PS, 2SS's can be ordered with no sunroof, like mine.

Still surprised colour is so low in the poll. I guess everyone likes the different shades of RED, then BLACK/WHITE/BLUE etc equally?

BDBiker · 12-22-2013, 03:07 PM

For me the color was most important, since everything I own is Black. I absolutely did not want the sunroof due to my being too tall for good head clearance. I got the 2SS/RS, and the Recaro seats were not available when I placed the order. But I do regret not getting the NPP exhaust, I will be changing out the exhaust this spring to get the sound I want.

Camaro Dude · 12-22-2013, 06:00 PM

Probably worth noting, although most already know this I assume. With the NPP you also get a different lower rear valance with extra cut out for quad tips.

Something to take into consideration cost wise when going after market and electing a quad setup.

If your plan is to track the car, recaro's.

If no track plans, NPP.

It was the color of the car--white--and the contrast of the black wheels that made me notice the car at the dealer. Before that, a Camaro wasn't even on my radar. Hell, I wasn't even in the market to buy a car at the time! Instead, I was there just to see the new vette. But there is was, love at first sight...

Instead of buying it right then, I went home and researched the car and when I saw something about it being set up for the track I had to have it. I went to another dealer to see that they had and while there were several, they didn't have white. No deal. Went back to the first dealer the next day (a week ago now) and bought the white one.

I even "settled" for the manual trans (I know there isn't an option, but I hadn't driven one since '92 so I was worried). Absolutely love the manual now and everything else about it. The fact that it's fully loaded--SS2, RS, Recaro's, NPP, nav, HUD, etc.--is a bonus that I wouldn't want to give up now, but that color combo is what hooked me.

+1

IMO, If you are going to the track then you would not want the sunroof (weight, safety, head room and structural ) and other options that add weight that doesn't improve performance.

Backup camera was not a choice (I have a 1SS so it was not standard) so I added it. That is my #2 followed by #3 NPP. Those are the only options I have.

Cookie Monster · 12-23-2013, 10:37 PM

By using process of elimination this wasn't that hard of a choice for me
-I can't stand SUNROOFS and they are pointless IMO
-the 1LE makes any COLOR look good, so you can't go wrong with color
-unlike previous years both RS and non RS packages are great. Can't go wrong with either
-2SS is a definitely worth the money, but isn't a must have unless your greddy like me. 1SS is still fine with its basic features
...
Now here's where it gets tough
-I can't imagine my car without those comfy sweet looking Recaros. It was a big reason why I waited for the 14s. Pricey, but well worth it
-NNP is the winner in my book. Exhaust looks 100x better than any stock exhaust I've seen. Plus the sound is pure eargasm. I love driving this car through tunnels and parking garages. It really sets this car off. Need anymore excuses??? I got just one more. The one good thing about stalling your car is that you get to hear the NNP start up again

...
NNP, you can't beat it

Norm Peterson · 12-24-2013, 10:14 AM

If I was putting an order together and had to choose one, it would be the Recaros, in support of the corner-carving-above-all reason for choosing the 1LE in the first place.

I had to have white, I had to have a 2SS, I had to have non-RS, I have to have Recaros, I had to have no Sunroof, and I had to have the NPP exhaust. The reason I voted for the NPP is because if I could only afford one it would have to be the NPP. It is a cheap otion so IMO it should be on everyones list, then get the recaros, or whatever else you need/want/can afford.

Everyones list? Cheap? Sorry, but no matter how hard I try I just can't make $900 for exhaust sound and maybe a couple more HP sound like option money well spent.

On the other hand, if somebody was to offer to cover the cost of whichever second option off that list and I had to get two I probably would check off the NPP after the Recaros.

Hard question I have them all couldn't live without it all. :-)
I love the recaros. If I had a new camaro the seats would be first pick

Camaro Dude · 12-25-2013, 01:00 PM

Guys, I'm trying to put the Recaro option into respective here.

I just want to confirm, are they power or manual adjustment?
What was the price of this stand alone option? $1800-2000?

If they fit into a 2013, at that price point(assuming approx. $2000 is correct), I'm sure a deal could be had later on, so I wouldn't sweat it too much if you didn't order your ride with them.

tw78911sc · 12-25-2013, 02:57 PM

Power both sides, I'd bet they used the same harness/attachment locations to save $$
