What do used ZL1s go for? I imagine they're either hooned to high heavens or they're babied and driven 500 miles a year.

Depending on how specific of options and preference of usage/condition, a 6th gen ZL1 will run mid-$50k's and up. Its not a terribly small chunk of change (especially for something used) but they offer some *serious* performance/cost value IMO.

Well, I was guessing about correct on that then. Theyre a good value performance wise, for sure.

Yep, so they're not cheap in the general sense.. but they are certainly cheap for what they are! Then again, the same could be said for any of these cars with (at least) the NA LT1..

YES I would.
Or even a used SS from 2016 and newer (6th gen) The 6th gen is better in every department. It's quite a bit faster and a lot more premium. |

I can say this though, the 6th Gen is a special ride. In these I’ve only been in SS’s or ZL1’s, but I can imagine the LT1 to be quite similar to the SS. If you can swing a 6th Gen, you’ll love it and you should (imo), go this way.

Do the cam...if you like the 5th gen old school muscle car look. Great upgrade for a 5th gen. And unless its a 1le or Zl1....I cant get past the 6th gen look.

First off thank all of you for your comments and thoughts. Doing some more research today and also taking a ride down to a local dealer I made some choices. That dealer is getting a 1lt in soon with most of the options I want basically everything but the recaros and in the color I want. So when that come in they will call me for a test drive.
I would love a zl1 6th gen but a little out of my price range. And from my research and seeing what these do in the 1/4 mile. I think I could just do headers and other bolts and be happy for a while and when I want more power just go heads cam. These thing fly Na. Talked to the shop that does my tuning to and the head tuner loves these 1lt models.

My other question is if I get one with out the recaros what are some good seat options. That I can put in the car. Since I may go for the one the dealer is getting in rather then custom order a car
Dealer told me when I order it it will take 12-16 weeks to come in

I would order a LT1 with the options you want Mike including the Recaro seats. Go take a test drive in the one the dealer is getting in and make a decision if you want to buy it or order one. The Recaros are a nice option to get. Good luck!

You could always find a set of used Recaro pull-outs down the road...
FYI- no heat option available in the LT1. The cooling option can be made to work.

short answer - yes.
long answer - i skipped the 5th generation entirely with regard to camaros. had 3g & 4g. in 2018 i talked myself into a newer platform and began searching late 5g 1LE cars. at that time, for a few thousand more, i was into a (used) 6g 1LE. when you drive a car and don't believe it's GMs cheap performance car, its time to pull the trigger. they're light years ahead of 5g in every performance regard.
