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?

May I add 1-2-3 more things the ZL1 also offers that I don't want and will not hear/experience in my Z/28:

The eventually gets old (to me) whine of a supercharger, the possibility of an infernal/internal clacking supercharger coupling (Service Manager: "Clacking? What clacking? I don't hear any clacking. That's normal."), and heat soak.
