For me now its more between the 3lt (for the options as a v6), but the LT1 for the v8.. they are pretty much the same price. I cant afford the 2ss at this point because i'm gonna lose so much on the Forte GT. BUT yes when I had my 2014 v6... I did wish I got a V8 and will feel like i'll have that same regret again.

Any chance you can wait a bit longer and then buy a 2SS? Or maybe get a used one once prices on those start to drop, which is likely to happen?

Of course, all of the above is contingent on whether or not you have a family as I can see where putting in 3-4 hours a day after work may not make for a happy home life. |

So, the worst decision you can make is indecision. I often struggle with this same mindset, so I can understand, but know that there is no perfect time or trim or set of options when ordering a new car. Actually, anything you do will carry some associated risk, and despite the fearmongering you may have heard, not all used Camaros are beaten, revved to the moon continuously for hours and treated like garbage with no maintenance. The LT1/LT4 can take some hard driving, the entire car is designed to be driven like a proper sports car. You have just lost out on almost 5 years of pure enjoyment, don't make the same mistake again.

UPDATE:
After some moving stuff around... I will be able to get a 2ss!! I'm so excited!! SOOO, tell me your favorite options and must get options! I know about the Dual mode exhaust. Is it worth getting a spoiler now? or down the line since it already comes with one.

trim level...get the best as you will always be able to use the extra bells and whistles while you are in traffic.engine...this truly depends on your location and driving habits.i live in the 2nd fastest growing county in the USA and most of the time the V6 is more than enough.if you like doing burnouts and have lots of room on the road pop for the V8.

Hopefully you're making a great financial decision as being car poor can suck the life out of your social life but it also will force you to be disciplined as you'll find that you'll be more satisfied with what you drive. Good luck with your selections and congrats on the upgrade. |

I Vote summit white. I personally had alot of those features of a 2ss on a mustang gt i had and realized they didn’t matter to me. I care about performance and handling. The only reason I like the npp is thw quad tips. I care not about making it quiet and at full open A Corsa or an AWE sound better. I would personal buy an LT1 and super charge it for around the price of 2ss and eventually upgrade suspension. Wouldn’t have alot of the upgraded feature but it would be a beast on the streets and flexing on any stock 2ss at a cars and coffee. If not that a 1ss 1LE. Want the performance over the tech.

Also I think I want tech and the v8 why I'm going for the 2ss, or else I would have went for the 3LT or LT1 like you said. I want the HUD and spectrum lighting, and the leather. I had a V6 in the past and always wished I got a V8.
