However, unless you're tracking or street racing your 5th Gen. Coupe, you're not "upgrading to an SS" unless you're getting into a convertible (either an LT or an SS).
Driving a 5th Gen. Chevrolet Camaro may be "priceless", but owning a 5th Gen. Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is not just "driving a Camaro". It's a way of life.

Ironic how you can state (in the same sentence) that when someone states they are 'upgrading' from an LT/V6 to an SS/ V8, it's not really upgrading, yet going from a coupe to a convertible is. 'Upgrading' is often based on opinion and personal preferences. For example, I personally prefer a coupe over a convertible and consider going from an LT or SS convertible to an LT or SS coupe a definite upgrade, while others may think the exact opposite. Just like going with an LT or SS, no right or wrong, just a matter of personal choice
