You all know what that is. Most Capable Street/Strip/Track car ever produced with a Camaro name on it.

ZL1. "Period"

Now, Go buy one if you haven't already. You will receive all the "extras" the most "track capable" Camaro ever does not, and in many cases, if you happen to get mixed up with one, you will likely show it your taillights. In the world 98% of Camaro owners live in .. that is.
<sigh> . . . some people still don't get what this kind of track car is all about.

Most Capable Street = irrelevant

Most Capable Strip = minimal interest at best

What it doesn't have is a substantial part of its appeal. But like the Harley riders say, if this has to be explained to you, you aren't going to understand it anyway.

Yes, the ZL1 is your "right Camaro". And that's fine (coming from a Mustang owner, no less).


Zfatuated - More to topic, thanks for posting the HOD/Corvette partnership along with specific mention of NJMP, which is only a little over an hour's drive for me. Do you have even a rough idea what might constitute "if qualified" in the following excerpt? Is it as simple as making a favorable impression on an instructor during the first session?

As part of the sponsorship, Corvette Stingrays will be available for HOD participants to experience, and if qualified, drive on the track at HOD events
