40 or 65k...it's about the green. If you are going to mount a supercharger and spend 7-10k on a brand new car why not get the factory warranty? How are taxes where you are?also the zl1 will hold value better i think!! I like the zl1 personally over the 1le! Just my 2 cents!

What he said + it depends on what you plan to do with the car. The mag ride is, absolutely, a plus too.

I like the idea of having the 1LE. It handles right up there with the ZL1 and as far as engine goes, its more of an open canvas for me to work on. If I had a ZL1, I would probably already be talking about moding it...

Either way

IMHO 1LE best bang for the buck (power, suspension, and LOOKS). Don't get me wrong the ZL1 is sweet but a 2014 1LE just looks bad ass and IMHO is the best looking Camaro for 2014 (until the Z/28's hit the street).

If I had the money I would have probably gone for the ZL1, but I knew I wanted the 1le or the ZL1. I haven't been a fan of the 5th gen SS, but think they've worked some kind of magic on both the ZL1 and the 1le.

I bought a 1le. Aside from the infernal clutch noise and RIDICULOUS tires (I'm in Montana) I think it's fantastic!

Heck, if I was going to spend 60K on a ZL1 I'd spend a little more to get the Stingray in Laguna Blue. That car a freakin wet dream!

NO CONTEST ZL1.. IT's a stock Supercharged Camaro. In my mind that's far better than a few bolt on's and a track package, unless of course you would rather use it for a track.
