While I haven't had much seat time in mine yet, I love just about everything about the car. I've yet to sit in the absolute 'perfect' car and I've sat in and driven nearly everyone of today's modern model American muscle cars except the C7Z (sat in but did not get to drive), including:

The Hellcat Challenger
SRT 392 Challenger
Scat Pack Challenger 8 speed auto and 6-speed manual
Gen V Dodge Viper (2014 model)
Mustang 5.0 2015
2014 Shelby GT 500
1LE Camaro and standard SS Version
2015 Z/28
C7 Corvette with 8 speed auto and 7 sped manual
ZL1 Camaro

Out of all of them, for me, the ZL1 won hands down. The bang for your buck, exterior design, comfort, power, interior, and the ever elusive 'Gotta Have It!' Factor, especially at 20% off, is without peer!

From the slowest to the fastest, from the cheapest to the most expensive, from the lowest to the highest horsepower rating - NONE are perfect in the strictest sense.

There will always be something about the ones you didn't buy that might have 'something' you like a little better than the one you did. Whether it is mpg, blown versus naturally aspirated, headroom, shoulder room, legroom, 2 seats or four, pounds of weight per horsepower, Hp per dollar, trunk opening size, rear visibility, dealer support, steering wheel size, footwell lighting, push button or key start ignition, etc, etc, etc,... Well, you get the point.

But to live in times like these, where we have all these great choices (yes, ALL of today's cars are an outstanding choice), are extraordinary times indeed.

I will say this - remember the "choices" we had back in the '70's and early '80's? Did you ever dare dream we would have a class of modern muscle cars like we have today that the LOWEST horsepower is an incredible 400 and would run a minimum of high 12's in the quarter??

So while we may differ on what is a con for our ZL1, we still own one of the best of the best modern muscle cars ever made!
