Try to find a used one with all the goodies. I picked up a supercharged 2010 SS with for a decent price and came with brand new 22s. I would of paid the same without the goodies. Shop around, don't rush yourself into a big disappointment.

Sounds like a SS/RS is what you should get. The ZL1 is a great car, but unless you are going to be racing it... what's the point? Where are you going to use that extra horsepower? It's going to be your DD so I assume you will not have the opportunity.

Drive a SS/RS and see what you think. I think you will be impressed and come to the conclusion that you don't need any more HP than it provides. And for a DD, the SS will get much better MPGs than the ZL1 - if that's a concern for you.

The 2013 was the fourth year of production for the Gen5s. There were some issues with the earlier model years, but nothing serious. The '13s have several general improvements over the '10-'12s and (in my biased opinion) is the best looking of the post Gen4 Camaros... including the new 2016 Gen6.

Take your time. Test drive your options. Ask lots of questions. And make the best decision based on that. Good luck!

I know it's a 14 and not a 13 but it's still beautiful haha. Just not sure if it's worth the price tag

Ahh if only cars were as cheap in Canada as they are in the US. Those cars are 60K here :(
I still think I prefer the 2013 honestly. Aside from the interior maybe

I think this is exactly what I was thinking. The ZL1 is gorgeous but when am I really going to use/need that much power. The hardest part will be finding a 2013 black SS/RS with a 6 speed I think

If the ZL1 is more than you want to spend, take a look at an SS with the 1LE package. Great handling for not much more than an SS.
