Save up a few extra thousand dollars and opt for the Z/28.

haha not sure why he said that?

V8 -- V6
17mpg < 23mpg
426hp > 323hp

add twins to that v6 get 480hp with 24mpg (480hp is more than enough)

I had an LS 2012 .... regretted it because of the $$ I lost on it. I didnt test drive the SS. a year later when my friend took me in his I was hooked.... I traded my LS in on a 2011 SS. Buy a used SS when the 2016 comes out because all these garage queens will be selling theirs for the 2016. Or go big and get a 2016 SS ! Good luck!

Trade a ford for a Camaro? It's a no brainer.

Sit down and make a list of your priorities.
Then compare the two and choose which best fits your wants and needs.

Get whatever suits your needs/intended usage. Very simple. Don't let any knob bully you in either direction.

Get what you can comfortably afford and no more than that. My friend has one and loves his and he should. It's a nice car.

Well a car for that price with 323 hp, Bluetooth, aux plug in, power seats, alright gas milage ( I get 21mpg) I do a lot of city driving. Plus it's still a very good looking car. The insurance is less.

Buy the one you can afford, just buy a Camaro. As long as your remember that, you can't go wrong.
