In a comparison like this, my question would be how is the car going to be used? The Z28 doesn’t seem to be too practical to drive on the street. Seems like a flat out track car. Just saying!

So would anyone take a 2013 zl1 over a 2017 2ss?

Wow. Couldn’t have said it better myself.. exactly everything I’ve Wen thinking. Wich is y it’s been so hard to make up my mind.. I love the way the z28 looks and even more sounds and also holding value.. but then like u said, all the better technology and luxuries of the 2017’s... I will b using as a daily driver and everyone keeps sayin how much of a pain the z would b like that but I think I would enjoy it regardless... decisions decisions

I think 10 or 15 years down the road the Z may be worth more than the 17 but only it it’s covered up in the garage and driven very few miles a year.

If you're even asking this question, then the answer is definitely the 6th gen. Running costs of the tires and brakes alone wouldn't be worth it unless you're really tracking it, and even then the new 1LE is just as fast if not faster while being much more livable day-to-day.

5th gen Z28 with LS7 needs the valve guides done or at least inspected... I wouldnt trust an LS7 without having them done.

Also the 12 and 13 motors(I believe both years) have issues with the lead free bearings.

Beyond that the LS7 is an awesome motor and super easy to make power.

To me it goes in this order.

2018 2SS 1LE (W/PDR)
2017 1SS 1LE (W?PDR)

2015 Z/28 or 2017 2SS

The Z/28 and 2SS are 2 completely different animals. I would say get the 2SS if you
aren't planning to track the car. However the SS 1LE's are the do everything choice.
I daily mine and even if you are worried about the tire wear you can pick up a used
set of SS wheels and new all-season tires with 50K tread wear for less than $1k.

My personal setup is stock SS 5 spokes with 255/35 and 275/35 General GMAX AS-05 tires.
TPMS reprogram tool is $19 on amazon so I can swap setups at my house without needing
a trip to the dealer.

Hard to not think about that nasty 7.0L and what you can do with it....

As everyone is pointing out. Depends on what you are going to do with the car. If you don't plan on going to a road course, the decision is pretty easy. If you are going to daily drive the car, the decision is easy. If you plan on tracking the car and only driving it on occasion/ nice weather days, I think the decision is easy. The 2017 SS is a much nicer car for day to day and if you ever get the bug to take it to the track, it is perfectly capable and will be great fun. On the other hand, if the car is only going to be occasional use and you plan on taking it to the track (not the drag strip), I feel like the Z/28 has already taken the bulk of it's depreciation and will be a better and more unique car long term. In a straight line the SS is as good or better, but on a road course the Z/28 will be much better.
