Took ownership of #455 CRT, manual, Sunroof, and Black ten spoke wheels Saturday 14 April 2012, the car was sitting in the show room for all to see. The first thing I noticed was the way the car stood, low and aggressive. I immediately check for the front spring spacers, and they were still installed, also checked for front bumper outer valance panels and they were not installed. The first time starting the beast up and hearing that rumble was a moment in time that can never be repeated. The customary drive to fill the tank up with gas I noticed how stiff the clutch was, it’s been a while since driving a manual and the first time driving something with this kind of power. I was absolutely amazed. I even stalled out several times because of the stiff clutch and engaging so close to the floor. It could be me but I noticed a little clank when engaging the clutch and shifting gears but only at low speeds and when it’s quiet. This car is turning heads and I noticed that by driving a ZL1 you kinda become a spokesman for Chevrolet. Pulled up on a Vert Camaro and gave a little rev but not to exceed the 4k break-in and he rev’d back and before long we were revving back and forth at a red light while everyone else looked on. Also had several GT500 turn heads and I’m not sure if it was in fear or admiration (probable both). Bottom line is I’m HAPPY, I don’t care for all the back and forth about ¼ mile times and 580hp vs. 650hp, I’m a true Camaro fan and as such a fan I promise to learn to fully benefit from all the ZL1 has to offer so I don’t shame other TRUE Camaro fans.

Normally I hate to see long post.
