No not personal at all. The Shelby is a nice car. I added a tune, upper pulley and an air box and it was really quick. I then added about $3500 in suspension to make it handle. While it got better then the cement truck handling it had before, it now became a home jarring ride. At 52 that didn't work for me haha. So I started not enjoying the car as much on the weekends as I used to. My good friend and neighbor Jim who is 67 wanted a toy car as well. We went to drive the new mustang then the new SS Camaro. After riding in the 2SS with magnetic suspension and the dual mode exhaust I was hooked. Since I still wanted a supercharger the only obvious choice was a ZL1. I couldn't afford a new one so I searched for a super low mileage one owner pre-owned car. The 1,200 mile 6 speed I found 2 hours from home fit the bill nicely!! Jim and I drove out Saturday at 6am, got there by 7:50, had breakfast, then switched cars. The deal was made over the phone so I was literally out of there in under an our. The ride home on my new to me ZL1 was nothing short of amazing. It was easy to compare the level of refinement and ergonomics between the 2 cars. The Shelby was much more raw. The ZL1 is a refined fast is best as I can describe it. As sorry as I was to part with the Shelby, I knew I made the right choice.
