What are the Must-have Options to Get with the 2017 Camaro?
Source: chevrolet.com Have you bought a new car lately? If so, have you notice the ever-increasing amount of options you were given? Chevrolet, like most major automakers, has numerous trim options; including, the LS, LT, Premier, RS, SS, and so on. And just like the Malibu, Cruze, and Impala, the 2017 Camaro offers the 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, 2SS, and ZL1.
Oh, and there's this one... the GT4.R Camaro, but this one's not available at your local Chevy dealership.

The Options You Should Seek with Your 2017 Camaro
Torque News' Mary Conway takes a stab at answering the question of 'which options to get?'The question was posed by a driver who is looking to buy the car of his dreams, a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro, on a budget. Spartan just joined a popular Camaro forum and asks, “I'm in the market for getting a new Camaro At the moment I'm just waiting for the first pay check to kick in for my new job so I can get a feel for the type of budget I can work for in financing. I'll be coming from a G35 so this will be a huge upgrade for me in power. Hopefully I don't kill myself. Anywho, what do you think is a MUST have option for your SS? I'm saying SS because I'll be going big or going home.”
It is smart of Spartan to ask people who have had Camaros before, because they can help him avoid some serious pitfalls. Many things can be added or changed later, but some things are incredibly expensive to upgrade, after the fact.
Lypse was first to answer. “Going big would be the ZL1. However if you're going with an SS then I'd say get the 1LE package!”
Jack’s reply was more in the spirit of the question and he was brief. His big recommendation is “Dual mode exhaust.” And several other Camaro owners quickly agreed.
An owner who calls himself Chevy elaborated on the exhaust. “Dual mode exhaust and magnetic ride control are must have options, IMHO. I would also say the stuff that comes with the 2SS trim is also very nice to have, but MRC and NPP are the must have options ignoring 1SS vs 2SS.”
