Did anyone notice the ZL1 vert had the regular eggcrate front grille?

That rear reminds me of 35 infinity. Too much black on the rear bottom of car. Glad I got the 2012. I am not a big fan of the rear lights either.

Well our 2012 and 2013 will be more unique with the style changes, plus for me no more IOM, so i'm a happy camper.

And hopefully more valuable, not that I would EVER consider selling it!

I think the 2014 1LE looks the best of all. The tail lights seem to work, the black matte hood on the silver is AWESOME and the red calipers against the black wheels provides a nice contrast. I was never a fan of the black ZL1 calipers against the black wheels. If I were in the market for a 2014 camaro it would be 1LE exactly as pictured. And for the money...what a bargain!

The lower rear defusser was changed since they where catching to much air at high speeds. The new rear end is supposed to fix the ballooning problem of the defusser at high speeds.

Do we have a fix for our 12/13 cars that doesn't require an ugly ass rear end? I assume this ballooning kill mpg too

I dont care for the taillights but the rear diffuser I really like. Surprised more people like the 12/13 style better.

Funny how that is never mentioned in the video showing airflow around the car? If there is a "ballooning issue I have not personally felt it while driving triple digits. I am sure either opening the rear like they have done or sealing it better underneath with additional plastic would alleviate said issue. It just sounds like a "pulled it out of their ass" type of response? I never heard of a problem with the aerodynamics at high speeds.

I could live with the tail lights, although I prefer the other style more, but all the black plastic really cheapens the look of the car.
