FYI on the "heat option", I negotiated in the price of Leather with Heat rather than the cloth. It's aftermarket through the dealer. The heat switch was placed on the sides of the chair, not the dash. But it does have high and low. Plus you can pick and choose on color of leather, perforations or not.

I never owned a 5th Gen Camaro but rode in one a few times and while it was cool, I was not really impressed.
I test drove (then bought) a 2017 2SS and have been extremely impressed with the car. The 6th Gen is way beyond the 5th Gen. |

From mikemollc:
1. Do you guys think it’s better to just build my current older ss or just hop on the LT1 train.
2. The recaros you can option in the LT1 the have the heated and cooled seats but they aren’t wired from what I seen on this forum is that true.
3. How do these lt1 motors handle and drive with boost not looking to go nuts just 550-600whp are my current goals. (Is there room to grow after)
4. How does the LT1 stack up to the 10 speed 5.0 I was looking at those as well and I have a buddy with a 15 pony with the auto 6 we have done work to and its fast!!
5. How do most cars come equipped from the dealer I heard the cars aren’t being built right now so ordering one might take a while. The must haves for me are auto, the tech pack, but I really want the recaros, dual mode exhaust, black wheels[/QUOTE]
The difference between the new LT1 and the SSes is explained in this link: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=577077

As an owner of a 2010 2SS, I am planning, if it ever is available, to replace it with a 2022 SS.
I don't get the whole LT1 thing, with mo cooling package and no tow hook receiver. |

just traded my 2012..wow what a higher spec car. blown away with the extras included.
imho it's worth it just for the active exhaust and magneride. the upgrade imho just for those 2 things is worth the outlay |

The main thing is that you'd be going from the Zeta chassis to the Alpha Chassis. It's much stiffer, solid, responsive, and lighter. You'd be going from a chassis with it's design roots going back to the late 1990s to a chassis specifically designed in the early 2010s for the Cadillac CTS and 6th gen Camaro. It feels like the whole car was carved out of one solid piece of lightweight aluminum alloy. The 6th gen was engineered as a true road carver from the ground up, and that in combination with the power you want to run will make you forget all about your 5th gen the first time you let it loose.

I do miss the tow hook at the drag strip but if I keep the power within reason and stay away from slicks I will have no use for it (hopefully).

Agreed. Oops, what I meant was with the 5th gen you get a usable back seat and more room inside. The CA6 Camaro is a better SPORTS car.

oh yes it's a much tighter and sportier car to drive. not as comfortable though as the gen5.
i love the gen5 camaro.maybe i'll end up hating this gen6 as i did with the s550 i had for a year. never know may end up back in a gen5 in a few years time lol |

I also miss my 5th gen Camaros, I had 3 of them including a ZL1. My favorite 5th gen was the 2013 orange 2SS 1LE. I loved it as a bolton car running low 12s. But them I added Twin Turbos and ruined it.
