CAMARO6 - View Single Post - New 2017 Camaro 1SS/1LE vs. Used 2016 Corvette Z51 1LT

The best place to buy a new vette is Kerbeck. 15% off MSRP plus additional discounts.

I'd get 2016 Z51 but used though. There's no major difference from 2016-17 except somebody else ate the biggest year of depreciation for you. It may end up being cheaper than a new Camaro.

Also, I'm not sure which performance numbers support the 1LE over the Z51 except for the slightly higher engine output. The 1LE is a heavier car and the Z51 is the 1LE of C7's. Make sure you get it with magnetic ride if you go with the vette though or it's going to be a rough ride when the roads aren't perfect.
