New zl1 owner - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Msmall143 · 01-20-2014, 08:37 PM

I previously had a 1le but was hit head on and the car was totaled. I picked up a 2013 zl1 today and love it so far. Had 1 report on carfax but seemed to be cosmetic requiring some repaint, nothing mechanical. I also had them do a full alignment. FYI...previous owner is a redksins player which is pretty cool. He traded this in on a s63 amg

2013 full optioned with 4k miles.
Exposed carbon insert is cool
.
Car was also bought new in April 2013 so it hasn't even been none road a year.

I just couldn't justify going down the street and buying a new 2014 for the same price I could snag a zl1 for. And honestly this is the ideal car for me. Has the mylink and the rear I like.

Looking forward to learning about these bad boys....first mod advice?

Dealer pics...I'll get some good ones soon.

Welcome to the zl1 club brother! First mod would be a cold air intake, I would think.

DrkPhx · 01-20-2014, 08:50 PM

Welcome and sorry to hear about the 1LE. You got a smoking deal! Everyone will say CAI for first mod; but I would get the clear bra first. These cars are bug and rock magnets.

No shit man! Had the ass end out and got a bit twisted within a mile of the dealership. I'll get the feel for it.

I'll probably do the clear bra and get a nice set of mats. Then start a game plan for performance mods.

Awesome! You got the best color, too! Go for the roto-fab, you'll love it!

Right on and congrats. We'll all be interested in hearing your thoughts on the difference going from a 1LE to the ZL.
