Time to move on...
Hello all. I have truly enjoyed my time in the ZL1. It has been one of the most enjoyable cars I have owned to date. I haven't posted a ton, but I read the forum everyday, and I really love it here.

I don't think I'll ever get enough of the v6 vs v8 vs auto vs manual vs daily driver vs weekend cruiser debates. The ZL1 replacement only offers one engine and one transmission, so the new forum may not be as lively.

One last photo of the Camaro.



And here is the replacement.



If anyone is looking for a low mileage, well maintained, stock ZL1 in WA, then go check out Larson Dodge.

The new ZL1 replacement only offers one engine and one transmission? Are you talking about the Z/28? Please explain

Bad choice....

The Stingray would have been a better upgrade.

The viper, while nice and looks cool is a terrible daily driver.

The C7 Z06 will be comparable to (and likely trump) the Viper. I had a C6 Z06 several years ago, and I may get back into a Corvette in the future.

My ZL1 wasn't my daily driver, and neither will this one. I have an SRT8 Grand Cherokee for daily duties.

It was time for something different. I change cars fairly frequently, and the Viper has been on my list of cars that I'd like to try.

Good choice

Love the hardtop clown shoe. I'd trade my Z for one without a second thought.
