Dragoneye, find a different dealer! This past April my shooting partner and I went to the dealership that has my ZL1 deposit to talk to the sales manager and to keep tabs with him. He said that he, like I was just waiting for GM/Chevy to start the ordering process. We discussed the possible HP numbers for the ZL1 and I told him I was guessing 585HP. He said that he had a SLP ZL585 which should be pretty close to what the ZL1 should be like and asked if I wanted to drive it? Like I was going to say NO!! He brought the car around and gave me the keys. He asked if remembered how to get back to the dealership and walked back inside. My partner and I got inside drove around to warm it up and found a long straightaway. I ran it to 120 and backed off. Unfortunately I did not tell my partner what I was going to do, so he was not entirely ready for the ride. But he was cool about it after he caught his breath. The car ran very well! We drove back to the dealer and I turned over the keys. He just asked if I liked it and smiled. I told him that it was OK. He then went back into his salesman clothes and said he could give a good deal on it if I did not want to wait for the ZL1. I told him that I would wait and that I would keep in touch. That is the way all dealers should be.
