And it's amazing how many people stop me and say something about this car. Two days ago I went to the dealer for something. People were walking up to the car, looking in, walking around. As I waited for the service writer one guy circled the car 3 or 4 times and didn't take his eyes off it for ten minutes. Next a father and his boy walk around it and stared at it. The boy even caressed the mirror. At the auto part store today, a couple guys in a mustang were being effusive about the way the car looks. In a 'stang! And yesterday while driving past a bus stop, some mom and friend with her baby in a stroller yelled out, "That's sweet! Tricked out!". Finally, this car with the dual-mode exhaust, just sounds amazing. I've heard and drove tuned German cars and there's nothing quite like the V8 sound of a small block chevy! |

Listen to what Jeremey Clarkson (Top Gear) says about BMW drivers. He hates them. And a husband of my wife's school friend said to his wife, upon hearing I ditched my Audi S4 for a Camaro, "Wow. I'm surprised and impressed. I though he was one of those BMW guys." I've gotten a rash of crap from people at work in the Silicon Valley, a place where American cars are the clear minority, about my Camaro. Luckily I really don't care and wasn't affected by their comments. But my point is this. People have stereotypes no matter what. But all stereotypes, personas and brand images aside BMW and Audi do make great cars. In the Car and Driver article they were effusive about the BMW 335i. Every Camaro driver should read it. They said it was he most consistent car in the track three years running. At the end of the day what I really care about is that Chevy is making some kick butt cars with the ZL1 and the 1LE. And with great engineering and incredible cost management Chevy have built a contender to go toe to toe with the Germans. I'm a proud owner and incredibly happy to have bought American. People are going to judge me in this car. And I don't care. I'm happy and love the NPP rumble. Same way the BMW guys love their ultimate driving machines. Now let's go kick some booty on the track and keep these VIR results alive in 2013. |

Sellin Chevy's since '06

It's funny because there's a starbucks close to my house in a rather snoody corner of the woodlands TX. I went up there on Sunday to buy a lb of coffee and there's always Porsches and BMWs all up there. I got the Evil stare and a couple of like OMG look at this white trash guy. I rolled up with the windows down banging rock music and wearing a Chevrolet Racing jacket.
Chevy drivers have an image and persona to upkeep as well. whitetrash mullet heads loud cars loud music MERICA

I am not sure what you are implying, but you super expensive V-10 M5 is slower than the 1LE in every way. 0-100 isnt even a contest. Stick to the right lane on the highway and you should be fine though....

On the highway, that M5 would gobble us up. Didn't the M6 beat the ZL1 in straight line acceleration on one of the magazine comparisons? Motor trend I believe (convertibles).
The M5 is nice and a different purpose car but for the price tag impossible to beat the 1LE bang for the buck out the factory.
