I only drive 10 miles a day, no need for a dedicated set of wheels. I've checked Hankook and Dunlop websites and neither have a 20 inch option for EHP tires. |

Also as Summerwolf mentioned, the 1LE SS has big Brembo's. Brakes should be stout.

For muscle cars, I can't buy V6 anything, I'd get pissed everytime a V8 went passed me.
Also, my head literally touches the roof on 6th gen Camaros, but the SS version is really nice...but at that point I'd just buy a used Corvette Stingray. So there's your answer, no on the V6 1LE. Yes on a used C7. |

Well shit man, your basically looking for 2016+ car. Those prices are not coming down for while. Well, look at this from another view, it's the same engine, just with upgrade brakes and suspension. (And new body style). You could buy a cheap 2015 and just upgrade the same shit your self, bam bobs your uncle, now you have a 1LT model.

Can't afford the C7 and it's probably too fast for me anyway. I've already ruled out the C6 Z51. Quote:

If you have the funds, sit in one, test drive it. If you like it, buy it.
