Well....the wife squashed us buying a ZL1...ended up with a family hauler.
Hi All,
Well, I tried. Its a sad day, I can no longer look forward to ordering an ashen gray ZL1. I was all psyched to get a ZL1 for the past few months and thought I was good to go when we saw a ZL1 a the New England Auto Show and she said....this is nice. But my wife dropped it on me and said no more two door cars...she hates getting in and out of the back of the 2002 Camaro when she has to be back there and wants to be able to be able to load a car up. So we compromised.............on a CTS-V wagon! Order # received and hopefully filled soon. So I'll always be with the ZL1s in spirit. Cant wait to get this badboy. Phantom gray, sunroof, wood interior, and graphite wheels...she didnt like the Recaros and I went with an auto but I'm surely not going to complain. Just as an aside, does anyone know what the ZL1 has upgraded to get the extra 30hp? |

I suppose a younger family and wife and kids etc. could dictate to me what to buy, I waited till the kids were gone, and the wife has no say..she buys her prius, I buy my ZL1! |

Good choice. When I saw the title I was scared that you got suckered into a minivan.

Nice! I like the CTS-V Wagon. Any pics?
Next year it'll be an even bigger monster! "The next-generation Cadillac CTS-V will utilize the supercharged 6.2 liter LT4 V8 which debuted in the 2015 Corvette Z06." Read more: http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/03/...#ixzz2viJtYcMG |

The ZL1 also has a more free flowing exhaust to the OP's question of where does the slight bump in HP come from
