The shifter paddles look a little funny in their size compared to the steering wheel. I think I`ll just keep my Z-28.
They come close to my Camaro, but they just can`t get close to the refinement and style of my Chevy.
If they offered a nice rebate and 0% financing for 60 months I might think about it. Maybe if the dealer throws in paint sealant and fabric protect-ant.
Thats a Mega-millions dream!!!

What was with his shifting in the tunnels? I understand that he was trying to get her to rip past the film vehicle, but, sounded like he had a problem. Don't know how there could have been a problem while using paddle (gay) shifters, but, sounded like there was. Love the car, hate the paddles.
Thanks for the video.

I usually lean more towards Lambos, but GODDAMN that V12 screams! If I had the money, I'd be on a flight to Maranellp heartbeat.
I think he was just downshifting and it was damn near redline in that gear.

^Attempting to piece together some sort of relevance to those two random posts, I can only sum up that you are stating a Ferrari get's you fine *** nordic women while what you get in american muscle more resembles a man.
On that count, you and your admittedly awesome formula must be ***** deep in the Abercrombie and Fitch catalog.

Who cares about paddle shifters? Some people love em, some people hate em. Bottom line is, they can change gears more than a little faster than your arm can. Ferrari is about squeezing performance out of a car...at least thats the intended purpose for this car. Paddles = lightning shifts.
Anyway...that guy in the video is a bit of a choad haha. Ide rather see Top Gear or Fifth Gear test the car and beat on it.

That statement is redundant (made far too often). A manual shift lever is the chick in the first pic & the paddle shifters are the 3 pole smokers in the second pic.

What was redundent about the quote you posted?
So someone that likes technology and wants paddle shifts is automatically a "pole smoker"?
Not trying to start an e-argument, but I just dont get the hostility towards a piece of automotive hardware. So much so that you would make a comparison between paddle shifters and "pole smokers"...

Looks like the ZR1 got beat (power wise)..

ummmm in relation to the paddle shift bashing...although it may not be for you show me 1 car that is a fully manual transmission that can shift faster than a simialr car with the good i.e. f1 style paddle shifters. lets take a look all the top manufacters (and corvettes dont count) use those paddles for a reason. no clutch no lag and isntant and jsut a fingers grab away
