Tough decision for me. Looking for opinions

Hi All

So I have a 1LT RS, Manual, Convenience, and BA at 3400. This is supposed to be my sweet gas mileage car. I already have 3 other V8s to drive.

I am having second thoughts now. Thinking of ordering 1SS RS Manual.

Talked to my very understanding dealer and he said he would order whatever I wanted but it would not be available until December/January.

So is this just crazy? Obviously, I want the car now ,but want to make sure I get the right one. I think if I get the V8 then I would probably just buy a Cruze later next year for DD. I don't really need another V8.

well if you got a vette and something else, I would say I dont know. Dont really see the need for another v8. And from the vette you will be taking a step down performance wise either way

December or January until you get it ? That seems kind of long. I would ask him whether or not he has any allocations left.

Not a bad idea. Wonder if I would get nailed with depreciation?

This is all subjective so I doubt you will get your answer here.

But if you already have a Vette and other V8s as you said I would just get the V6 Camaro. It will still be a great drive to work and the saving on gas, insurance, premium can be put towards your Vette or any other weekend warrior you have.
