Looks great, congrats man!

Your money, you earned it, do what you want. Demonizing success and being jealous of those that have more due to hard work, oh what a society...

I hear those boxers run pretty good.

Can't fool me, two hot cars now share the same garage, NICE! American Muscel and a Tuner. If you do the math, you could of bought 6700 gallons of fuel or approx 100,000 miles on the ZL1. But I agree with you, the DD also needs to match your passion for fun cars! Don't think for a second that the majority of ZL1 owners use their beast as a DD. I'm already planning on when i'll move CEBA to the heated garage for the winter. Enjoy!

No the ones that came stock were pretty puny. They looked good but were 17" and too skinny. These are 19x8.5 and made by a company called Five Axis who makes body kits, wheels, etc. for imports.

They do have a similar shape. This car is about 400-500 lbs lighter and has 130 less HP but they do get compared a lot.

You mean to say the FRS has 450hp ?

Just checked, the FRS is 380hp less than the ZL1 ... And more than 1300lbs lighter ...

Sry, thought you were talking about the FRS

Nice rides! I have seen a few FR-S or BR-Z's but only because I look at almost every car coming and going on the interstate. I think they are kinda plain, but I hear they are a fun drive.

You and me both. Then mod the other vehicle on top. I can barely afford some of the ridiculously high mods out for our cars.

Always good to have options incase the wife takes the Camaro.

Despite my passion for all things "CHEVY", my son who just turned 16 wants a FRS and taking him this weekend to test drive one!
