Viper is very appealing but if I'm honest with myself it's going to be a difficult daily driver.

I daily drive the ZL1 1LE now and it's approaching the max discomfort I'm willing to live with daily -- livable but extreme.

The ZL1 1LE or another Z06 is really my perfect fit.
I'd say the next closest at opposite ends of my spectrum are GT350R or HC Redeye.

I appreciate all the input and conspiracy theories.
I am going to try this recall #17457 and if that fixes it then I owe everyone an apology and will keep the car. If it doesn't then I will probably try to tune this ZL1 1LE and risk my warranty.

I hate the problems I've been having but as most have said, there really isn't anything better in the domain I'm looking for.

GT350R: not enough torque, but i've never driven one so I can't say for sure. Otherwise I think it's a pretty good fit. If the lack of torque wasn't awful and I could get one for MSRP this would be it.

HC Redeye: Too heavy and not a great handling car, but I do like the purist muscle car *thing*. I could do that for awhile.
