Regret Buying The LT1?
I recently financed a '21 LT1. Got it used with barely any miles on it. The price I paid for it I could have gotten a brand new 1SS or even a 2SS last year. I was too impatient to finally upgrade to a V8.
I'm just kicking myself because I do love the gauge cluster, screen, and bumper on the SS's, but there was just none near me. I need someone to help me feel better about the purchase |

Less stuff to eventually go wrong on the LT1. I wanted cloth because summers on black leather can be brutal.
Cheaper tires if you don't go wider. You have a more classic, stripped down style muscle car vibe. You're still rocking a v8 camaro. You lack the ridiculous wing the SS models have, and can now add your own.

You have a super awesome v8 that is a clean slate for you to mod to your liking. And to be honest, the LT1 now has a GM splitter available to makes it look pretty good.

^^^^What he said. The splitters out for them do a lot for the front end.

Sell it and buy the car you truly wanted. Now is the best time to sell one if you are not happy. If it was me and I felt like you, I wouldn't be able to talk myself into settling for something when I wanted something else.
Sorry, I know you want people to talk you into feeling better about your choice, but when I'm buying something like a Camaro, I'm buying the one I want. If you take a bit of a loss... Lesson Learned... Still better to get into what you want, then settle... (In my opinion...!) |

You may be able to sell your LT1 to Vroom for enough that you don't really take much of a loss, anyway. Then, just sit tight for supply to come back and buy what you really want. I know that's not terribly helpful advice if you're in a situation where you need *a car,* and I'm telling you to sell your only one, with no hope of buying the one you want immediately. Still, it sounds like the SS is really what you wanted. |

Sell it and buy the spec you want. I bought a Mustang GT even though I grew up around Camaros. After I bought it I found myself continuously looking at Camaro listings, 2.5 weeks later I came home with my SS instead. No point in paying for a car you don't truly want, they're too expensive for that.
