2017 ZL1 or keep your 5th gen? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I guess like everyone else I can say there is alot I like about it and some I am not crazy about, still would like to see it in person. That being said I would find it hard to take the money hit on my 2013 seeing that I only have a little over 1,300 miles on her.................. and if the 2017 is in that $70k plus range it would be hard not to just go all in and get a ZO6............

For me it just doesn't wow me like the 5th Gen did. And looking at HP numbers alone, the 5th Gen was the top dog in 2012. The 6th Gen, while likely faster, is still behind the Hellcat and discontinued GT500 in pure HP. For me I needed something more in the styling or power to really justify trading in a car that already has more power and spending more money for something new.

Low 60's....sign me up! Thats a steal for what you get!

It will be mine....... I will never sell my 5th Gen ZL1. I will be parking my 6th Gen ZL1 next to it. I'll get the 18 after the mad rush to aquire the 17's has ended and the price gouging abates.

I love the new Z. I have about 70 grand in mine with mods, wheels, etc. But I am seriously tempted to trade.

Robbie1227 · 03-16-2016, 11:21 AM

I'm not crazy about the new European smooth look.
I loved my '13 ZL1 and really love the menacing look of my '15 Z28, so I'm good with what I have... For now, lol

Agree with most of the responses here about the look. Gen 5 just looks right! That's why I'm keeping my fifth gen. I wouldn't trade a gen 5 ZL1 for one either. But Id have no problem getting a 2018 10 spd to dd and make the 15 an all motor build. Also would be the first time considering an auto (knees) for a comfy dd. Would love a gen 5 ZL1 too but they won't have new ones in 2 yrs

BINGO! That is what I was kind of thinking...I want to build my 14 to run 1/2 mile events and I could see me driving the new ZL1 (auto) as my DD (totally stock). Heck now I just need to convince the wife...LMAO

If you do decide to trade be prepared as your mods will = $0 to the dealer and then they will lowball you even more.

looks similar to a srt charger from the front but I like the new wheels

omegaman · 03-16-2016, 12:06 PM

I like the new ZL1 and I want. I always want to own the most powerful production street legal Camaro built. Period.

motorhead · 03-16-2016, 12:07 PM

My ZL1 is already gone in my eyes. I already put my dealer on alert.

ntwoof · 03-16-2016, 12:08 PM

Keep my 13 Vert and maybe buy an 18 used when the prices get below $50K.
