Actually I did drive a GT500 before my purchase. Like others have said, it has power, bigtime. But it just doesnt match against the ZL1 when all factors are considered. Last but not least was the price which would have been close to 10G's more than what I eventually paid for my car.
It's great that you have more power... but that to me is the only significant advantage the GT500 can claim.
Comfort, handling, interior, cost, road noise, warranty, all break toward the ZL1. And if I need more power, that can be done to my Z easily.
My 2 cents
Edit: One other thing. Comparing a 60K plus car to a 30K rental that has been driven how many abused miles... really? |
I should have stated that the impala only had about 3000 miles, its not like someone mud-bogged the thing...
My car was not 60K plus, I got a base car, with glass roof, -2k pff MSRP, $56K..
I see your comment about warranty, I'm curious about what extra warranty does the ZL1 have that the GT500 does not?
I bought a fast car to have a fast car, If I want comfort/quiet/ride, there are better choices for that beyond either the GT500 or ZL1...
Its great to have choices!
