I need a little advice
As the title states I'm after some advice.
I'm from the UK and have previously owned a 2012 SS & a 2015 challenger Hellcat which I sold last year. I have the opportunity to buy a 2015 ZL1 with 42000 miles or a 2016 SS with 10000 miles. is there much difference between them performance wise? what do you guys prefer? |

ZL1 all the way?
5th gen more a muscle car, 6th gen more a sports car. Both are awesome, ZL1 is 580bhp, 2016 SS is 455bhp Bunch of us here in the UK https://www.facebook.com/groups/660614094436915 I've seen the SS on autotrader, pretty sure I've seen the ZL1 somewhere else? |

Zl1 all the way... The SS is a very good car, it is more agile than the ZL1 and weighs a lot less. The Zl1 is just a beast and built like a tank. If you plan on modding at all, the ZL1 is built for it. In the ZL1 if you were going 70Kph and went full throttle, it's like getting punched in the chest will all the torque it has. Also there were the least amount made in 2015, if that matters to you.

He posted this on Camaro6. Weird how on camaro5 everyone says the 5th gen. On camaro6 everyone says the 6th gen. Someone even states that the LT1 is a better motor than the LSA.

Zl1 is a whole different beast than a ss especially if you want to mod it. LT are great engines but even all the big GM builders out there all say LS are still superior engines for power and reliability.

I like trolling on Camaro6 calling out the guys that have never driven a 5th gen but bash the hell out of it. I just throw up the fact that its one of the most successful gens of all time and that the 6th gen could be the reason they cancel the Camaro again. They get real mad real quick .

 I don’t really hate the 6th Gen, but it’s not at the same level of love for me as a 5th in any way. I’d like to have one of each one day. I had to be an adult a few months ago and buy a Yukon Denali for my wife and kids to cruise in, so I don’t think I’ll be into a 5th and 6th for a while lol. Damn adulting.
