Thinking of trading in for a V

IMO cadilllac...might as well buy some touch of grey for your hair.....lol

Not necessarily true. Mine (2013 ss) has full bolt ons and a healthy cam (478 rwhp) and my V is still more fun and not much slower and it is still stock. If you drive a v after an ss then it will all make sense. Hence why I have both plus a Z06.

Why is a V more fun than a muscle car? Is it because you have more cushy for your tushy?

No matter what you do to your car, there will always be someone who will come out with a faster/ quicker more performance oriented car. Either the big manufacturers will produce it or an individual. just build your car to,what you expect and have fun.

Man, I love my camaro and camaros in general. But if I could have bought a CTS-V instead, I def would have.

Sorry but not everyone wants more power......

You could've bought a used one like this person!

I had a trailblazer SS that was a heavy vehicle that I thee bolt on's and a cam in. I thought that the Camaro SS was going to be as fast if not faster. It's not and I miss it. The V just seems like it has more technology and horsepower then a SS with a L99. After spending the money to get it back to that level of seat of your pants feel I might as well get a V that has all of that with no issues that come with moding a vehicle.

Well , a ZL1 has the Camaro looks and the V technology and HP! But did you try the LS3 before you bought the L99?

Hahaaahaaa my SS seats were way more cushy than the Recaro's in the V. SS was softer sprung, more body roll, floaty compared the V.

Performance-wise yes, but the interiors are drastically different (mainstream vs luxury) which may or may not be important to the OP.

[xstuntman]

A Caddy is what grown-ups drive. Of course at fifty i'm firmly in my second childhood so luxury sedans can suck it.

You know what you really want is a blower and to keep hanging out with the cool kids.

[SSGUNNER]

Nah, I would def stick with the ZL1. I'd rather have a truck with the luxuries than a sedan.

ZL1 for performance please.

OP where does it end? whats the purpose of the extra hp? i dont understand how anyone could complain that a SS is "slow". whats the end result, a John Force Funny car with 7000 HP ? i dont see the logic on some of these threads. be happy with the SS, make some mods and drive the car. it seems like it just falls into EGO and braggin rights and not common sense or practicality. just my 2 cents worth

Hey, some people just like different things, he wants a faster car, and if he's got the money to get what he wants then more power to him.

I would agree the SS isn't slow, but the CTS-V is faster, it just sounds like OP wants more power and I think the decision to buy something that's faster stock will be a more reliable one than supercharging his current car. It certainly makes way more sense from the money side, you'll never see that 7-8k again from the Camaro, but the CTS already comes with it.
