2014 ZL1 or 15 1 LE ?

Im looking at both a used 14 ZL1 with very low miles on it or a 15 1 LE 2 SS

I have driven both but am torn between the 2, the only thing the ZL1 doesn't have is Recaros

Out the door price difference is 4 grand higher for the ZL1

Thoughts?

PS yes I know this is the ZL1 forum but was hoping for some honest opinions

I had a similar dilemma back on labor day... I've been enjoying my 15' 2 SS/RS , 1LE , with a few mods already , and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

For only $4000 more I'd get the ZL1

For $4k more, and that I suspect a one-year old ZL1 at that price will hold it's value more than a brand new 15 1LE would, I'd suggest the ZL1.

ZL1
Better rear diff, 150hp more, mag ride, better clutch (if they are m6's)
Easy choice.

You want to bring a knife to a gun fight, get the 1LE.

I like the 1LE look over the ZL1 But I like both!The 1LE is also becoming a legend but you can't go wrong with neither! ZL1 has way more power and can easily add more without worrying and has the mag ride ! So it is a beast too!

You are asking this in a ZL1 forum so the responses are going to be just a tad biased.


But if it were up to me I'd say ZL1 for sure. Nicest Camaro out there IMO.

I would recommend taking some time and do a bit of factual research on both and get what your heart desire.
