tommie vaughn, got a freind that works as a tech there. however that still wasnt good enough for them to come off their premium. the car i drove was a stripe delete black 13 gt500 with about 50 miles on it.

You were not the only one dropping coin this weekend. I went down to Houston and came back with a new addition to the stable. Unlike the others, this one has no back seat.

Joe, forgot to post this in the reply in my thread, but the deal is a trade: You get a ride in the ZR1 and I get to ride in your ZL1.

Let me quickly trade these Pilot Sports out back for some real rubber or I might get my feelings hurt.

I am surprised the GT500 was a disappointment. They look really good but they are more common than what you ended up with. ZL1 seems much more limited- maybe just because it has only been out a year. I love the hood

the zl1 is just a much more easier & comfortable car to drive everyday. no comparison how it rides and handles vs my ss.

Congrats on the ZL1! Amazing car from what I hear. You must be the first person I have heard of that has an SS and ZL1 at the same time so my question is how do you compare the two? What are the pros & cons for each model? Is the price difference worth it or could a modded SS overcome a ZL1 for much less money?

Thanks,
stock for stock a ss wouldnt have even been a consideration if the zl1 was around when i bought my ss. the ride, power and handling are all on levels that you would have to drop a good amount of coin into a ss to even come close. as for building a ss to outpower a zl1, it comes down to how far you want to go with it. as for mine i havent had anytime to get it out and really drive it.
