In a bit of a dilema reaching out for your opinions

[Brettscamaro]

Back in October of 2009 I bought my first Camaro. It was a black on black 2LT/RS. I veered off from in the following Summer and stepped up to a 2011 2ss/RS White/Inferno. I got hit pretty bad in that car on the way home from work one night and when I got it out of the body shop I really didn't feel safe. I then bought a new BMW. To this day out of 12 different cars...The camaro is my favorite car. Everything about it. The Dilema is...do I go this weekend and buy another 2011 2ss/RS black new, or do I wait for the ZL1. I know the ZL1 finance payments will probably be skyrocketing so I am really debating. Please give me your opinions as to what I should do

[PoorMansCamaro]

everyone will tell you, if you can afford the zl1, get it.

[MiracleAces]

I concur.

Did you not feel safe in the Camaro because it had been repaired, or were you worried altogether about the safety of the Camaro? If you fear a Camaro is not safe, then you'll never be happy in one.

No-one can answer that but you, unless you give us more details. Are you in college? Do you have a family? Do you plan on buying a house within the next 6 years? Etc.

[Brettscamaro]

I didn't feel safe after front and rear bumper were ripped off lol...and heres the details. I am 19 years old, opted not to go to college, I am in sales for a development corporation in NYC. I don't plan on buying a hosue within 6 years and by the time the finance term ends I sitll won't be married with children. Since I was 17 I paid for all of my cars so please I don't want to hear all that crap either. Just opinions on waht to do

[dutchnrican]

go big or go home!

jk. but seriously. no one knows ur situation like you do. I think if you can really and i mean really afford a ZL1 (not can pay for the car but is broke otherwise) then you should get it! But if not and you just want an SS, at least wait a little bit and get a 2012.

I don't care if your 19 or 99. It's your money man, do as you please. My question was more about the safety of the car. I was wondering if you were worried about the Camaro you crashed, or Camaro's in general? If it was just the Camaro that was crashed I say get yourself a new 2SS and keep the payments lower. You'll still have a car that can get you from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds, and you'll be able to go out to dinner if you want to.

I say never buy the first version of any new or revamped model including the ZL1...There will be lots of issues. Buy the new 2SS and wait a couple of years for the second release of the ZL1.

[TSSUNAMI]

The ZL1 is going to be hotness. But I don't think I could wait that long.

Snap up a used 2SS, hell there are still new 2010 models rotting on dealer lots if you look.... should be able to snag one for a nice price since the 2012's are in production now.

I'm sure if you make enough money to be buying a Camaro, then a BMW, you can swing a house payment too (if you end up changing your mind) Have a kid in the next 6 years? This bitch has a back seat that fits TWO kids! So as long as you don't start knocking out twins, you're golden man!!

[camaroaarp]

If you can afford the ZL1, buy it. If you can afford two of them, I'll take the other!

[Brettscamaro]

Lol not knocking up anyone right now and don't plan on it for a while. Don't want to move out yet as per the same reason I opted not to go to any of the 12 schools offering me hockey scholarships, that reason being is my father passed away 4 years ago and I still have a younger brother and sister. Don't want to leave mom alone. I think that I am going to wind up going with a new 2011 2ss/RS. Lets see what happens. Thanks everyone!

I personally would not buy a ZL1 as my daily driver. But if you have a beater that you can drive to crowded malls, grocery stores, and movie theaters (and you can afford to spend $55K for a car) then its something you should definitely consider...

[2010 SSRS]

Definitely get the ZL1
