ZL1 ....Daily Driver?
Just spoke to my buddy who is lucky enough to own a 2011 ZR1....He told me that that ZR1 is not a great daily driver car and he doesn't expect the ZL1 to be either....He instead drives his 911 s as a daily driver....
Just curious what people are planning w the ZL1... For me .... 09 Escalade for cold months/kids/shitty weather 12 ZL1 for all warm days as a daily driver... Will |

i don't see any reason why it could not be a daily driver.

 This is my feeling as well. As long as the weather permits and you feel comfortable driving it, go for it!!!

Quit being a pu$$y
|
If you keep it in the garage all it's life all you are doing is keeping it in pristine shape for the next guy who owns it. It's a car, drive the damn thing.
If you are worried about "really, really expensive summer only tires" you shouldn't be buying a $60k sports car.

I agree that cars are made to be driven, but "daily driver" means just that.
"Daily" being rain, sleet, snow or sun....summer and winter. I doubt many will actually be "daily drivers". |

It will basically daily drive the same as any 5th gen camaro except it will be a lot more fun! Maintenance will be higher (tires, oil changes, etc.), but other than that I don't see any issues. MRS was developed for this reason. Drive it to work M-F, to the track on the weekends & enjoy!

If I get one it will be my daily. it does hurt the resale a bit on these special edition cars but I am hoping to pay cash so I don't care as much about resale as if I was finacing it.
