Just picked up my 17 ZL1!!!
WOW!! WOW!!
So initially the dealership thought the car wouldn't arrive for about a week or two. Then they said it'll be here by Wednesday. So today they called me and said it was already there and that it is ready for me to pick it up. So I went, gave it a good ole test drive, and brought her home. And wow man, what an unbelievable car this thing is. The power it has is amazing. I have never owned anything even close to it!! Here is my review... My first drive was in the rain, lol!! And this thing just hugged the road and did not give up. Never lost grip, nothing. Of course I didn't plant my foot in it. But I did do some spirited driving and it never lost it's balance. On the ride home at 70-80 mph she just had such control. This car inspires such confidence and begs you to drive it hard and fast. How you can drive a 650 hp/tq in wet weather without soo much as even a slip is unbelievable. It just has such control and manners. But that pedal, under it, is a monster...a well dressed, polite, monster!! That engine paired up with that 10 speed trans is just out of this world. At virtually any speed, mash the throttle even slightly and it wants to take off. From a light it can either behave or go insane. The steering is tight but not overpowering. The brakes will get things under control in no time. And it handles like it is on rails. I hear that the 1LE version of the ZL1 handles even better. To be honest, if it does, the I can only imagine...because this car handles like a dream. Interior noise levels, well, besides the exhaust, are minimal if you ask me. The interior is cozy and intimate. Everything you need is right there. And it is easy to learn. Some cars take a good amount of time learning how to use their features. This thing is simple and easy to use. Yet it has lots of features. Enough that you will never get bored driving it. If you do get bored in it, then just mash that pedal, lol!! I gotta say, this is a very well built, well thought out, nice, powerful, safe, comfortable vehicle. I am an enthusiast. But even a brand loyalist would have to appreciate such a magnificent machine. Oh...sorry to end this soo abruptly...the road is calling me and I've been typing too much. I didn't buy this to type about it...going out for a drive...sorry to cut my review short. I'll be back when my gas tank is on E, lol!! |

LOL!! Yea yesterday was a very long day. Between the weather, returning my 10 SS back to stock, driving around to get parts shipped out that people bought from me, getting to the dealership to sign everything and pick it up, and getting to the liquor store...needless to say I was wiped out. I posted tons of pics last night but didn't get a chance to get them on here. I'll have to re-size them. So I'll have them up some time tomorrow or Friday!!
