Thanks for reiterating for the upteenth time that the ZL1 seems to be better suited to a road course than a drag strip instead of contributing to the topic presented.: BTW, I actually do and enjoy both forms of racing. I, however, am not going to suggest that folks who partake of drag racing are somehow less of a competitor than folks that road race. Last edited by tooslow; 11-21-2011 at 11:18 AM. |

However, to acheive a great Nurburgring time, a vehicle must be able to efficiently gets its power to the road. Quote:
However, if drag racing is one's thing, I suggest that one would do better to purchase a new COPO Camaro, which is designed from the factory specifically for drag racing, rather than to purchase a ZL1, since the ZL1 has a lot of technology, and, therefore, associated cost that is not related to, or optimized for, drag racing. Who was comparing the level being of a competitor of those who drag race with those who road race? Is it "better" to be more or less of a competitor?

First time poster! Have been reading all the great information here. You guys are a wealth of information, thanks!
Just wanted to add that I am/was interested in a ZL1. As a previous camaro owner, current Vette owner this car had a lot of appeal to me. So I called my local dealer whom I have purchased 3 cars from already. Lets just say I will never ever buy another one from Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale, AZ. They stated they are getting 5 ZL1's and are pricing them at.... Are you ready...... Sit down..... $20,0000 OVER MSRP! Wow is all I can say, nothing like raping your customers. |

So everyone would have you to believe, but not necessarily the case. There are some but hardly "tons". As we get closer to actual production, I figure even fewer will be offered at MSRP. Just my opinion based on what has occurred with other niche cars over the past few years. One thing GM has going for it, however, the levels of disposable income people have these days is much less than what it was when the SRT's and GT500's first hit showrooms. Guess that's one advantage to being late to the game.

I don't think I indicated that it was. I just was asking who was comparing the competitive levels of drag racers and road racers.

WOW, find another dealer, there are quite possibly several out there that will respect MSRP and honor that price without marking up $20k. I only know this because there are TONS of members on this forum that have stated as fact that they have placed their order at MSRP...Good luck, hope you find one in your area! |

Considering Jeep is asking $64k + tax for there SRT8 and $55k + tax for there 300 SRT8 this ZL1 at MSRP may be the deal of a lifetime!
BTW Jeep has lost there fu*king minds $64k for a Jeep get a grip. Dont get me started on Chrysler, damn company is begging to fail again. Now the quest begins to find a dealer in the north east to get a ZL1 at MSRP or invoice. I may have to do what ive done with most of my other vehicles, buy them from the mid west seems there are more respectable dealers there. |
