The ZL1 is going to floor a LOT of people, methinks.........
Shouldn't make them feel any less about their own cars. Not at all. But I imagine it will demand a level of respect it's not receiving from some people right now... |

This is why there is speculation that the price range not going to be a measly $50k. for the ZL1, especially, when you have to upgrade many of the engine components along with the other bolt on's when getting into the high power bands. But, I could be wrong as it's obvious there are many vendors, quality levels and costs on parts GM can choose from on the ZL1 platform. Case and point the trunion kit for the rockers (or straight out race rockers), and other engine accessories when doing a "good" CAM job and / or SC. Some, guys keep all stock accessories in the heads, and are either lucky that stuff doesn't break or some guys like me go all out and spend the extra $$$, and feel confident knowing I can be aggressive pushing the vehicle to it's "new" limits. It is quite expensive to have "top" notch equipment for high performance race type applications. In my case I don't mind spending top $$$ to know I'll have a much superior worry free product in the end. So, my 700+hp. application will perform very reliably and safely. Can't say the same for everybody else, as I'm not resonsible for thier vehicles. Surely, though it will be fun regardless if it's an SS (with all the latest and greatest mods on my way to 1000+hp., and no warranty ), or a brand new kick-ass ZL1. We will have lot's of fun, that's for sure. For sure the ZL1 will be a lot of fun, and quite powerfull. Anything over 500hp. is just insane to handle and will rock you back into your seat when you punch the accellerator that's for sure. Will be very intersting though to see the price-tag. I'm curious about that for sure.

Maybe the dealer mentioned 85 because he was including a "mark up". It will be the latest ride and some people will be paying a premium to have it. I remember, when the Camaro's first came out, some dealers had ridiculous mark ups.

You seem to be really sending the same message that the ZL1 is really going to surprise a lot of people, especially since the fest. Did a little birdie happen to tell you something? |

And Yes. It was the car equivalent of seeing Niagara Falls for the first time in your life...even though pictures of it are everywhere.... I pre-judge this car based on the confidence the team has for it whenever they discuss what's already known. If these people have confidence in what they're building (and you KNOW they've tested against the best to date), then that's good enough for me. With a wink and a smile, many of them say the same sorts of things I'm saying: "It's going to surprise a lot of people", etc...I'm really no more than a parrot in this respect. Make no mistake....all it takes is a read through the press release and a look at the car....everything that is different between it and an SS has been completely ENGINEERED to go FAST. There was no other goal...no compromises (other than cost). So...am I overzealous in thinking it'll blow the doors off its competitors and hardly break a sweat?....I don't think so.... |

That reminds me, any word on what kind of electronic launch control there may be, if any? .
