Which dealer is this that I should avoid? j/k But seriously - what dealer?

I really dont think ANY other competitor on the market is going to be able to match this new ZL1 pound for pound even if it is lighter because they simply dont have what it takes to match both GM's performance & technology capabilities. All I can say is I want one and if I dont get one this year then I at least would like for Scott Settlemire or one of the new owners to give me a ride in one at Camaro Fest 3 next August because I cant wait to see this beast in action!

I, too, have been trying to say about the same thing you have. I knew as soon as I saw it on the stage that February morning

It's clear from the videos that the ZL1 has been developed to be a complete factory race ready high performance vehicle.

Will there be vehicles out there that will have higher performance? Sure. However, I'll be willing to bet that it will difficult to obtain one that performs as well as the ZL1 for a price that is less or equal to the ZL1's price.
It won't, but I'm sure when the embargo lifts, and when these start leaving black "11"s on the drag strip and terrorizing the streets across our beautiful country. That '13 could have 620 horse' but they better do something about using those phillies. Ford spent most of that car's budget under the hood, which is fine if you don't mind going straight all the time, but I think ZL1 (and CAMARO across the line) is more of a Ponycar than the 'stang is now. I'm so excited to see GM reveil the whole package. They're certainly showing they aren't affraid to take the car to the strip and kick up some VHT and rubber!

I completely agree with your last statement, too. I think it'll be a while before that's possible. It's easy to make a racecar, but it's another thing to make it enjoyable to drive every day, in all weather, in compete comfort.

I really hope we start seeing some TV ads. The internet is great, but the more I see CAMARO and ZL1, I think it's for the better for Chevrolet and ZL1.
