I'd trade a local track to live on Oahu. I ordered the Boss the second I heard about it because I always loved the originals. When it first came I admit I was a bit put off by the barebones interior and it's seemingly raw approach to besting the Bimmer on the track. But after a bit, I got it. It's all about the thrill of driving. I simply enjoy the way it drives, the sound, the way it pulls... the whole immersive experience. IMHO the Boss is the very best old school muscle car, the pinnacle if you will. And the new ZL1 is the genesis of a new world of Muscle cars. I'll never sell the Boss. But I wouldn't mind a ZL1. And a GT500 while I'm at at.

Definitely will be tracking mine, don't understand why anyone would spend 60k for garage queen.
These cars were build to be driven and driven hard, get your money's worth.

I think perhaps you need to drive your Boss over to the parking lot full of ZL1's and do a burnout and some doughnuts outside the fence, then honk the horn and yell some Ford is better than Chevy statements at the prisoners.
Maybe they will get angry enough to bust out. But watch out if they do, there is a whole herd of them...

We could hope. I mean, here I am a Ford driver and I'm as frustrated and anxious as anyone on here to see the ZL1's in driver's hands. Speed it up, woulda GM!

Getting bored waiting. Any updates on the QC hold? I'm driving around now and dying to see a ZL1 on the streets.

I'll be tracking mine as much as possible. Auto cross, flat out days, whatever. The car was made to be used, and that's just what I plan on doing with it.

Rare in numbers sure, but high in profile I hope. Expect to see the 10 of you at cruise nights and track days. Don't disappoint me Chevy folk.
