    The ZL1 will go down as one of the best modern "muscle" cars ever made. Such a badass looking car all around, and being a camaro, you can't beat it from a price to performance ratio. The camaro's will also become a highly valuable collector's car, more so than the others.

      it's true! It handles, fast in a straight line and doesn't break your pockets like the gt500 or hellcat. Plus you don't see them on the road often

      @dallasfrost1996 Год назад +9

      @@_Tra_B Exactly! Thank you, someone here that actually understands... lol. The ZL1 is a jack of all trades. It's as fast as a hellcat on the straights, and just as good as the GT500 on most tracks, better on some even. Plus its available with a manual, and easily is the best handling car of the bunch, due to it being built off the alpha platform. All for a very respectful price. You really can't beat it!

    Tired of Chevrolet pushing out more Automatic ZL1's versus the preferred 6-Speed Manual.
    We are not about to submit a custom order to Chevrolet for a ZL1 after knowing the logistical nightmares (and mark-ups) that run rampant. Especially if that order is unlikely to be fulfilled simply because we require a manual transmission and despise those atrocious red interior pieces.
    If I wanted something immature then I would consider the new Ford Mustang. As it stands, the only Mustang's I would consider nowadays rest between 1966-1970.
    In fact, the best analogy I have heard (so far) that summarizes the 2024 Mustang states: _"Give me a Driver's car, not a _*_Gamer's_*_ car."_ This is especially true when Ford formally touts the new Mustang interior as _"Disruptive"._ Which, by the way, is not something you should aspire too when designing an automotive interior but I digress.
    Furthermore (and getting back on topic), it's rather shocking to see the _significant_ price increase on the 2023 ZL1's over the 2022 model year. This runaway inflation is absolutely ridiculous.
    For that kind of money, I _could_ have a C8 if I so choose. However, not only do I need a V8 back in my life, but more importantly I *demand* a manual transmission. Sadly, the C8 Corvette cannot deliver on the latter. Those two main criteria are rigid and non-negotiable.
    Although, to be fair this is not merely a Chevrolet problem. My wife has been seeing this same issue with the Scat Pack Widebody's too. More automatics are being produced over the manuals. It's almost as if the manufacturers prefer you to drive an automatic simply because they cost more to repair/maintain.
    After all, the Sales Dept in a dealership is *_not_* the primary money-maker. That weight rests mainly on the Service (and to a lesser extent the Parts) Department. But that's an entirely different topic all together.
    Nonetheless, we *will* be adding a ZL1 to our garage. When that happens has yet to be determined.
    Stay classy my friend.
