difference between 2011 2ss and 20132 ss

I am thinking of getting a 2ss and found a 2011 and a 2013 .would like to get the 2011 since its price is lower. the only difference I can see is head unit, wheels and steering wheel. is there any others I missed???


I currently own a 2013 2ls.

just got back from doing the canyons off PCH -- you want the better suspension.
my 2014 2SS handles impressively.

Electric power steering, heads up display and 7 inch touchscreen radio on the 2013's. And they make more power.

I currently own a 2013 2ls.
Electric power steering, heads up display, back-up camera, MyLink system, better suspension, better steering wheel, possible NPP option.

I thought long and hard because I too could've saved about $4,000 going with a 2012 over a 2013, but I chose to spend #$31K on the car I truly wanted rather than $27K on the car I kind of wanted. I am so thankful I made that decision because this car, to me, is PERFECT.

IMO, the 2013 model year is best because it has all the options a 2014 has but without the taillight and rear bumper redesign. I drove 2 hours to get my car. Don't be afraid to look in the 100-200 mile radius. Or maybe even further. You only have to take the drive to get the car of your dreams once.

10-11 is a bad ass looking steering wheel vs. the ergonomic one in the 12+.

I prefer the Unique steering wheel that come in the 2010-11 CAMARO with the Chrome Camaro lettering over the 12+ Steering wheel that is the same one that comes in their economy cars. (Cruze, Aveo, Malibu, etc)

Plus one on the 10-11 steering wheels looking better then the later ones. Gripping one though is awful.

Hey trw427ss, just a curiosity question. Why do the 2013s make more power, other than the electric PS pump?

That would be the only reason...a bit more to the wheels
