I also want all the creature comforts; leather, etc. So, I ask you, the experts, the people who have amazed me with your knowledge of this fine vehicle; which is the right Camaro for me? I know some of you may not feel I am worthy of this car simply because I want to buy it only because I love the way it looks, and I respect your opinion, but please don't flame me. Help me. Which Camaro do I buy?

Whatever engine you get, get it with a stickshift if you enjoy more excitement.

I bought the car for looks. If that's what you want to do....go ahead and do it! You won't regret it.

I did it!!! Just bought a brand new Black 2013 2lt w/RS package. I did so much research and drove all the models, even had an extended two day test drive with the 2LT. Taking delivery Thursday. This is absolutely the car for me. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to reply to my original post. Your comments really helped!!

I'd recommend a 2LT/RS for the simple reason it gets 28+ mpg, has HID headlights, and the 18" BF Goodrich All Weather Tires with Heritage Rims fit on it for the winter so you don't ruin your 20" RS rims.

The BF Goodrich tires last a long time and have a smooth ride. Plus, they've handled everything Mother Nature has thrown at me last winter and this winter, including 13" of snow the day after Christmas in Indiana.

rocknRllr · 02-26-2013, 06:57 PM

I'd go with the majority 2LT/RS the RS package provides a lot of cool options and the V-6 provides good power and fuel mileage.

Congrats on your new Camaro.

xkloid · 02-27-2013, 06:50 AM

I would say get the 2LT non RS version with the 19 inch polished aluminum wheels and all season tires, it is a very comfortable ride and has plenty of power. With the RS package you will be in the same situation with summer only tires unless you want to spend the money and have winter tires and change them out. As a daily driver it is an excellent car and the LFX engine is nothing to sneeze at. You will not have the HID headlights but you can get halo lights after market.

Oops I see you purchased the RS version anyway....oh well

Brutal SS · 02-27-2013, 06:54 AM

2LT! That is definitely the Camaro for you!
