear shot of the 1LE makes the back look slimmer. While I do like the older taillights a little better, the '14 is not ugly just a little plain. Loving the exposed hardware in the back. Overall the new design takes away some of the blocky look of the older car.

And if you like the look of the Z28 you will like the non-RS 1LE. Lower it, add the splitter, side skirts, and remove the wrap and it's the same look. You even get better looking wheels.

While the pre '14 V6 Camaro without the spoiler was the best looking stock Camaro to me, the '14 non-RS 1LE is now my favorite. Make mine a 1SS, non-RS, red with Recaros. After all it's not what the 1LE looks like, it's what it can do.

I am so glad so many like the pre '14 Camaro better. Anyone want to make me an offer on my gorgeous 2011? It's for sale! Get one of the last Camaros before GM ruined it. It even has the coveted Camaro steering wheel.

Jesus Christ dude! Why do you feel the need to bombard every thread you're a part of with pics of your car? We get it, you own a "timeless" '13.


As for everyone else, we're aware you're glad you got your 10-13 when you did. But really, come on. Who really cares? Let me answer that: No one! Some like the refresh and some don't. Let's leave it at that. Make room for the '14MY+ owners instead of alienating them as you've done consistently for the last month.

But I will be sure to give them a call, doubt ill buy from them. I have a pretty good salesman who I feel "goes out the way for me" from Merollis Chevy. But checking for pricing couldn't hurt especially since that's whats holding up my decision between the 2013s and 2014s
