I traded my 13 ZL1 for my current 17 2SS.
I was at Camarofest 2 in Phoenix in 2011 when the ZL1 was unveiled to the public and it was my goal, but thought it would never happen, to own one. My dealer was always asking me to trade in my 10 2SS because my trade in are always very clean like new and I told them find me a 1LE or ZL1 and I will consider it. Finally in Dec 2013 a 13 Blue Ray Metalliac with 5000 miles was traded and I finally owned a ZL1 Supercharged Camaro.
Loved the car! Pulled like a freight train. A monster in hiding. You can drive it easy or you can drive it hard and it likes both. Awesome, Awesome car!
The first time I saw a 6th Gen I thought it was great looking car but was not ready to give up my Z. Took a SS for a ride one day, it was nice, good power, nice ride.
Then a month or so later drove thru the dealer and seen my current 17 2SS. Loved the white, black stripes and black wheels it was a very hard decision but decided to go for it.
You an tell it is built on a different platform. Feels lighter, more nimble. Very Fast. Does not pull as hard as the ZL1 but it can certainly keep up and even equal it. When you pass a car with either SS or ZL1 you are if front of them doing 90 before you even realize it.
I can't say which is better, both have their great parts. They are two very different cars but also two very similar.
