I had hoped to purchase the new ats-v but unfortunately it's not in my budget. So I'm now torn between a used cts-v coupe and the next gen camaro. I currently drive a mustang GT and I was thoroughly disappointed with the looks of the 2015 mustang. So I figured I why not try owning a GM vehicle for once.

Most definitely getting one. I am however going to try my hardest to get a 2017 MY at the end of that production year. Has nothing to do with worry over first year issues and everything to do with price. I didn't get hardly anything off my 2010 when I bought it in 2009. Dealers felt they were doing me a huge favor just offering the car for MSRP. Not going through that again. I am going to try and wait until the demand comes down with some good discounts. I say that now but of course I could end up caving in. Lol.

I'm in the market, but it would need to be really impressive to make it to the top of my list

Not at all: Z28 has the 12K$ carbon brakes, F1 type shocks, expensive aero and optional AC, no radio, some weight reduction, different wheels tires, beefier drivetrain and more cooling, dry sump, custom CAI...etc

All this adds up and make the Z28 too expensive. Like I said, a stock 1LE with ZL1 brakes and LS7 with beefier drivetrain would be way cheaper and would destroy almost anything on a track.

It will in a straight line but not a circuit. A stock SS will never have agressive tires like the 1LE , suspension and gearing. Look at the new Mustang with track pack; no match for the 1LE.

We have to understand not every one wants a 1LE as a DD. Those F1 G2 tires are very agressive and you have to hold on tight to that steering wheel at all time.

Top performer like a 1LE gives the Camaro a good rep, but its not their top seller.

I could not buy another Camaro without the 1LE package unless the next gen is very close to it. The 1LE is the best car I ever had...for now. Just need a LL solid roller and ported heads in it now.

Dude this car is gonna be their "halo" car. It's gonna be priced up there with the Z/28 'you cant afford it' category. It has carbon fiber rims, like wtf. It's like muscle exotic. Also I wouldn't wanna own a Ford 'pioneered flat plane crank motor' if they can't warranty a 5.0 DOHC Boss engine with the red key.

Now to get back on topic, I'm real interested in the 6th gen but I doubt I'll own the first year. I also told myself I'd never not have a Camaro after my 1st 5th gen back a few years ago, so who knows.

You're disappointed in the look of a car that you haven't seen..?

The 350 is not their "halo" car. It's priced around 56k. The 350r is the one with the carbon rims and will prob be around 65k. Still not their halo. (Production only around 500) I'm sure there will be a big HP car out. 525 is not cutting it considering the outgoing Gt500 had excess of 640. I have never been a mustang fan but I am impressed with them lately. I'm confident Gm is on board and expect some exciting stuff out of the 6th Gen.

Take a look at how close the C7 performs to the outgoing C6 Z06. I believe we will see something similar with the 6th gen SS compared to the 5th gen 1LE. Maybe not turn faster times, but very close. Stiffer chassis, lighter weight, comments about "keep the 1LE driving feel in mind" seem to support this theory. We will have to wait and see.

I worked very hard, sacrificing all manner of a social life and self-indulgence for two years to get my 2011 SS. I plan on being one of those "30 years from now original owner" stories with it, lmao.

Primarily, though, it's because from what I've seen with the camo shots, I'm not particularly keen on the 6th gen's lines so far. I don't think I'll like how it looks. We'll know for sure soon, though.
