New 2014 BRM ZL1 & quick intro

I am a little late to the party…. But now a proud owner of a new 2014 ZL1 Blue Ray Metallic M6 with Recaros. The ZL1 replaces my DD ‘11 BMW 550i with Dinan Stage 5.

I jumped in on the end of year 20% off deal late… so finding what I was looking for in Florida was a problem and I ended up going out of state. (Capitol Chevrolet in AL).

I really wanted the M6 and Recaros, BRM was not my first color choice, but I really like this color – most photos I’ve seen don’t do BRM justice.

The ZL1 is not my first 5th Gen, I am fortunate enough to also have a 2011 Berger SS. Also a 67 pro-touring build in progress, 69 RS/SS with a fresh 496 (631 HP), “like new” low mileage 89 IROC and 2002 35th Anniversary Edition with 645 miles.

I do all of my own wrenching and have a small shop in Tampa, FL.

Just now getting some seat time with about 500 miles so far – this car is a blast to drive. If I am not here, your will find me over at Camaros.net talking first gens.

Tom

Congratulations and beautiful color. Makes me miss my IBM SS I traded my Z in for.

Any pics of he 550i? Why did you decide to trade in the 550? I bet it was a monster with the stage 5

Congratulations! I love the color.

Also, I'm not too far down the road from you. I'm often in Tampa. Maybe I'll see you around!

How do you like the ZL1 compared to the Berger? I would think that it is hands down better than Berger for less money.

Congratulations and welcome. The BRM is a gorgeous color and you are right that pics do not do it justice.

Well done.

Congrats.

I traded my BRM V6 in for my VR ZL1.


The BRM is a awesome color. You have to see it in person to appreciate it.
