2017 Garnet Red ZL1 Convertible - 6 Speed
Drove home from the dealership at noon today. Ohhhhhhh what a ride!!!!! This ZL1 is every bit as exciting as the ZR1s and Z06s I have driven. Being 6'5" I was concerned about headroom and legroom. Neither are an issue. Headroom is good for me however the rake of the windshield forces you to fully recline the seatback for optimal vision through the windshield. Unlike the Z06…..I have a good four inches from my knees to the lower dash knee bolster. The Recaros are narrow but very supportive. With my 38" waist it is a snug fit. The high tech features and interior appointments have really stepped up the feel of the Gen 6. Off to the Suntek installer in the a.m. It’s gonna be difficult keeping this beast of an engine below the recommended guideline of 4000 rpm for 1500 miles.

Extreme difficulty
Keeping below 4000 RPM and 80 MPH is very very difficult. Congratulations.

Congrats! Beautiful car! Yes.....I've been struggling to stay within the break-in boundaries myself. Can't wait to see what it feels like when I can completely open her up!

Dammit trident, every time I see a picture of your car I know I ordered the right machine. I have the same color and spec on the way, shipped 4200.
To OP that's a sharp looking color, not many Garnet red out there yet. The pictures look a bit clouded over but it still looks good. Congrats! Love the updates. |

I showed my wife a picture of your car and she says to me "you probably would have enjoyed having a convertible. You should have ordered one instead of the coupe." %$#@&*+#$%^&*(!

Well your initial photos on this forum sealed the deal for me on garnet red. I was torn between the reds or hyper blue. My 68 Firebird and Z06 are hot/torch red so garnet is a nice departure. The wife even likes it........go figure (lol).
