Who has the most miles on their ZL1 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

cal45 · 11-22-2013, 07:49 AM

I'm looking at purchasing a ZL1 and it will be my daily driver. Would like to hear from fellow owners that also use their ZL1 as a DD and who may have the most miles and counting. Just looking for some reinforcement that a ZL1 can handle DD duties.

Thanks

She's my DD.. 18, 890 miles and counting

A guy here from California has over 30K

Interesting question. But think of it another way. This car is built to put up with all that torque and has to stay cool in 110 degrees. Chevy says drive it to the track, abuse it, then drive it home, and you CAN! I use mine to drive to work in the summer. I have 10,000 miles, and it is a dream. To use as a DD, I would put 3M on the nose and something to protect the quarters in front of the rear wheels. Those tires are sticky and pick up sand and rocks. Otherwise go for it, you won't believe how nice this thing drives.

I've had mine 3 weeks and I'm at 3,000+km's or 2,400 miles and it is my DD and work vehicle. Good advice on the clear bra and get some decent mud guards and you are good to go. As a side note, if you can keep your foot out of it the mileage isn't bad and I'm getting better mileage out of my ZL than my Honda Ridgeline.

32000kms on mine & it gets parked for the winter for 5 months

13,000 on my 2013 ZL1 Vert that is a DD during the summer. In the winter I store it and drive my 08 Malibu.

This car is awesome with absolutley zero problems. You just have to remember to go easy when the temp drops below 50 F as there is very little traction on the stock Goodyears if you get a bit frisky.

29500 miles on my 2012 Z. only downside to daily driving is buying tires every year.

Now that you hear how great of a DD they are, I have a 2012 loaded with 1000 miles on it if interested. Just PM if interested.

screw who has the MOST miles on their Zs. I say who has the LEAST amount of miles on their Zs.

my DD 2013 has a whopping 2400 miles since delivery in March of this year.

yeah, that's what everyone tells me. I have always had the obsession with keeping my cars in brand new condition right up to the day that I trade them in. I know it's a waste because I really don't enjoy my cars like I should because I always want to keep them out of harsh weather as much as I can.

it rains almost every day here in the central FL area in the summertime so that puts the driving on my Z to a minimal.
