I'd love to drive it on nice days, but the powers at be...the ones who paid for the car...say that they want to keep as low of mileage on the vehicle so that they can ask a higher price upon sale. If it were me the car would be on the road 3 days of the week, or maybe more, but then again it isn't so I will have to build my own car inorder to have a daily driver f-body. The difference in this car and a porsche, is that in 20 years this car will still be worth the same if not more money where that porsche won't be worth a thing, unless it is an extremely rare one which you won't be able to touch for 100$ Besides the fact I have driven fast porsches before, and they don't measure up to how awesome the Z is.

z06 clutch (same as whats in 2001-2002 fbods and breaks all the time)
4.10 gears in a 10bolt gm.
can your say broken 100k car the first time you hit the gas.....
can you say never knowing what traction is....



for 100k you can build a daily driver 9 sec 4th gen that will hold up to anything you throw at it...

100k..... crack smoken

Maybe I will take a run down to BG to see if im lucky enough too line up next to one. But knowning the the people that run the event. They wont allow no one to blow the doors off these cars.
But if you really want to see a Special GM car. Quarter Mile Performance are doing 3 35th Annv. SS for GM / NickeyChevrolet Camaros. They are to be 427R blocks w/ Twin turbos! Saw the first one at QMP about 2 weeks ago . Amazing!!! The turbos on kit are good too 1200hp. Keep ur eyes open for these cars!!

Here are some pics of our ZL-1 from the car show we took it to in Rome GA.
Enjoy.



My buddy David ( YellowHammer) has one as well, maybe he will chime in here and post some pics of his.

By the way I am sorry my car is stupid, but atleast GMMG will fix it if I have any problems....and it will be worth the same ammount if not more than when we bought it.

100K+ is crazy! Still it is such a beautiful car. If I were rich, I would buy it and drive it every day!

If I had a 100k+ Camaro, I would take the H1 Hummer if it was snowing.

No you would drive a ford of some sort that way if something broke you wouldn't feel so bad, or you would walk because you were car poor.

ZL1's are totally badass- props for a nice car to anybody who has one. I'd rather have the ZL1 Phase 3 than any other car for less than 100K. Only 69 made- that is a damn exclusive Camaro.

ZL1's are truly bad *** cars, but for that sort of money I'd probably opt for a C6 instead (mmmm.... LS2....)
