Daily Driver?

Any of you ZL1 guys daily driving it? I am considering trading in my SS for a ZL1 and was wondering if I am the only one planning on using it as an everyday car?

I drive mine once every one to 2 weeks but it would make an excellent daily driver. Ride is smooth.

Mine gets driven most days, either by me when I am in town or by my wife when I am traveling for work. My drive is about 70 miles round trip and I love it!

Mines a daily driver. Put about 50-60 miles on her a day. I bought this car to enjoy it and I do

Daily driver here. I fill up every two weeks, same as with my old GPX, but that had a 16 gallon tank and ran on 87 octane, but I still wear a Perma-Grin whenever I slide behind the wheel.

zl1 is realistically not a wise choice for daily driver. If someone can't afford or have room for a daily driver and a ZL1 don't buy a ZL1.
