You can see the rarest models at dealers. lmao.. And people always find a way to put down camaros talking about ppl find it hard to spend 60k on a camaro. Please ... Stop hating on the ZL1's. A lot of haters in here.

Ppl that can't buy the ZL1 always putting them down. Why do some on here even have a camaro? ??
The ZL1 is a badass car, some people on here including myself picked SS models for a reason, RACECAR I couldn't get a ZL1 spend $60k and gut the car to build a drag car so why not spend $35k and start there. Now on the highlighted comment you made that has got to be the one of the douchiest ways of expression.

Looks are always subjective. I don't care much for the Camaro SS. Just too many of them around and then guys playing with stripes, rims, etc. But the ZL1 was a whole 'nother story. The front fascia is just menacing. Probably why so many SS drivers steal it. Everything including the vented hood is purposeful vs. posing. I just loved it. Only made one mistake on mine and that was buying a convertible. No way I was going to put a rollbar in that car to go racing so it had to go.

But yes, the CTS-V coupe is hard to beat on looks. Looks very futuristic and I think it'll hold it's style value for at least 5 years.

Yup, just something about a 4,444 pound 4 door running 10's. When I drove it to the track I'd have my skinnies and drags in the trunk. Guys would wander over and ask me what I'd run today and I'd say probably 10.80's. They'd just laugh and walk away shaking their heads......until I ran. Then they all wanted to talk.

I finally did get a nice set of dedicated race wheels (bogarts), man I love those wheels. I also kept it pretty clean under the hood.

LOL. Yeah, it was good in 2005 when it came out, but that was 9 years ago. Definitely a little dated now. New owner loves it just as much as I did back in 2006.

Now I'm smitten with the new one. That's the fun part about cars. When you're done with it, let it find a new home with someone who will love it as much as you did.
