Haha, the more you mention it, the more I see what you are saying.

I don't think the stance is aggressive enough. That's what I noticed first.

I'd ask myself, why did the person get rid of it with all those expensive mods ??????? $11k in Carbon fibre alone, something sounds fishy .... and I also think it looks a bit over the top ..... unless you keep it as a second ride and drive it on weekends/cruises ....




It looks like it should be in a Movie called "Death Race 2000" ..........

I'd consider it if it was still stock without the mods. How many miles on it? Your ZL1 is still brand new.

I had a modded 2011 CTS-V that I used as a daily driver and weekend racer. It was a nice daily driver but at racing venues it is totally outclassed by the ZL1. I really liked a lot of the comfort features in the Caddy when I was taking it to work everyday but in my opinion it was not great at anything and didn't have near the potential that the ZL1 has at any racing venue. I decided to get a more economical daily driver and and make the ZL1 a proper racer.

I guess it all depends on what you do with the car. I would rather daily drive the V, it is more refined. I would rather race the ZL1, it is a much better race car.

I honestly wouldn't know what to do, lol. You have a 2014 ZL1 already. If you had a 2012 ZL1 I would trade it.

IMO either is a win.

It failed the eye test. haha. It was nice, but not at the quality I was thinking it would be. D3 built it, so it was done right. Had too many minor issues. Just body stuff. It has a sick carbon blade wing on the back, so that looked nice. But, it has some fiberglass damage on the front bumper. 2 of the wheels were curb checked. Interior wasn't what I was expecting. I didn't have the Recaros. Wasn't near as tight as the Zl1. But, then again, it was my first time ever driving one, so I prob overhyped it in my head. I know it was used, I get it, but for the mileage, was too rough for my taste. I did test drive it and no way in hell it has 650 hp. The butt dyno wasn't even close to my Zl1 and all I have right now is a RotoFab. The Zl pulls way harder down low, feels more torque on the Zl1. It was nice, but not nice enough for me to do a deal.

The funny thing is, when I was driving home, I told my gf, sorry, but that V didn't have anything on the Zl1. So, that just shows me the Zl1 is a top notch car.

So, I shall wait for the Z06 and see what lies ahead.

for me no way but the coupe is not my bag. I would like it way better if it was the sedan.

If I am going to downgrade in looks that far I at least want some function.


I like the looks of my fairly stock Zl1 better than that v to be compely honest. I would love to have a stock 4 door CTS-v daily driver though.

Yea, body work is something nobody wants to do when spending thousands on later model car ! That sucks ! But good you realize how sweet your Camaro is ! The Z06 is the only C6 that I like. It looks sick!
