What I love about my 2LS Camaro that, in many ways, it is the same car as the SS. I'd rather have the "entry" level of a car who's platform is designed around performance, than the "performance" version of a car designed around a budget (think Camaro 2LS versus a Mazda Speed3). I know that isn't exactly the comparison in question here, but that is what it comes down to...what do you want to spend your money on?

Just yesterday, my Mom brought her 2014 Nissan Sentra to the dealership for something. She said she liked it, but liked the way my car rode far better (the way it takes bumps, the way it holds the road, etc). The guy a Nissan asked what I drove. When she said, "Camaro", they said "Well, yeah of course."

That is without a V8, or RS or 1LE package...just the basics. And those basics are pretty damn good.

So...If someone can't enjoy or appreciate the shared DNA between an LS/LT and an SS, then they aren't much of a Camaro enthusiast.
