Looking to purchase a camaro

Talk to Becky @ Rodgers, she is on here, she will get you a good price on a 2LT. Gotta have the halos & extras!

I think the 2 LS has the taller final drive ratio...making it slightly less quick. I would go 1 LT instead.

get what you can afford

Agreed have had mine 5 months my wallet is always empty now

Not much opinion on which model (LT vs LS), unless you can afford to step up to the 1LT/RS - then I'd say do that.

Color? I lived in Phoenix for a couple of years and yes... there is frequently "dust" in the air. A dark color will drive you crazy trying to keep it clean. White would be much easier than AGM, but SIM probably requires the least amount of cleaning just because it shows dirt/dust less than any other color (IMO).

Go with white, IMO it's one of the best colors for a camaro it looks better than any other color. Although I am incredibly bias but whatever lol. White with black wheels, gils, stripes, and a tint is the coolest camaro I have ever seen and am working my way through all that right now . As far as an ls or lt I would go with the lt, and if you can get the rs package do it. I regret not getting it and my next camaro will 100% for sure have the rs package. I am also a 19 year old college student, and this car just makes everyone want to be my friend hope it works for you too and congrats and I'm sure whatever choice you make will be best for YOU!

If you plan to park it in the garage and enjoy detailing your vehicle get Black. Mine is black. I have only owned black vehicles because black is bad azz. I then needed a plain work truck so I got it in white. I now understand why people like white. It is the easiest to keep clean and it contrasts black very good. If I had known then I would have gotten mine in white.

I sm looking at a new 13 black 2lt black is cool and frankly any dark color will show dirt. saw ble ray and that is dark too

Forever.

So then you'll develop a clear cut OCD for making sure the car is damn near spotless whenever you see it. This OCD involves:

1. Ditching significant others because of "One more damn streak".

2. Becoming friends with the local car wash or developing a penchant for detail work each weekend, or both.

3. The hatred of all dust, everywhere. You will want to kill dust with your bare hands.

4. You will throw evil looks to anyone who dares to close the door with anything other then the handle, or the window. This is unavoidable.

5. The "look at my shiny ass black car in my rear mirrors" symptom. You will occasionally outright ignore direct conversation while driving because of this, potential relationship strain.

Mud and rain will become your sworn enemies. Wax will become a lighthouse in a troublesome storm.

6. Camaro5 will get bookmarked. You will be here every day. This one isn't color specific though.

7. The urge to completely black out the car for some reason.

8. You will on occasion, drive places for no reason other then to drive the car, also not color specific.

The 1LT and 2LS aren't too radically different in terms of features outside of the MyLink and RS package. Stick with what is comfortable rather then stretching would be my two cents, the 2LS is a solid machine.

This. Black rules IMO for almost any car but as he said above was spot on. There isn't anything you can do other than clean and try to keep from obsessing about it. Colors white looks great especially with some stripes, I love red too and it's a classic sports car color. Red with white stripes looks great IMO

Just over a year ago I was looking into buying either an LS or an LT. I went with the 1LT for 2 reasons, I would not have to upgrade the wheels and this one came with more options that I wanted over the LS I had located and the other reason is I would have had to drove a lot further for the LS I did locate. As far as color it should be your choice since you are the one owning and driving it. Only thing I can say about color is I own black, never had before, was even warned by friends how hard they are to keep clean. My thought was how bad could it be and bought one. It looks awesome when it is clean and I love the look especially with the stripes added but it is a second job to get it that way and keep it that way. It not only shows dust easy but look at one in the sunlight if the owner wasn't careful washing and waxing it, look at all the swirl marks. I know this will be the last black car I own. If you are looking into adding decals or stripes of some sort you may want to look into buying stripes and having someone that does it put them on, it may be a cheaper alternative, just make sure they are printed on 3M vinyl. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Thank you all for your responses, they all are helping!

Question: A few of you stated it was worth going to the 1lt if also getting the RS, off the top of your heads, about how much additional is that in $$$ for an automatic? Unfortunately chevy doesn't have the build option on their site yet. And I won't be able to go to a dealership anytime this week to ask a sales person. (I trust you guys more than a sales person anyway.)

2014 1LT with the RS package and a auto trans should be $4235 more than a base 2LS
