True hot rodders don't buy a brand new car. True hot rodders buy an old car and restore it. If money was no object then I can see your point but I'm guessing money is important to most people these days.

My point is if you want to mod a car I can't see why you would buy a ZL1.

Like the poster below said. It's about starting with a better platform

The ZL1 uses a similar, but smaller 1900 supercharger. So, now I know mine has more power and torque, but it also has all the goodies I would like on mine. ie.. Twin disc clutch, magnetic variable shocks, beefier drive shaft and axles and sway bars, bigger brakes, more rubber, 2 electric adjustable seats, electric power steering, lighter wheels, rearview camera, bluetooth iphone ipod, etc....

But!!!!Once you drive a car with 600 plus horsepower and torque you get hooked. It will change how you drive and driving is what these cars are made for.

Warranty? I really don't need no stinkin warranty. I drive spirited but do not flog the dog. I still have the original rubber with over 18,000 miles with still plenty of tread. I have respect for what I have.

If you have a dealer that wants your repeat business and you are a good loyal customer (like me) if there is a problem with say the airconditioner, and he knows I have a maggie, he does not say "Sorry you voided your warranty" He fixes whatever and he knows I will be back to purchase another vehicle or two in the future.
He is smart, as most other dealers should be if they want to keep cash paying customers, like me, happy.

I put on my own maggie, hurst shifter, american racing headers, noweeds, and change all my own oils. I am a health professional, not a "Mechanic" but I do turn a wrench every chance I get because.... The pride of doing it yourself, IS, priceless.

If possible I will put on another TVS2300 or something similar. I may start with changing the pulley sizes, headers, cold air intake, cutouts, etc. I would like to lower it but like was said above, that will mess with the magnetic ride system. Time will tell. But the possibilities are endless.

This is just a better platform to begin with.

Don't we all agree? Thanks
