Well, the SS didn't get the 7-speed the vette has because according to sources at GM "it didn't fit".

"Acceleration for the ZL1 is delivered with a new supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine estimated at 640 hp (477 kW), and either a six-speed manual transmission with active rev matching or an all-new 10-speed automatic."

This! Seriously man...I've been doing all of this too, although you bring up a good thought--Nurburgring training. I don't have much patience playing Forza 6 (in my LT4 powered C7 Zo6) on Xbox...I should just google earth train like you've done

But yeah, waiting started like last year!

Bugs me a little that they put the vertical driving lights on the ZL1( Like the Lt), but the SS has the horizontal ones. I know it's kind of petty but I like them better.

You guys need to install a tab auto-reloader. You can configure the timer on it and it'll just reload for you all on its own.

Save the F5

According to the chat line the car will be available by the fall. Of course they use Magic 8 Ball so that could be wrong. Magic 8 Ball, will I have the car before there's snow on the ground? Hmmm, it's possible! Lol

I was very satisfied with my SS but when I saw this baby in action I simply fell in love and the wait for me begins at this moment for I will have to wait till the end of next year to acquire one

Shit sounds and looks sexy! The hardest decision will be getting the M6 or the A10.

Is that Hyper Blue? Looks like a very dulled-down version if so. Couldn't be "Arctic Blue Metallic" could it?

0% chance that's Arctic Blue.

HBM will look dull like that when it's cloudy out.. Almost takes on the Admiral Blue on C7. Or if it's inside






Here's a freeze frame while it's getting some direct light and you can see it get lighter.

:(

175 viewing right now...what's up? journalists looking for a scoop? 180 and counting.
Nope, just the trolls over at the OTHER forum. They'll now go back and report their findings. I can hear it now. Tires were squealing. There was orange peel on the Red car. It's obviously the golden ratio on the blue car is not......the golden ratio. Blah blah blah.

That Zl1 is sick. Man, they keep rolling out the hipo cars every year and it's killing my savings.
