I will have to admit that in the 5 years since I bought my 2013 ZL1 convertible, I can count the number of times I've seen another ZL1 out on the road other than at or going to a car show on one hand.
I know they're out there, several members of our club have one, but like I said they're rarely seen on the street. My guess is that the current owners are keeping them safe in the garage protecting them hoping they'll become a collectors car some day. Not me, I drive mine most every day in th summer. |

I am torn between the 5th gen (for looks and price) and the 6th gen (for lower weight, more horsepower and the 10 speed automatic). The 5th gen looks like a classic Camaro. The 6th gen looks like an angry cheese grater! But, if I'm driving it, I'm not looking at it; then it's other peoples problem. I may avoid making a decision by buying a 2013 427 Vette.

However, I'll be keeping mine for the reason's that many other members have already stated...I'm only a couple of appearance mods from having it exactly as I want it, and I'm very happy with it...There's nothing that really appeals to me in the 6th Gen, with the exception of standard line lock/roll stop...

Almost 19K miles on my '14 ZL1 and not a single issues on my Camaro, they are built strong, looks like a Classic Muscle car, gets a lot of attention and not that many on the road, in two years I have seen just one driving by. On a 300 mile radius search I was able only to find 3. This car is a keeper. Mine is even rarer with the Recaro seats.

I've had my eye on the 5th Gen ZL1 before they hit dealers. Researched the Car thoroughly. Put an allocation down for a 6M Crystal Red Metallic 6 months before they hit the dealers.
Saw 2 pre-production models at the 2012 Daytona 500 and yanked my order. Didn't like some things I saw on wheel gap, fit/finish. Car just didn't looked done. Bought a 2012 CTS-V Auto sedan. Loved it, but it was not what I wanted. I actually forgot how to drive in the Auto. Caddy was that good! Chevy Dealership calls me in 2014 and says they have something I have to see. They same ZL1 I ordered, but a 2014 with 6,200 miles, bone stock. Too much car for the original Owner. Traded my CTS-V in the next day on a killer deal. Haven't looked back since. The most impressive Car I have ever owned bone stock! Car Completely insane now. Its going no-where. Don't see the headroom, strength and looks in the new Gen 6 ZL1 in Manual. The A10 is very impressive however. Can't give up the stick and become a passenger again.

My '13 vert spent a week on the lot at Balise Chev in Springfiled, MA before it was snapped up by a little ole couple in CT who bought it to drive to the liquor store once a week.

I'm keeping mine too!
The 5th Gen offers more in terms of original muscle car looks...jmo. A future collector - maybe. Bad ass - definitely.

There are a decent amount of 12/13 models out there, but I'm being marginally picky and want the color hud/DIC and the new rear end (it's grown on me significantly, especially with tinted tails)
