Over the years I have found that quality in the long run is the best way to go. But that's just narrow minded of me, like owning 7 cars and 6 different brands, that is also very narrow minded of me(emphasizing my narrow mindedness). I think the ZL1 has shown it's quality and reliability. Reading the forums here and how guys have modified them and I am sure some abuse it. But where are all the stories of breakage etc. Very few, even the highly modified ones have held up. That is quality and that is why I chose this car. I don't see it as hate either, everyone who has a favorite sports team they have their rival they joke about and cut down and claim they have skinny knees. I slam on them all the time but I also respect their quality players. I like the Gt350, but not enough to buy one. The fat cat goes in a straight line fast (so does the COPO), they could have made the ZL1 faster in a straight line but 12 seconds is pretty respectable. But that same car will take you on a twisty road drive like you have never experienced with a trunk full of luggage headed for a weekend getaway and can make a world class time on the ring. What does the portly feline offer me, skinny tires, a company with a very poor reliability rating and gas spraying the engine compartment!
