that picture where you car is literally half way under water I wouldnt even know what to do. Hope it all gets resolved soon. Unless you want to rebuild the engine and make it a badass engine build i wouldnt buy it back the only things i saw worth something personally to your new build would be the wheels and the hood but you know us and our love for our cars, I completely understand that emotional attachment. On the bright side at least you started a build thread

Thanks
Ya, really on the fence on what to do, too late in the year to spend money on a car to sit for the next 4 to 5 months.

Once the new camaro debuts with the package options it will have, that will really make my decision a little clearer, hopefully.

I am really wanting a 1LE, just don't want to buy out of impulse.

Why buy a 1LE when you have all the stuff and suspension to make a loaded 2SS look the same? In other words that once you add on all your parts to a 1LE, it will not be a 1LE no more. Just on paper only.

Sorry about your car. It was beautiful.

It's more expensive to put the groundeffects, larger swaybars(rear is different/wider than mind), strut tower, to a "SS", than it is to get the 1LE. I believe the wheel bearings are different too.

I thought about that too. I have been on the chevy website building cars for a cople months now trying to figure it out.

I've been watching lots of those too.....

The new camaro is really peaking my interest. waiting to see the performance numbers and statistics. this will determine if I buy a car to keep or eventually trade in on a 6th gen; and how much I am willing to spend.

thanks guys....

still on the hunt, found some good deals, have pretty much decided to go with a 1LE, but hesitant on pulling the trigger so close to the release of the 6th gen.

I was going to seriously consider a z28 (found a few really discounted), but the manual seat was a concern for me, I am short 5'7". I sat in it and it felt great, but to sit properly like I like to while doing track days the seat was too high and too close to the headliner, I don't think I would have been able to get a helmet on and it not rub it. tough to say since I didn't take one (helmet) with me

then I did my taxes and my job change killed me in taxes oh well, wasn't meant to be yet.
