True them things are bigger on the outside yet smaller than the C6 on the inside! I heard a few C7 owners has traded their C7 for the C6 that they traded in or someone else traded in because it was to small inside!

I've sat in a few C7's and agree it's cramped (even compared to the C6), but I would still love one. Though I do love the Camaro's spacious interior as do my passengers.

Actually have a deposit and order in on the HC but it will still be a few months before I see it and can pull out for a full refund at anytime...so I am still torn between those two as I do like my current 14 2SS.
$48k for a brand new ZL1 is a damn good deal. No way you can drive a Hellcat to figure out if that's what you want? Would suck to figure out you don't like it when the ZL1's are at such a good price right now.

Viper is great for the track. They suck on the street. The pedals are off to the left of center. You don't notice the suck on a road course though. A buddy of mine has a 650rwhp widebooty C5 vert and a modded Viper. His Viper is only used on the track. He hates street driving it.

True on all counts.

And while the sng fit was a small factor as wells ease of access and egress, it wasn't the reason I traded. Being able to buy the ZL1 for less than $48k was the primary reason because it is a wicked car and I've wanted one since they came out.

I have had several F-bodies over the years and they hold a near and dear place in my heart. My first brand new car was a '73 Z/28! My last one was a brand new 2000 Z/28!

My stock Gen IV Viper with its 600 HP was brutal, both in good ways and bad. The C7 is refined, does everything well, and is an eye catcher for sure.

But I wanted the ZL1 for what IT IS - a badass car in looks AND performance - and I feel like I absolutely stole it.

I loved my C7 and actually was considering a '14 ZL1 when I traded my '08 Viper for the Corvette last year.

GM's recent 20% off MSRP tripped my trigger and with the dealer giving me an extremely generous trade in value, I couldn't resist it. I bought the $59,500 Super Camaro for less than $48k and got a huge chunk of money back to me so it's going to be a great Christmas.

Pics coming soon.

Not sure where all the 48K 2015 ZL1's are because they are not here in Central FL...also, I will be trading in my 2014 2SS and when you trade in a car, the dealer starts at the MSRP number to work your trade in (and the negotiation begins).
