Goodbye to my 5th Gen and Hello to my 6th! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well the time has finally come after weeks of negotiations and shopping around. I finally got a deal that was far better than the rest. The deal was my car +$20k out the door, everything included. I think I did pretty good especially since everywhere else was about $3k more.

I've said goodbye to my 2010 2SS and hello to my brand new 2018 1SS / 1LE. Wow what a huge upgrade especially in terms of performance. These cars have come a very long way in the last few years in terms of technology.

Enjoy some pics and tell me what you guys think.

Just noticed the dealer put my plate on crooked. Headed down to the garage right now to fix lol
Update. The dumb ass at the dealer drilled the holes for the screws crooked. I had to modify the holes on my plate just a tad to get it to sit straight.

Damn that 5th gen is sweet.....

The 5th gen is a lot better looking. However, as far as 6th gens go, it ain't bad with the 1LE accents.

zr1chris · 07-13-2018, 12:53 AM

If it were plain SS vs SS I'd say it's pretty much a tie from 5th gen to 6th but this 1LE I just love. The added touches sets it off perfect imo.

And the WHEELS!! My favorite wheels ever put on a Camaro from the factory. And I'm not one for black wheels either. Something with the finish they used allows you to see the detail in the wheel and not just get lost in darkness like most black wheels.

Very nice car man congratulations. Seems to be quite a good upgrade.

everything is personal perspective and from mine the 6 gen looks better it was a good upgrade.
