Your 1st question is complicated. Over the last 10 years I have owned 5 Camaros (6 now) and dumped a ton of cash down the toilet. But had a ton of fun. I thought My A10 ZL1 was going to be a keeper. But as good as the A10 is I really missed that M6. And like my TT 2013 1LE it was too much for the street, but lots of fun at Atco.
I accidently sold my Bolton '16 2SS in two days privately to get the ZL1 without the complexity of a trade. It happened too fast, as the smiling new owner drove away I thought "S**T what did I just do?" :(
So I took my ZL1 to CarMax and got $3k more than a dealer would give me I decided to sit on that for a while with no Camaro. Can you imagine?
Then the LT1 came out and after seeing what I could get on it I decided to order one and combine that with meeting Becky and a delivery in what used to be Motor City. Being able to get NPP, sunroof, Bose, and Recaros on a M6 LT1 sealed the deal.
Almost all of what the LT1 does not have I do not miss except:
Heated seats (hoping to add that)
HUD (I will add a shift light to make up for no HUD)
I also love drag racing and it will be fun to keep it stock and try to get into the 11s with just tires and a Rotofab. And my warranty is intact so far (mostly).
My 17" Dragstars will be going on the LT1 if Atco reopens.
17" Rims do fit even on an SS and on the ZL1. However with all that ZL1 super cooling it is a great hot-lapper at the drag strip. However at number 2 or three the rear calipers will expand enough to touch the 17" rims. I wondered what that squeaking was. :(. My Dragstars still have the ZL1 scars. But now they are a little lighter.
