I have to add to my earlier post, this is f..ing awesome, the coolest thing might be the g-force indicator in the heads up display, cool as hell. This baby sticks to the ground and is as fast as anything out there. The ride is comfortable in all modes, you boys (and girls) are gonna love it.

I just got mine today in Cleveland. It's number 220 and it's just amazing!

It's the best sports car I ever drove so far, and the list includes Porsche 911, Porsche Cayman R; Mercedes C63 AMG coupe, M3 coupe, CTS-V coupe.

The steering is light and fluent, the manual transmission is butter and very short, the suspension is firm but not rough, the brakes are strong, the engine and torque are overwhelming (so I moved the setting from 2 to wet) the sound is astounding and the looks is better than in the pictures. I only drove it 40 miles today and sorry, it didn't get a wash yet. I already forgot the 5 months wait time and I have a big smile on my face and in my heart. It's an amazing car and it was worth the wait. Thanks GM for building the best (affordable) sports car yet!!!

Enjoy the pictures. I'm going back to lay my bed in the garage (after my dear wife falls asleep)

Exxxxcelent!

This car is, I think, literally impossible to not fall in love with.

AMAZING is right!!!

Advice:
Please be careful when the tires are cold: they have little to no grip.

I still love it and I'm just amazed how perfect everything is. Usually you get something bad in a car: steering, brakes, engine, suspension...etc. The ZL1 has everything right - unbelievable.

I got a 0.99g today, with warmer tires. It's just so cold in Cleveland these days...

I took two colleagues for a ride and one needed to go pee as soon as we got back. That's all I can say. I checked the seat - It wasn't wet.

Me too. That is fricking awesome. Cool cars are a dime a dozen by comparison.
