Proud owner of a 2013 ZL1 From Dubai!

Hello everyone!

First of all... I have no idea why this is my screen name.... I tried to sign up for the website and it told me that my email is already in use and its under this account? Weird.... I used to be a memberon the LXforums.com under the name of evilsrt8... I don't know if that's the connection???

Anyways! I just arrived from the dealership today. Picked up a brand new ZL1 victory red! A bit about myself. My name is Kareem, I am from Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. I lived in Arizona for 7 years while I was studying there and now I am back home.

A bit about my car past. I've always been a huge American Muscle fan. I started out on the LX platform and owned a 600rwhp 300csrt8, a 700rwhp charger srt8 and a challenger srt8. I then moved to the Caddilac platform. I owned a 728rwhp white diamond Cts-V that was the fastest V in the U.A.E. Sadly, I was driving under very bad conditions and lost control of the V and it got totaled beyond repair. Luckily, The engine, trans, and supercharger are completely fine ..... Guess what's going in the ZL1 soon .

Finally, In stead of buying another V and swapping the parts... I decided to start a new chapter and move to the Camaro platform. I don't know anything about the Camaros or the ZL1 platform and hoping to learn more. So I do apologize in advance for my stupid questions/threads. My goal for this is to keep it at a moderate 620-650rwhp for daily use.

Thank you in advance and here are some pictures of my new and old cars.

Kareem-

Victory red 2013 ZL1 "1 out of 3 imported to the U.A.E "


My late 2012 cts-v 728rwhp :(.



Day of the accident


The most beast sounding looking car I have ever owned. A 11.6:1 CR 426 blown hemi engine putting down 600rwhp to the ground






Thank you for reading and hope to learn more about this beast of a car soon!

Kareem-

I exchanged from the CTS-V to the ZL1, The Camaro is not as plush but it is a better driving machine. Welcome to the site and congrats on your purchase.

Ma man! Same color and everything! Hhaha. You have to admit.... The V sports mode is a bit more tighter or?? Maybe I didn't push the zl1 that far yet to test it in sports suspension mode.
