While it got better then the cement truck handling it had before, it now became a home jarring ride. At 52 that didn't work for me haha. So I started not enjoying the car as much on the weekends as I used to. My good friend and neighbor Jim who is 67 wanted a toy car as well. We went to drive the new mustang then the new SS Camaro. After riding in the 2SS with magnetic suspension and the dual mode exhaust I was hooked. Since I still wanted a supercharger the only obvious choice was a ZL1. I couldn't afford a new one so I searched for a super low mileage one owner pre-owned car. The 1,200 mile 6 speed I found 2 hours from home fit the bill nicely!! Jim and I drove out Saturday at 6am, got there by 7:50, had breakfast, then switched cars. The deal was made over the phone so I was literally out of there in under an our. The ride home on my new to me ZL1 was nothing short of amazing. It was easy to compare the level of refinement and ergonomics between the 2 cars. The Shelby was much more raw. The ZL1 is a refined fast is best as I can describe it. As sorry as I was to part with the Shelby, I knew I made the right choice.

Thanks...Great response and reasoning...

Wanted to take it out today, busy at work all week and I woke up to 4" snow lolol. All I can say is it's a good thing I picked it up last Saturday and not waited! So.... I spent most of the day in the garage detailing the wheels and engine compartment. The black wheels are a challenge but came out very nice. They were clean already but now there clean to my standards. Same with the motor. Did some mild spot cleaning then detailed and dressed everything. It's going to be a long winter.

What a great day. The ZL1 rides so much better then the Shelby. Got $31,800 on a trade in and paid $39,000 for the ZL1. I think it was an awesome deal. Nice dealership. Fast, friendly transaction.
The ride home was awesome. What a car! So much more refined then what I drove in with. The Shelby was slightly modified and put 560 at the wheels and had a full Eibach and Roush road race suspension. Nice car but the ZL1 is in a different class. I can't wait to start with some modifications. Thinking about a pulley, air box, headers and a good tune to start. Any suggestions?
