Any SS, LS, LT Camaro Owners Want A ZL1 In The Future?

I See alot of my friends who owns ZL1's on here take "Pride" in their ride and brag about it. You know who you are haha. Some owners on here want to play it (safe) and want their ride to have more MPG. But, if you want HP you got to pay to play.

Are you happy with your SS, LS, & Lt models? Would you consider upgrading to a ZL1 in the near future?

For the cost of the ZL1 and have it not be a "king of the road" car? No. I've already bought an '11 RS and a '12 SS, so my days of Camaro buying are over for a while. I might've pulled the trigger on a ZL1 if it stomped it's competition for the price, but it doesn't unfortunately. It's still a great ride, but proportionately speaking I'm happy with my SS...

If money was right at the time, it'll be a toss up between a ZL1 or GT-R

Before you know it you'll be so deep in the hole you got to dig your way out.

there are some 09-10 GT-R in the $60k-$70k range. So, a used GT-R or a new ZL1? I'd still prolly take the GT-R

My next buy is a used 2012 ZR1 centennial edition, I've never seen a car as fast and beautiful since 1970

Its a real badass car, and I would love to have one someday. But my first "Toy" is going to be a 2008-2010 SRT-10. I can get one for a little less than a ZL1.

Well, I have a SS and can't complain about it. It was a gift so I'm happy with it. Would I want a ZL1, yes, but I'll wait till I'm out of school. Parents are already doing a lot for me
