It is absolutely a beautiful Camaro in ANY color and it is a bargain at that price.

A lot of people have more than the MSRP of the ZL1 in a modded SS and we do not have the features that the ZL1 offers.

I cannot wait to start seeing these hit the streets. Stunning car for the money.

People seem to get more passionate about complaints. Its a cool car though and people know that it is.. even if there is whining involved.

You can't deny it will be cool.. even if there aren't any in private hands yet, we've all seen the performance and the goodies. Its just a matter of waiting now.....

Oh, and there is a difference between being passionate about a car, and being negative. If the argument has merit at all to reasonable minds, it is passion or a legitimate concern. If the main reason for the complaint is to be negative and shoot down a poster its negative.

Nothing ever improves in life without critisism.

I was hoping to get a Corvette someday, but now I wonder if I would opt for a ZL1 instead. Thanks GM for making my decision difficult!

No doom and gloom here. I am excited. detailed up the Z06 to sell.

I think people still don't realize what 7:41 lap time means if you like a car that handles well not just a car that has high HP.

It will be fun enough to drive I won't have to go to another brands car forum and feel the need to stir anything up for sure to get my kicks. ha ha.

I will try to help simplifiy the decision. I you don't car about the back seat get the Grand sport. Lighter car, will get more looks, top pops off.

If you ever want an ounce of praticallity out of the car grab the Zl1.
