CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Looking for opinions / experience -- SS vs ZL1.

I see you are in Michigan, aka worst state in the union for car insurance. When I was shopping for my car, Decision #1 was had to be a convertible. So Corvette Z06, Grand Sport, Camaro ZL1, and SS were on the table. Insurance for the SS Convertible was ridiculous. Insurance for all the others was "get the <rhymes with duck> outta my face". I have an incredibly clean driving record.

As it turns out, the Fifty convertible caught my eye. So even though it's 455 hp compared to 650, the opportunities to utilize anywhere near the max potential of the SS are few and far between. For the ZL1, even fewer and farther between. I would never be able to justify paying all the extra insurance for a benefit I wouldn't really use.
