Need help! Choosing between a 2LT and a 2SS - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

It's quite simle. Buy the V8 for power, buy the V6 for the looks. Plus if you buy the V6, you can spend that extra money you'd save and mod it. I don't need to speed, then people won't be able to see how much cooler my car is over a base V8.

I always look on the back of the Camaros... I can never see if it says RS or SS(Impossible to tell the difference unless youre 10 feet away!), in my mind I am thinking if it's an RS then it's a poser or if it's an SS it's the real deal. The whole point of the Camaro is that it's supposed to be a musclecar, it just so happens that it looks good, which is why people buy the V6; the Camaro just doesn't make much sense in RS V6 form, it all comes together in the SS V8 though.

Car looks clean !!! I like what youve done to it the drop is sick what springs did you use? I'm in the market for springs just put on 22's. lmk thanks

Notice that 90% of the V6 owners are constantly defending their decision and trying to sway more people their way so they can feel better about it.

Then you have 100% of the V8 owners sitting back and smiling

Get the V8 and keep being awesome

...jp V6 owners, it's a great car

Haha, I don't have to defend my choice. I paid less than $10K for mine when all is said and done! Sure, who wouldn't like a V8, but I also have two mortgages and one other car to take care of as a single guy. Besides, I didn't choose my baby, she chose me. I won her over.

I'm 20 years old and got a 2SS. When I went to the dealership the first time, they were trying to make me get a 2LT just to get a sale. I saved a little more money and finally got the 2SS. I don't regret my decision at all! i love it! the only thing is the insurance is crazy high! but its a muscle car...get a V8!

ss=scuba steve · 12-13-2010, 12:40 AM

SS is da best ! But if you find a 6'er meets your needs more practicaly, then rock it ! Either way you have a sweet ride.....

Sneeks20 · 12-13-2010, 01:05 AM

Go for a 2ss, so you can have it parked like all the ss owners. I will eventually throw a v12 on my 1LT. Then i will have mine parked.

VcrusaderV · 12-13-2010, 03:01 AM

I think you and everyone else already know the answer to this.... get the SS or be prepared to give a list of lame reasons why you have a V6.

phenixdragon · 12-13-2010, 03:41 AM

For me, a 6 banger was not even an option. It's a fake Camaro. V8 or it was keeping my 2005 TL. That was a 6 banger with semi luxury.

Insurance can really just depend on so many factors. My SS is cheaper to insure than my 05 TL was, and that's with 2 tickets where my TL was with zero tickets since that insurance company I used didn't know about them yet.

Blump · 12-13-2010, 04:08 AM

I've had the LT for around a year now, and while I am happy with it, the SS is always in the back of my mind. I'm gonna trade up this week, even though I'll take a hit.

I vote 2SS.

I wish a dip s*** like you would tell me that in person, so i can break their face. The V6 was created for the not so wealthy people. Not everyone was born with a silver spoon up their ass. As for me im a 24 yr old that owns a 2 story house, and has two car notes. Atleast i can say i dont live with mommy and daddy like some of ya'll. Keep bashing on the six. I know what i got.
