Period!!
Car is a 2013 Manual FULLY loaded. I believe it has every option and is easily the best driving, best shifting manual, and most enjoyable car I ever drove.

Here's some pictures.............(Taken with phone, not the best, sorry)

Great decision, my man. Great color. I think it may be my favorite color on the ZL1. Reminds me of the Candy Apple Red muscle cars from when I was a kid in New York in the late 70's/early 80's. I remember wishing I could have one and save it until I was older.

Good luck. This car really is sublime.

Sweet machine! Congrats and Enjoy the beast! Did you prefer the 13 over the 14?

Looks great, congrats on the new car. I tried to tell myself I wouldn't mod mine either, but it didn't work! I've done very little though and I'm quite satisfied with how it performs. Doesn't need much right off the showroom floor. was a sweet 1LE too.

Congrats!! Such an exciting time I'm sure! Where are you from in NY?!

[PsychoZL1]

You did it, I thought you would after reading your last thread about thinking about it. Glad you got a good deal! Congrats and welcome to the club!

just powercoad the alum black if you like black it will be way more durable the the OEM paint.

contrats on the car.

I love the way the 1le drives for what it is hands down but I realy like the overall package of the Zl1 looks wise and performance wise. it is hands down the best looking camaro since 1969 to me. looks are subjective though.

If this car had came with about 12psi boost it would have been pretty close to perfect for a factory car IMO.

It actually takes me longer than 2 minutes, more like 4 minutes. I have black wheels


Congratulations, the car looks good, even with the old man hot rodder rims on it.

Everyone looks down on the polished wheels but I love mine. They have an aggressive old school look to them.

Good luck! Your gonna love it and the color is great!

Way cool and great choice on the rims! Wish I could find a new 2013, think that was the best.

Sounds like I need to get me some Hawk Yellow brake pads.
Do they perform good in addition to low dust?

My 2004 STi stock pads were nasty dirty - I replaced them right away with Repco Metal Masters I believe.

Thx

Congrats on the ZL1 and very wise comments on it's performance results compared to modded cars.
