I absolutely love this car.
Tires of course, I'm on my 3rd set. Replaced the supercharger for the rattle at 68k miles and getting ready to replaced the rears shocks/struts. Also replaced the interior suede shift knob because of wear. Other than that the car is awesome.

I had the throttle issue too. It was random. I just replaced it and haven't had the issue since.

Vroom, did you replace the throttle position sensor or something else? I thought I read that you replaced the gas pedal. Rock Auto has that for about $85.

The sensor on the pedal is two sensors, if they are out from eachother it goes into limp mode. It happened sporadically. I think I thought it was the TPS too, but when I profiled the pedal, I could see the occasional dip on one half when it threw the code. You might have the same problem. The sensor is at the top of the pedal, that's what I replaced.

Mine is pretty low mileage. Bought it new in Oct '15. I think I have just over 6000 miles on it. They have been pretty good miles though. 4 track days, 1 trip to the drag strip, and 2 autocrosses.

My 2012 ZL1 has just over 2,000 miles on it.

That will change drastically once the weather warms up enough for me to actually drive it. I do a lot of miles (at least 40,000 a year), and most will be put on this car, I am afraid.

In fact I am torn. To keep value I need to keep it low mileage. But on the other hand, I did not buy a new car to NOT drive it. What to do?

This is too good a car not to drive. Value - well, if you want to hedge your bets it'll be worth something in 30 years, you might want to save it.

Otherwise - drive it like you stole it! I'm putting on approx 18K a year, and loving every mile of it. Was talking to a guy who finally lost his transmission on his. Had 240,000 miles on it. They last!
