Holy small potatos, Batman!...lol...I really hope all ZL1 owners aren't "bothered" by a few parts similar to theirs being added by others to their car...Wth?...Am hoping they are above this sort of petty bs...lol...
And besides, it takes more than a few appearance parts for a car to be a "clone"... Cloned cars (compared to "tribute" types ) are imo complete copies of all features built by an individual as the factory would have...not just a front end, or a few badges... I enjoy having a few non-stock items on mine...not trying to clone or decieve anyone...it's just part of the fun... |

I think the Corvette could be used as an example as it doesn't have different body components as you change from the base to the ZR1 except for GFX, wheels and spoilers. The Camaro has 3 different front bumpers available from the factory and 3 different hoods. I think this is what his wish is for GM to produce a body style that doesn't need to have interchangeable body components in order to identify what car/trim level we are driving. I know when I see a Corvette, I'm trying to distinguish what gen 1st and then look for the badges and added styling cues (from the factory) to see what trim level it is from there. I would think MOST people would want it this way, but there are plenty of others that want to add their own uniqueness to the car, hence the reason for aftermarket companies to satisfy these individuals. :D :headbang: |

I understand the OP's frustration in a way. You pay for the top model and you don't want an LT guy driving around looking the same as you for a lot less money. The only thing is though, you do have the real deal and all the goodies behind that front end to make it earn the ZL1 name. So just be happy in knowing that your not an impostor.
You know, one can not purchase supersnake shelby parts without proof that they own a supersnake. They also cost a lot more than a ZL1 too. |
Do I get a pass with swapping out my facia since I have a ZL even though its a ZL600 vs ZL1.
;-) A huge benefit to me by swapping - since I track my car - is now having brake ducts. i couldnt for the life of me find brake ducts for my car. Also the added downforce is most helpful. So I now have all that and the great aggressive styling. It's all done with :respekt: :drinking: |

Plus they seem to get a lot smaller when you go 'up' in trim levels. :sm0: Sorry, I could not resist. |
I personally think it's as bad as upbadging. When v6 owners throw on a ZL1 hood and bumper :facepalm:
I think it's tacky |

I think most people are misinterpreting what the OP would like for GM to achieve is that he would like for GM to come out with a design that we don't have to shell out more money to make it look/operate right. :bellyroll:...right now that new Corvette's lookin' mighty fine, just got to get the wallet to agree. ;) |
Man what a dumb thread.

You have to be kidding me. There is nothing exclusive about a 50k car. You want to be the only show in town buy a ENZO,VEYRON etc.
To ask for "exclusive" from a mass produced car that you can order replacement parts for from pep boys is :laugh: |

Amen to that! |
Cry much? :bellyroll:
Should have kept the 1le. |
I don't understand all the negativity being directed toward the OP because a big part of the reason for buying a really expensive, exotic car like the ZL1 is to show the world how special you are. And if regular people can alter their plebian vehicles to mimic the appearance of your exotic, well then that defeats a large purpose of owning the exotic, doesn't it?
I feel your pain, OP. Personally, I do not even wear my Rolex anymore because of the rampant proliferation of knock-offs that any poor person could afford. The final straw came when someone complimented my watch, but then asked if it was real. I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Then, just the other night, while the wife and I were waiting for our usual table at Smith & Wollensky's, a woman, clearly a commoner (upper middle class at best), came in and stood next to us carrying what was obviously a counterfiet Prada bag. Needless to say the wife, carrying a real one, was embarassed beyond words and could only be placated with a buying spree at Tiffany's. So yes, when regular people try to pretend they are us it is upsetting. Most people on this forum won't get that, but I've got your back. |
GM is the master of copy cars.
These are the same platform SUV's Chevy TrailBlazer GMC Envoy Isuzu Asscender Saab 9-7X Buick Rainier Oldsmobile Bravada Chevy SSR |
The timeslips of the ZL1 makes it different from a V6 or SS with the body panels, but you can't say anything about it if an SS looking like a ZL1 hands it to ya.
