I still love the ZL1s, but I can't see myself ever dropping the money on one just because to me, it isn't worth it. Just because you thought it was, and decided to pull the trigger, doesn't mean the OP is rationalizing, or jealous, or whatever other bs you want to throw out there to make yourself feel better about your car. Opinions are like ass holes folks. Everybody has one, and they all stink. Get over yourselves.

Do like I do and just ignore the crazys. It made me laugh at the people saying I was lying and I didn't test drive a ZL1.

Make sure that your oil temp is up to normal temp and that you turn off the traction nannies/stabilitrac before testing one out next time.
The car is programmed to reduce power in the lower settings of PTM and if your steering angle increases if you have it in normal mode for your safety. I did not know this until I read the owners manual a little closer, after trying to get on it a little bit and having the car bogg down a me on launch early on, now I typically drive in PTM 3 unless the wife is aboard or the roads are rough then it's PTM 2 for touring mode for a smoother ride.
It makes for a whole different experience in these cars along with the proper gasoline octane installed.

You may be on to something here I held the traction control button for 10 seconds like my ss so default was probably set to 1. That could have been the problem right there. I wasn't familiar with how the ZL1 controls worked. Guess I will have to test drive it again. I should have watched the youtube video on how it works before I tested it.
