I haven't grinned this much since I bought my 03 Cobra (supercharger torque) only this car is better looking (IMO), more comfortable, easier to drive, better handling, and faster.

I have owned more sports cars than I'm willing to admit but here is the short list:
- 2012 SS M6
- 2011 Mustang GT C/S (wife's car and still own)
- 2010 Corvette Convertible A6
- 2007 BMW 335i
- 2003 Z06
- 2003 Cobra
- 1994 Cobra (Vortech Supercharged)
- 1972 Buick GS
- ...

Part of the reason I've owned so many cars is that I have been looking for the perfect car. I almost bought an 06 GTO because I love the seats and they are a blast to drive but I couldn't get past the average/plain looks.

The Z06 is great at the track but sucks for road trips; which is why I didn't buy a C6 Z06. The BMW is fun, good looking, and comfortable too but to HPFP/Injector/etc. issues are frustrating.

I know the Shelby is faster, and the new Corvette is probably a better "all around" sports car, but I'm happy, because I finally found MY dream car.

I concur. I too have bought a lot of performance cars over the last 10 years and find the ZL1 to be the most complete. That said, my Mustang GT Premium Coupe was by far the best bang for the buck. I still miss that car. My next ride will be some form of the C7, either the Z51 or Z06. My daughter will be old enough by then.

2013 ZL1 M6
2012 Mustang GT 5.0 Premium Coupe M6
2008 E90 M3 (Sedan) M6
2006 E46 M3 M6
2004 Nissan 350Z Auto
2002 Nissan Maxima Stillen Supercharger Auto
1995 Pontiac Firehawk #615

M3s were great, but I'm not a fan of high revving engines. I like low-end TORQUE!!
