There have been threads on this exact same topic & would never consider modding an ss to save $$$$ vs the 17 ZL1 simply because of the devaluation at hand here.
Anyway, Fact is none of us know what the 17 ZL1 will do on depreciation until this time next year when some will one up with an 18...but again, we are talking vettes & I digress. I got a call from a dealer today where I got my wife's 15 Tahoe to tell me about a 15 loaded stingray I think. I dismissed it as I just don't feel comfortable in the vettes I drove vs the camaro. Just feel like I'm in a coffin for some reason.
I'll call him back tomorrow & get the details as it was around $60k & would be a good baseline for discussion on this ZL1 vs vette topic. I would need you guys help to know what original msrp was to compare. Stand by.

I didnt invest all this money in the SS for someone elses enjoyment later, thats for sure. I can hardly justify dropping - now 52k into the SS - into a car much less the massive markup (as in dealer profit margin) on a ZL1. At what point does any of this make sense?
Muscle cars, boats, off road toys are all stupid investments - justifying otherwise is just lying to yourself. I will bet you any amount of money you will lose $$$ year after year.
I flip homes for a living, so know a little about depreciation, tax laws and cash positive investments. Its how I fund all my stupidity!
