Hey all, I just want everyones opinion and stuff. Umm, I ordered an LS and I have to finalize it on monday. Ive build my own on the chevy website and then I went and built a 1LT with an RS package cuz I was wondering and it just seems that your getting an overall better deal with the 1 LT/RS package on it but Idk maybe its just me, Im just looking for the V-6 so ya. Just want to kno. Thanks.

You can't go wrong if you get what you really want. Big decision is between the V6 and the V8, everything else is gravy. SO if you're dead-set on the V6, pick your poison and enjoy it, I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed either way.

How much more was it between the two. I personally think that you should upgrade. But if it costs just way to much for you then I say keep it simple...

jeffny09 · 04-03-2009, 08:28 PM

i say get the ss

Vash · 04-03-2009, 08:30 PM

If you can afford the 1Lt get it of course. Unless your worried about MPG.

fireresq157 · 04-03-2009, 08:53 PM

Get what you can afford don't go nuts , If you can afford a SS then get that but if it's between LS 1lt/rs get the one you like within your budget.

bob2the2nd · 04-03-2009, 09:51 PM

always stick within your budget.. always. if you can afford it go with the LT1 if not just stick with the LS. you are going to enjoy the car no matter what

WestsideReaper · 04-04-2009, 11:57 AM

Yeah this is all true thanks guys, Im leaning towards the lt/rs but we shall see. Haha yeah I'd love an SS but unless someone here would like to start a found for me then yeah its a pipedream, but really thanks for your input it helps!

Chevyrocker · 04-04-2009, 12:00 PM

I think that with the difference in price, the 1LT with the RS is the way to go. Then again I'm a sucker for toys, so I might be the wrong person to answer this question...

Timberline · 04-04-2009, 12:04 PM

Buy the car that you want. You won't be disapointed with the V-6.

get what you can afford...and as far as the fund thing let me know when they start i need one too....lol

WestsideReaper · 04-04-2009, 12:09 PM

Ya I'll be sure to let you know if there are any funds lol, ya chevyrocker I agree with you, because somewhere down the road I would want to put stuff on my car anyway so I may as well get it all done and over with now because the RS package really gives a good deal with the stuff it adds to the car.

Hi Buddy,
Pick the Camaro that is within your budget. I ordered the 1LT and upgraded the wheels from the 18 inch rim/tire to the 19 inch rim/tire! The 19 inch rim is much nicer than the 18 inch!
Have a great weekend!

WestsideReaper · 04-04-2009, 12:17 PM

Ya at this point I think the 1LT/RS is what Im leaning on the more I look at it. Just makes my bummblebee look that much sicker!
