Had to pass on the Camaro... - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Thanks guys. We test drove both, and I gotta say the Camaro is very impressive. It really made it a tough decision. Even driving the Z, when I see a Camaro, I turn and stare!

I'll still enjoy being a part of the Camaro5 forum and hearing about everyone getting their new Camaro's!

Z06 is less powerful/cheaper than the ZR1.

Z06 is a much better deal than a ZR1 in my opinion.

Can't argue with that decision. And I see people under 40 driving them all the time. Course, I'm also a member of a vette forum so. Yeah.

Just a wee little more horsepower in the ZR1. . . Just a little

Z06: starsts at $48,930
430 hp ls3 engine 190mph test track top speed
ZR1: starts at $106,880
638 hp LS9 (supercharged) 205mph test track top speed.

There is a lot more that can be compared between the two, but I don't feel like digging any deeper on Chevy.com just to satisfy a random poster. If you wish to know more, you know where to look

-EDIT- Disregard this post, i fail at reading Chevy's site

TJ91 · 02-03-2010, 01:08 PM

How good of a deal was it? over here they sticker for 95k for the z06

And so I don't get hammered with "this thread is worthless without pics"....

Nice pics !!!

What type of deal did you get on zo6 if you don't mind me asking.
