I'm sure it is way more pleasurable to drive & look at

What are some of your opinions? Thanks

I would say do not worry about it. Get the camaro you want because you like it today not worrying about when you sell it. They are fun cars. I got mine with the RS package because i like the HALO lights, and the LED tailights, I also do not mind the bigger wheels. I do it for the look, and i dont care when i sell the car somebody else doesnt like it. It is about what YOU want and YOU like. Do not worry about the price.

I have the RS. It looks cool but I would trade the RS package in a heartbeat for a sunroof. I would get way more enjoyment out of a sunroof than headlights. Plus the little lady would stop reminding me that we could have gotten a sunroof instead of "fancy lights".

When I ordered mine, I preferred the non RS look overall, just that simple!

Was gonna get a 2014 LS Non-RS but decided on a new 2013 1LT RS and I'm glad I did! I love the larger rims, halos, HIDs, and (when it doesn't freeze) MyLink!

Silly topic. If I had an SS i would have all the pleasure I needed.

Since I have a V6 the RS pkg add's a lot with the wheels and headlights.

If you have the funds, easily get both, end of story.

I judge my 2LS daily for not having halos. If I can figure out who will install them for me, I'm doing it.

Your right. The sunroof option is very popular (close to 50% I think) even though expensive .
Big plus factor on a used Camaro. My Camaro would not be the same car without it.

They are worth it alone to me.

On a V6 the 20" wheels/tires also add value.

Absolutely. I love the HIDs and I am very glad that I got the RS package just because of the HIDs.

I bought used so didn't have much choice whether to RS or not RS. I ended up with the RS package and am very happy with it. What the RS package will be worth in 4 years is hard to say.

That's why I got a 1LT/RS w/ a sunroof, instead of a 2LT/RS

Strangely it was very hard to find a 1SS with a sunroof when I was looking. I wish I would have held out and expanded my search area.
