14/15 ZL1 OR 16 2SS

I am considering trading out of my 14 1SS within a year or so and I am stuck between a 14/15 ZL1 or a 16 2SS. I see 14/15 ZL1 for around 45-50 which is the same as a 16 2SS .. Which would be the better buy? I know there 2 different cars but wouldn't it be smarter to get a ZL1 vs a 16 2SS ? I just feel like you get more car now on the new SS .

ZL1 is more car (good and bad) than a 2SS 6th gen. Do what's best for you.

ZL1. You never want a first year car, nor an ugly car for that matter

Get the ZL1. There are many low mileage units within reach I'm sure. Also , any opinion on how to spend your money that deviates from my recommendation should be disregarded.

I think with the adjustable ride control and suspension upgrades on the 6th Gens, it really just comes down to horsepower. Do you need 580HP, or will the paltry 455HP of the '16 SS do?

Rough choice considering that the price is going to be a wash.
Maybe hold out and wait for the '17 Gen6 that has the bugs worked out?
Maybe you could score a leftover '15 ZL1 on the 20% off sale.

Well of course I'm going to say ZL1......

The car is a beast and one of the truly modern muscle cars of our time.

If you want a old school muscle car with newer tech = ZL1

If you want a smaller sports car with the latest interior tech = 16' 2SS
