Couple of decisions... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

velocity149 · 02-02-2013, 08:22 PM

so over the last few weeks, I have changed my mind abut 6 times. first I wanted a zl1 upgrade, then the c7 vette came out, then i wanted a "top dog" camaro instead of beginer entry level vette, then my thoughts changed all together. I have 4 options right now, and need some help. I know it is my decision, and I have to make it, just wondering what other people would do in my situation.

Option 1.
2013 Camaro ZL1

Option 2.
2013 Camaro SS and a little more money to spend

Option 3.
2012 Honda CBR250r bike and keep my Camaro and have some cash

Option 4.
2013 Jeep Grnad Cherokee Limited SRT8

Again, just wondering what all you would do, I currently have a 2012 2LT RS.
thanks for the input

If I were buying I would get the ZL1, but I have talked myself out of it and I'm keeping my Camaro RS/SS. and I saving my cash. I want to travel and don't want anymore car payments.

If I was you I would either get the bike and keep your Camaro or get a ZL1. I am going the bike route with mine, I am planing on getting a Yamaha R1 or a similar bike as my "daily driver" to protect my 2LT from door dings and stupid drivers on a college campus. I love the C7 but I agree with what you said, and I would rather want a top notch Camaro instead of a base model Vette. But it all depends on what you want and what your needs are. If you are worried about gas go with a bike and Camaro, if you want more space go with a Jeep, if you want speed go ZL1 or C7. Good luck with your decision!

upgrade to the SS! and have more money to put in it! i love my SS! i mean i would go for the ZL1 but i would rather keep payments down and have some cash for mods

but again that's just my opinion

flyer08 · 02-02-2013, 09:00 PM

I would not do #3 unless it was different bike and against #4 bc I have a dodge as last car and had bad experience, but that was more on the only local dealer

vroomapunk · 02-02-2013, 09:11 PM

Do you own ur own house? I'd opt for that. But if you do, then It depends what kind of guy u are. Is a bike enough to satisfy ur need for speed? Do u get jealous of ZL1s since u have a v6? I'm a car guy, and I also would rather have one really nice vehicle over 2 lesser ones, since I can't drive them at the same time. I say get the C7 Vette if u can wait, get the ZL1 if u can't wait.

Frid · 02-02-2013, 09:12 PM

I vote #1 or #2. If you have the money, then definitely get the ZL1. If you want to just upgrade and add the rest to give it some more horses and cosmetics, go with the SS.

The Blue Ox · 02-02-2013, 09:22 PM

IMO, go with no 1! You don't need any mod money for that one, it's good to go! Or, have you thought of a 1LE?

erik13 · 02-02-2013, 09:30 PM

Cbr 250 is a beginners bike. You'll be bored with it in a month

Jeffay · 02-02-2013, 09:39 PM

Definitely agree that the CBR 250 is a beginner's bike, and you will get bored real quick. I would do Option 2, I really like the ZL1 but prefer the more simple and subtle styling of the SS.

Agreed. 250's get old pretty quick... Go with a 600, it'll last you much longer. My favorite bike for the buck is the Ninja ZX6R. Very easy to ride, just ease into the throttle cuz those things have some balls lol.

velocity149 · 02-03-2013, 03:04 AM

true, that the 250 will get boring quick, but i have never riden street before. I have really thought alot about the 2SSRS with 1LE. that is what i meant to say about the SS. bike is a must, as the camaros will not be the greatest DD regardless of the engine size, just because of the places I go. Wouldnt wanna risk getting door dings and shit like that. maybe a 2ssrs and just have the bike for daily driver, and the car for fun. lol normally its the opposite. :p
