You haven't sat in a ZL1!

Trust me I've sat in several 5th gens as well as Corvettes. Yes they are two different cars. But the Corvette interior is old and needs an update. The ZL1 interior is something that I can only compare to the best that Cadillac has to offer
I've never stepped out of car with my hands shaking from the excitedness before the ZL1.

I have to agree with BOTH of you...both cars let you know immediately which you're sitting in. I'm not trying to be sarcastic. Each has it's own feel...and will call to people differently.

Now for the non-diplomatic response:

The ZL1 is....impressive to say the least...obviously, it's interior 90% like other Camaros...but the subtle changes set a whole new 'mood', imo...that car means business in a take-no-prisoners kinda way and you can't help but feel 'unworthy'.

I thought it was nice, BUT, after sitting in the Z06 vette, I fell in love. Sitting in that car, you KNOW your in something special. It just felt right to me

Here's my post from another thread about this lady at Chicago. I'm not really sure she really knows about everything she says, but she sure does a good job of acting like she does.

She said this with conviction like it was fact.

Hmmmm... the ZL1 at C5 fest without the stripe package sure doesn't look like it has a body colored hood insert.

I updated it I said pulse red but meant fire red. i wrote it down and took the paper out of my wallet.

Nice pics keep 'em coming. I won't make it until next saturday. Not for anything, aside from the vettes the excitement from the zl1's development, the power, options, and the numbers guessing is more than enough to keep me entertained. Z06s, despite their performance prowess, are a dime a dozen. The zl1 will definitely be marked by the dwindling clock so I'm not taking any chances on missing one (given enough time on my side and greenery in my wallet lol!!)!

Give me the ZL1 in Green and I'll never ask for another car as long as I live lol

Same pics we have seen 10 times over. How about something different and put a price out there?

[windycityRS]

Each time I see the ZL1 the more I want one!!! Too bad I wont be able to afford it! Cant wait to see one on the street though...Beautiful car!!

Because the cars are ordered three months in advance.

There are two ZL1 show cars - the one from Chicago (also Dallas/NY) with Silver wheels - and we just finished the second one in time for Camaro5Fest.

[Weezerj]

What next for these cars? Are these just for shows?

Damn skippy. As soon as I sat in the CTS-V with the suede interior, I knew that there was no question that I was ordering it with the ZL1.

I can't wait to own that car. I was kind of forced to put off getting the 2010 due to a deployment, and now, pappa's coming home and getting a 2012 ZL1..and i hope it comes in blue!
