Trying to decide on 2016 or wait for LE SS
I test drove the SS 1 6 speed loved everything about it , maybe don't love the spoiler , can't help but wonder if I should wait for 2017 LE edition seems like that kind of car could use some performance upgrades to reach its full potential ,also my rule of thumb is usually don't buy first year cars, I also love the tail on the pics of the 2017 much more classic but I wonder if that car will be a harder daily driver if its track dominant I do plan to take it to the track but not soley for that.. what are your thoughts ?

My thought? Use more punctuation. I tried three times to read that.

And I'd get a 16 and put bigger wheels on it. But I value the more drivable SS over the stiffer 1LE. The SS is stiff enough as it is.

If you are going to daily drive it and want the creature comforts...than the 2SS is probably better suited for you. Not to mention the standard SS seems like quite a track beast already. However I'm just guessing the 1LE will cost about 5-6k, which will put it right in line with a 2SS as far as price, since it is only optioned on the 1SS.
Side note: you know you have the option to put the same blade spoiler on the SS now for I believe about $600.

So when I add navigation, dual exhaust , and magnetic ride to a 1SS comes about 39K,
If I add 2ss to get leather seats and magnetic ride and blade spoiler comes to about 43K, thats where I figure the point in between is the LE 2017 which gets all of that |

I thought about that until I read the wing, splitter, and other 1LE parts would be available soon. I love the 1LE wheels too!

I think the spoiler as an option on the 2016 is on hold right now. One of the members put it on his SS and there was a hole left exposed on the lid. It works on the LT models, but not the SS right now. Here is the thread: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showth...ighlight=Blade

I want the eDiff, but it looks like that won't be available. I understand why though.

In a year there will be more aftermarket offerings for things like spoilers and other options.

Im not gonna race every light some daily driving will ensue, but I plan to push the car a bit, weekend trips windy roads, blow away some foreign cars and some mustangs. I do plan to get involved on the amateur track, some straight away and some tracks I would like to make it a hobby if I'm going to treat myself with this car The salesman said I can see why you want that car LE he was Impressed with my ability to hit the corners down shift hard and he let me really push the car . I mean I really enjoyed just the 1 SS, I definitely need dual exhaust MRC made the car very forgiving * I'm in georgia for grad school near atlanta and the STREETS ARE THE WORST IN THE WORLD. I would want the diff track sport modes, Not sure if I need the extra navigation if one can just link to iPhone instead? I want the blade spoiler Not sure about Brembo brakes , Kind of think I want the leather on the 2SS it was truly beautiful ... I do find the 1 SS with suede Recaro seats looked nice on those pics LE. |

my other rule of thumb in life is I rarely ever bought the first year of a car design
