New Favorite Car
I picked up a Black 2014 ZL1 A6 last week and finally found "The" car; well, the car for me anyhow.
I haven't grinned this much since I bought my 03 Cobra (supercharger torque) only this car is better looking (IMO), more comfortable, easier to drive, better handling, and faster. I have owned more sports cars than I'm willing to admit but here is the short list: - 2012 Camaro SS M6 - 2011 Mustang GT C/S (wife's car and still own) - 2010 Corvette Convertible A6 - 2007 BMW 335i - 2003 Z06 - 2003 Cobra - 1994 Cobra (Vortech Supercharged) - 1972 Buick GS - ... Part of the reason I've owned so many cars is that I have been looking for the perfect car. I almost bought an 06 GTO because I love the seats and they are a blast to drive but I couldn't get past the average/plain looks. The Z06 is great at the track but sucks for road trips; which is why I didn't buy a C6 Z06. The BMW is fun, good looking, and comfortable too but to HPFP/Injector/etc. issues are frustrating. I know the Shelby is faster, and the new Corvette is probably a better "all around" sports car, but I'm happy, because I finally found MY dream car.

Very nice way to describe this grin I've had since November. This is the perfect muscle car IMHO.
Welcome to the club.

Taking from the post I gather the OP has been around the block a few times with much experience in contemporary hot rides. This is quite an endorsement. Enjoy the ride! It's all that and then some. It's hotrod heaven.....with all the comforts to boot! But, will it stay that way, or shall you trade it in when the ashtrays get full as the old saying goes...only time will tell..

I concur. I too have bought a lot of performance cars over the last 10 years and find the ZL1 to be the most complete. That said, my Mustang GT Premium Coupe was by far the best bang for the buck. I still miss that car. My next ride will be some form of the C7, either the Z51 or Z06. My daughter will be old enough by then. 2013 ZL1 M6 2012 Mustang GT 5.0 Premium Coupe M6 2008 E90 M3 (Sedan) M6 2006 E46 M3 M6 2004 Nissan 350Z Auto 2002 Nissan Maxima Stillen Supercharger Auto 1995 Pontiac Firehawk #615 M3s were great, but I'm not a fan of high revving engines. I like low-end TORQUE!!
