2010-2011SS or 2012-2015SS?

Hey all. Been looking to upgrade. I'm looking at a 2011 SS and was wondering if they have any known problems/more problems than the later models (2012-2015) I know in 2012 they improved some of the suspension. I found a 2011 auto with 19,000 miles for $16,000. I also found a 2010 manual with 31,000 miles for $20,000. How's the clutch in the 2010 manual compared to the 2012? Thanks for all your feedback in advance.

The 2013 is the sweet spot.

Let's be clear. 2013 is best looking and very reliable. It's a no brainer.

Clutch is perfect in the 2010, couldn't really tell a difference but the suspension of the newer (2012+) was really noticeable.

I love the retro gauge speedo numbers and steering wheel in the 2010 to 11. I had a 13 too and I like the steering wheel too .

2013 AND LOVING IT! FE4 suspension, & my link. just those 2 updates is worth it. If u like the 14 refresh u can go with that. But I prefer the original face of the 10-13.

Haha all great feedback. I just think it's hard to say no to a 2011 SS with low miles for $16000

2010 L99 here (w/ 22k+ mi.), and the only issue... how fast you can go through rear tires! That and, I go through tail light bulbs more often than I should.


I would say that the true 'sweet spot' is the 2013 1LE, that's a rare beast.
