If your wife wouldn't let you get one , this was not the car for you in the first place. This is a car for a special person, one that does not need permission to buy it, one that has to have it,gets it no matter what and wife gets turned on by it. Pure heaven.
If your with the right person this would be a non issue.
Good luck

Do any of you have a link to the 30+ extra HP for the ZL1...I presume you're talking about factory mods. I have been thinking long and hard about buying another 5th Gen Camaro and a ZL1 would fit the "itch" perfectly.

I wouldn't kick a CTS-V wagon out of my garage. Very nice!

My wife asked me yesterday if the ZL1 is capable of lifting its leg on all the other cars. I smiled and said yes as long as its not a Z06 C7

I guess everyone else was ignoring you, but I'll bite.

Are you a putz? First, I'm guessing you don't actually have a 2015 ZL1 yet.

Second, if momma ain't happy, nobody is happy. If you haven't figured that out, then quit giving relationship advice, and I mean right now, do all of your friends a huge favor and stop it.

Finally, I say that I love my car and I wouldn't give it up for anything. Truth, I'd give it up in a heartbeat for the woman I love. As cool as this car is and as much as enjoy owning it, driving it, modding it, and caring for it, it is just a damn car. It really is.

Thank you, and good night.

Unfortunately we only get 6 letters/digits in MA. We apparently cant even have combo number/letter vanity plates here. Anyone have any good TRKSTR variations? MA is 6 numbers or letters, no spaces, no combo letter/number plates.

*Edit....Im not actually sure about what I thought about the letter/number mixing the rule is "does not intermix letters and numbers"

I assume this is tongue in cheek. One does not need a car to turn on their wife, that's how I know I'm with the right person. Could I have ignored her and got a ZL1? Of course I could have, but why would I get something she wouldnt really enjoy?

Sorry to hear this. CTS-V is nice...even the wagon.

You might need these, though...since your wife apparently has them.

Congrats OP on the new Vagon! After owning a bolt on SS for three years then moving to the V sedan, I have zero complaints. The Vagon is so rare, it's a real treat to see one, and you get to see one every day - lucky you! I still can't believe GM made a 556HP station wagon that rides like its on rails. What craziness!

But my wife dropped it on me and said no more two door cars...she hates getting in and out of the back of the 2002 Camaro when she has to be back there and wants to be able to be able to load a car up.

So we compromised.............on a CTS-V wagon! Order # received and hopefully filled soon. So I'll always be with the ZL1s in spirit. Cant wait to get this badboy. Phantom gray, sunroof, wood interior, and graphite wheels...she didnt like the Recaros and I went with an auto but I'm surely not going to complain.

Just as an aside, does anyone know what the ZL1 has upgraded to get the extra 30hp?
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice for the family. It pays off in the long run.
