I need help deciding. SS or a ZL1 - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

fcu678 · 06-28-2012, 04:39 PM

I ordered a ZL1 and I've got a 2010 2SS/RS with only 7700 miles on it and almost as much tied up in mods as the car was new. 90% of the Mods were done by ADM Performance so they're done right. Gonna decide after the ZL1 comes in which one to keep. I know I'll take a beating if I sell the 2010

and it wouldn't be as bad of a beating if I sell the ZL1. I may keep both but that wouldn't be very practical. If I decide to sell the 2010 hopefully I'll get someone that really understands what goes in to building a car. Decisions, decisions.......

If you have the money trust me its a no brainer the ZL1 is awesome!!!!!
I'm very happy with it and being in Canada it feels awesome as they are very rare...

I considered the SS too before I understood what a beast the ZL1 really is and the extra 15K wasn't that much more over the SS. My '13 VIN# 115 will soon arrive in Texas and I can't wait. The ZL1 could be your once in a lifetime opportunity whereas the SS are a dime a dozen. YOU will have to hunt for a dealer with allocation, so you better have plenty of patience to acquire the Z. Happy hunting!!!

Okay guys i decided today!! I'm getting the ZL1! Either in ashen grey or Summit white. If anyone knows of any allocations still available please let me know. Manual is what she is gonna be and have the sexy black wheels!! I got quoted for insurance today and it was $88 dollars a month!!! i'll be purchasing with cash and in about a month-month and a halfs time.

I got both. The 45th Anniversary SS Convertible was an easy sell to my wife, and I glommed onto the ZL1 on the showroom floor.

When you modify hp you stress all the other stock drivetrain pieces, before you know it your replacing axles, differentials, clutch, transmission, driveshaft, on and on. I would say if you are looking for ZL1 type performance you would be much better off purchasing one.

Wish I could sell my SS and get a ZL1
Or I can sell you mine and ud be different lol

I was planning on doing Full exhaust/suspension work to what ever year SS i was going to get (probably a 13). Then again SS's are so common here where i live and i've always dreamed of having a ZL1. I used to own a 2010 SS so i know what they are like. I want to know what you guys think i should do?!

If you had an SS, then you know how fast/slow it feels to you...

If you have the cash to buy a ZL1, do it, you'll regret it IMO if you'll step into another SS.

I think Champion Chevy still have its white/m6/black wheels car because they are asking too much for it. Drop in and talk them down.

If cost is not an issue why would you even consider an SS?

I won't be able to pick it up it for another month, but i am excited. I'm thinking the feature i am most excited about is the racing modes and HUD.

The ZL1 is a great daily driver and an absolute ball to drive. Adjust the suspension for your comfort and press the pedal past 1/3 to kick in boost and go stupid fast. Take it to the track and have fun. If it breaks, take it to the dealer.

NoynuR · 07-08-2012, 07:04 PM

I decided to save some money and order a 2013 1LE best of both worlds.
