Guys,

I'm on a 4-10wk plan to get a ZL1 in the 33-38k price range. I have seen from stock with warranty up to 130mph trapping cars in this range. My intent with the car:
1. Year-round daily driver in Florida. It will essentially be my mini-van that will haul a 3 and 6yo around with all the family endeavors in between. Monthly cross state road trips are likely.
2. At this stage, reliability and maintenance free are a slightly higher priority than a few extra whp.
3. I've daily driven a 115mph trapper and always wanted a few more hp.

How are you guys daily driving these cars? Are you mostly stock? Basic bolt-ons and still reliable? What about a nice cam in this car? Curious to see how many miles on each configuration and the goods and bads that came with it.

Does first gear dead hook from the factory? If not, at what power level does first become unusable with a street worthy tire?

Anyone hit 100k miles on one of these yet?

Also, do any of you engineers have a consumables type spreadsheet that shows your TCO over time?

Thanks for the help!
