Now part B: Anyone who bought the V6 regret not getting the SS?
I know I will not regret not getting the SS.

Reason #1 I had a 2010 V6 Camaro and it was about 30HP Less than the 2016 V6 and it was fast enough 0-60 in 5.01 Sec.
Reason #2 I don't like the look of the SS front end or the harder ride from the Low profile tires.
We both have the C7 Z51 and know it is Fast, handles Great, and Ready for the track. But I do not Track it. So I will be Very Happy with the 2LT V6 Gen.6 with the Conv. & lighting Pkg. that gives me extras my 2014 C7 Z51 does not have.

I ordered my C7 Z51 with Magnetic ride control and thought it might soften the ride some, but it did not.

I test drove the Gen6 SS and even with the low profile tires it rode MUCH more comfortably than my C7
Plus MUCH less road noise from the tires and Not hearing ever little pebble hitting the fender wells.

C7 is better, because the Camaro doesn't have coat hangers.

Why in the world would GM assume Camaro drivers don't have coats? Or was it done in an effort to reduce weight?

These morons are making an inside joke because I previously posted that I'm annoyed that the 2016 Camaro SS doesn't include the same rear clothes hangers that it's chassis-mate the ATS-V has.
I guess broke people can't understand taking pride in the care of expensive clothing.
I also find it amusing that the biggest trolls on here are still saving their pennies for their imaginary 2016+ Camaros.

Just ignore the stupidity and trolling of the fan bois that can't accept the possibility that GM is capable of making any bad decisions.
This guy...

I drove the CTS-V but felt the the ZL1 was the better track car. The M-B was greatly over rated and the seats were hard as rocks.

Thanks, it has been very useful. No other way to keep 3 cars in a 2 car environment.

Same here. I didn't put much down on the Camaro and I wouldn't want to pay much more. And I'd probably want a nearly loaded Vette.

Nice Garage & Great Neon lights!

A Lift is the only way I had to store my 4 cars in my 2 car + 1 car garages.

Why did you decide to trade in your C7 for the 6th gen Camaro
