Bro I do remember you. Night and Day!
I went with the 12' 1SS/RS using USAA and was able to swing the GM Military Buy program as well (even though fine print says no) as well as them giving me 21k trade in on my 1LT (which is unheard of for a 10'). I was OTD @ 27k so my payments literally went up like 90$ a month.
To me it was absolutely worth it. Even though its the same general style the SS just has a more aggressive appearance. The additional power is VERY noticeable the my V6 was very respectable, it was not even close.
Now you have the chance to get a 13' with all the cool shit (mylink, new shifter etc..) or even a 12' leftover. If I had the means I would not hesitate
Now to the Cons: My MPG went from 22 to 15 city..now after the CAM/Headers I am @ 11.9 or thereabouts. That is going to take some getting use to, but again I wouldnt trade it. The sound and the additional 110RWHP is ALOT of fun lol.
