ZL1 BEST DEAL FOR THE MONEY

Just finished reading the Feb 2013 Car and Driver article (cover story) "The Masters of Speed". Virginia International Raceway Grand West Course 4.1 Miles. Overall Results: 1st Place the Ferrari 458 Italia 2:49.9, Second Place Lexus LFA 2:55.1 and THIRD PLACE CAMARO ZL1 2:57.5. The Ferrari cost $333,376 and the Lexus $379,575. The ZL1 Price as Tested $58,445.

One Lexus = 7 ZL1's or one Ferrari = 6 ZL1's. Or you could buy one Ford Shelby GT500 and Pay as Tested: $63,080. Oh and come in SIXTH PLACE.

The ZL1 has been proven over and over to be a spectacular machine. Dollar for dollar you CAN NOT get more bang for your buck!

Though the 1LE comes close in terms of value/performance/dollar.

Either way - Camaros are in good company, and that's one of the reasons I love them so much!!

That doesn't show me how great of a deal it is as much as it show's me just how much it cost to go 2 to 8 seconds faster which is light years on a track of that size.

Believe me, I do feel that it is the best bang for the buck for most people though. That's one of the reason I got one.

Yeah I hear ya, but I should/could have included the other NINE cars that cost significantly more and were SLOWER! FIVE of which were a 100 plus. The next one up in dollar amount was the mustang $4,600 plus above the ZL1 and in sixth place.

Same magazine has a Face Off between the ZR1 and the Viper. Haven't read it yet, but I did peek at the results. Chevy wins again! And the as tested prices the ZR1 is much less than the Viper. $125,920 vs $140,990. Looking forward to reading this article.
