2013 Camaro SS Hot Wheels Edition or 2014 LS7 Camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just Ordered a 2013 Camaro SS Hot Wheels Edition...I think the car is stunning and that blue kills me I love it, it only comes on the HOT WHEELS Edition! Its going to be a very limited production car and I think down the road it will be worth some money, I plan on keeping this car. Now that I just found out about this 2014 LS7 Camaro I'm Very torn. I think the Camaro's them selves needed to loose 300lbs and the SS needed another 30+hp. The LS7 will put me right where I want to be with power. I had a 2010 2SS/RS Camaro in Aqua Blue every time I see one in that color it kills me.

What do you guys think I should do?

When did you order it? I didn't think you could order a Hot Wheels car until after the first of the year?

camaro2lt · 12-30-2012, 11:45 PM

maybe wait a little and see and drive both of them

Even if they do build the LS7, they'll only make 500 or less of them. Dealerships will likely add $20K to the sticker and good luck even getting one ordered.

A long shot as I see it...

Says me, 14pilot...

Just did research on GMs LS7 production for the past several years. They run around 400 - 500 per year in production vettes.

You can be a sayin it too. Just Google, Z06 production numbers...

TonyMeatball · 12-31-2012, 12:27 AM

I ordered the car 2 weeks ago...I'm sure they are going to making more then 500 LS7 cars. I'm not worried about paying over sticker for a car I used to own a chevy dealership, have a good friend that owns one now and mu cosin has one in maine I get the cars at cost.

I won't be sayin' it...because I think you're wrong. True they sold around 500 in 2010 and 2012, but they sold nearly 1000 in 2011, and none of those year was production limited, that's simply the number of ZO6 Corvettes that were ordered. They'd have built as many as people wanted.

If offered in the Camaro my bet is they will sell more than 500 of them...says me, joeybsyc.

I see a huge dealer markup in your future - LOL !!!

Brian 1LE SS · 12-31-2012, 06:50 AM

I really dont no where some of you guys come up with this stuff. Unless you run GM you have no clue whats going on with an LS7 Camaro.
To the op, if you like the Hotwheels car, get it. That blue color looks great. How many are they going to make or is it a supply and demand thing?

davidcroft · 12-31-2012, 06:59 AM

I was dead set on trying to commit financial suicide and going to try and get a Hot Wheels Camaro. Now with this LS7 rumor.....I'm on hold. No more mods on my car...I'm playing the waiting game.

O.P. If you used to own a Chevy dealer...what are you worried about? Buy both!!!

blackswan · 12-31-2012, 07:01 AM

Easier and more fun to add power to the hot wheels car no?

Your passion is the edition and color, keep the order.

No limit on Hot Wheels production. The fella that asked earlier it can not be combined with 1LE.

Fish-man · 12-31-2012, 07:50 AM

Let's say you get the hotwheels... do you plan on keeping it stock? If not, just layout some cash on mods, like a supercharger and the 1le suspension (kit from gm).

If there was an ls7 coming, I think you'd be waiting A LOT longer than hotwheels ... which we know will be here in a couple months... and be able to drive it this summer.

Why wait? You can ask youself same question of gen6... I am sure there will be lots of people wondering if they should wait.
