I love my fiat rubicon, but recalled for trans lines {fire hazard}, power steering line{fire hazard} and now power mirror wireing {Fire hazard} it gets old. Oh it also had warantey cyl head replacement.

How do you like your ZL1?

Greedy mofos! I can't stand dealers

The fact that they have 9000 sales/orders is crazy. That is as much as the 1st 2 years of the ZL1.

I just don't get the hate. They made a great car. Good for Dodge. It will just make the next ZL1 or GT500 that much better.

+1 this seem like the right-minded way to look at it. Probably because it has some actual facts in it.

If you were shopping for a new appliance would pick one near the bottom of the reliability list?

96MrBass · 03-17-2015, 08:40 PM

If they like the way it looks and has power yup. To heck with the bottom of the list.

WOLFHOUND · 03-17-2015, 08:55 PM

I love the ZL1, I need to drive it more. When the rain stops I'll get out and put a grin on my face!

Sven59 · 03-17-2015, 08:57 PM

Over the years I have found that quality in the long run is the best way to go. But that's just narrow minded of me, like owning 7 cars and 6 different brands, that is also very narrow minded of me(emphasizing my narrow mindedness). I think the ZL1 has shown it's quality and reliability. Reading the forums here and how guys have modified them and I am sure some abuse it. But where are all the stories of breakage etc. Very few, even the highly modified ones have held up. That is quality and that is why I chose this car. I don't see it as hate either, everyone who has a favorite sports team they have their rival they joke about and cut down and claim they have skinny knees. I slam on them all the time but I also respect their quality players. I like the Gt350, but not enough to buy one. The fat cat goes in a straight line fast (so does the COPO), they could have made the ZL1 faster in a straight line but 12 seconds is pretty respectable. But that same car will take you on a twisty road drive like you have never experienced with a trunk full of luggage headed for a weekend getaway and can make a world class time on the ring. What does the portly feline offer me, skinny tires, a company with a very poor reliability rating and gas spraying the engine compartment!

Depend on what was offered.
Reliability does not necessitate the best.
At least not to me.

shinzon · 03-17-2015, 10:18 PM

usually the guy with the most money wins....

I don't see that changing anytime soon

$$$$ wins bitches always has always will

I love my ZL1 , yeh it's slower than a hellcat, gt500 next gen gt500... but oh well, it's what I like.. furthermore lets see you get 6k off a hellcat and 0 percent for 72months.... I'm winning anyways

sheeeet I'm lucky I can afford this awesome ride...no way I'm looking at anything else

BRcar · 03-17-2015, 10:21 PM

The first muscle car i ever rode in was a 69 mach one, brand new. Thats when the love started for me, but i have never owned or want to own a mustang. Chevy for me all the way, even after the years(mid 70s & 80s) of poor quality pos cars they produced. Im convinced the higher the sale # go the lower the quality. That being said, the hell cat is one heck of a car, and i can't hardly wait to see what the auto industry comes up with next !
