Whats Best for me 2LT or 2SS?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Brently7785 · 09-24-2009, 10:03 AM

I am looking to get my first Camaro!!! I have always wanted one since I was a little kid and saw a 3rd Gen in the limited white and orange stripes. I am having the hardest time in the world trying to decide on colors and V6 or V8. This car will be a daily driver for me and will be on highways most of the time. I live in MI which has cold and sh*&%y winters but I will be storing it durning the winter. I have driven both and they are both powerful and fast, just not sure if I need the 2SS or not. Is it really worth it over the 2LT?

Secondly, colors are killing me...keep seeing what I like and change my mind every 2 min. Going with CGM/BLK, VR/BLK, IBM/BLK or BLK/Beige???? What looks best???

Going to b making my order soon...any suggestions??

As far as LT or SS goes do you mind spending more $ for more power? If price isn't a factor I'd go SS. As far as color goes I'd suggest that you really see all the colors in person. I personally went from black to IOM to RJT. I went to 2 dealerships to see RJT in person, once in cloud cover and again in bright sunlight. Sorry this isn't more of a clear cut answer, best of luck and make sure you get something that you are happy with.

Daily driver thorugh the winter, I would go with a 2LT. Got one myself for year-round driving and am very satisfied! Keep in mind if you get the RS package, they are summer only tires.

Brently7785 · 09-24-2009, 10:33 AM

its more of an whats better as far as driving and comfort I guess...

Money isnt a factor really and I can afford either one. Agree on the colors thing tho. I have gone and seen a SIM and BBY but didnt like either. I called the chevy dealership close to me and asked them to call me when they get the colors I like in or of an oder someone else as made so I can make a decision on what I like best

Brently7785 · 09-24-2009, 10:34 AM

the quick dealer test drives suck to....The drive is fun but I want a longer 24hr drive or something!

Scott@Bjorn3D · 09-24-2009, 10:36 AM

Get the 2SS if you are going to store it in the winter. Granted the V6 has plenty of power but would hate for you to kick yourself a year or 2 from now saying I should got the SS.

OR

You could get the 2LT now and drive it until the Z28 comes and then upgrade to it. Just love confusing you don't I

I agree, If you are just after the "look" go with the LT. You will still get that awesome Camaro look but with less cash and better fuel economy.

I wanted the LT because it is my daily driver, I also live in Michigan and didn't want to spend the extra when it will be stored 5-6 months.
My husband said, "We can't buy a Camaro unless it's a V8!" So we got the V8

That said, everyone always asks which it is, LT or SS...so unless they are die hard Camaro fans

...Most people can't even tell the difference.

As far as color...I picked IOM sight unseen. Never even seen the 2010 Camaro at all when I ordered mine.
The only other colors I would consider, now that I have seen them, are White and ABM.
But honestly, color is a personal choice.

There are NO black and white answers to your questions..... It's all about personal choices and what you like and what works for you.

SilverIce1 · 09-24-2009, 10:51 AM

I have the perfect answer for you!

Buy the Camaro and pick white because white is the combination of all colors!

AnnaBear@SpartaChevy · 09-24-2009, 10:52 AM

I agree with the last poster...there are no black or white answers here. Most importantly go with what you want!

That being said, if $$ is not an issue go with the highest model that you can. You won't be sorry, I am sure of that!

Let me know if you would like help getting your order placed. I have allocation and also honor all legitimate GM discounts and incentives.

Call me or PM me!

mrcowboy · 09-24-2009, 10:54 AM

If you want to drive during the winter....V6...store it....V8. As far as color your on your own there...
