Someone may have started a similar thread before but I can’t find it and there are so many new members so here goes.

What was your car list that led to you getting a ZL1? Even if it wasn’t a ZL1 (ex: GT500, Boss, etc etc) but the ZL1 was on your list, what led you to the other vehicle over a ZL1. Here’s my list.
5. Camaro SS: Could accomplish ZL1 performance with modding but never could get past the fact that I felt I would always be saying “I should have” every time I would see a ZL1. Awesome car otherwise.
4. CTS-V: Wasn’t the best looking of my top choices but definitely had the best interior. The ride was comfortable but I felt I could get the same and more from the ZL1 for less.
3. Corvette Grand Sport: IMO the best looking car of the bunch but every “new” GS I looked at was 70K+ and if I’m going to pay that much I might as well get a Z06 and call it a day. Other than that this car may have been my #1 but from what I researched it wasn’t worth the extra money and it wasn’t leaps and bounds over the ZL1 performance wise.
2 13’ GT500: Man it was hard to turn away from this car. Finally got a chance to ride in one and it isn’t as plush as a ZL1 but isn’t as harsh as I thought it would be. You definitely feel the power and it’s more aggressive than any car on this list. The interior is better than the ZL1 IMO but I’ve never been a fan of the mustang looks exterior wise. It all came down to the fact that I liked to exterior of the ZL1 better and I knew I was going to mod it so the hp disadvantage wasn’t an issue.

Camaro ZL1: After seeing this car in person and hearing it I was sold. Rides as smooth as the CTS-V but sounds better and looks better. Loved the little touches like the exposed CF insert and the suede interior. So glad I went with the Z and looking forward to many good times in it.
