Having a hard time between zl1 front end and the ss front end.

I know the zl1 performance wise is a better car but I'm leaning toward the ss front end it looks better. What do you think?

If a ZL1 is in your budget then it is definitely worth the purchase, but the Camaro SS always is a good looking and performing car.

i love my SS, but if I had the option of getting a ZL1 I definitely would. The performance is indisputable, and you can always change your front bumper/hood/whatever really. I say ZL1 !

I prefer the SS front end. I may be the only one but the zl1 front end looks unfinished to me

I prefer the looks of the SS actually. But for me performance trumps looks in terms of priority. So I would've bought the ZL1 if my budget was just a little higher. But regardless I love my SS.

Maybe at 160 +. But even then, when getting picky about downforce, air flow, air packing.... need to balance the whole car, not just plant the front harder.

99.999 percent do it for looks.

For me looks is everything especially when the ss had a v8 itself I can do extra things to make it a little faster if I want. It's just the ZL1 front end don't look as mean to me as it should
