I laugh a little when I see all these "I'm used to no creature comforts" remarks. I lived back in the real muscle car days and other than the tire-ripping fun, they can keep them. Sure, I've got a couple 60's/70's muscle cars in the stable along with a couple 4th gen Camaros, but todays cars are far and away more refined, and just as much or more power, and a means to plant that power (an important aspect that many manufacturers back in the day couldn't do on factory bias ply tires).

To me all my cars are special in that with each drive, each car puts me in a different "era" just about any time I can drive them. Even got a Cadillac when I want all creature comforts while driving. I am truly blessed with choices, car-wise.

The 2014 Z/28 is a special car made for a special purpose. It isn't intended as a d/d. If I had one, I wouldn't use it as one, either. But the ZL1? That is the street's best Camaro hands down. You have to make compromises for certain creature comforts/drivability and IMO, the ZL1 limits the compromises as best it can.

Affordability isn't my issue, but the purpose is. That's why I'm going to make a bit of compromise myself and get a convertible ZL1 M6, end of story. A Z/28 would be cool to drive, I'm sure, but I'm not big into tracking so it's not my cup of tea.

But the Z/28 is bad azz!!
