just want to add in, that I was correct on the ZL1 only being marginally quicker and it is actually slightly slower in the 1/4 mile vs the base. That said, I like the base with no spoiler, later on...

I've always said if you can't afford a new BMW, then for sure you can't afford an old BMW. Your price points go out the door as soon as something breaks on that 50,000 mile heavily abused ZR1........

I was impressed that that it was faster than the GT Ford. That said GM says they have hit the limit of front engine rear drive... So the C7 ZR1 is top dog now... but the clock is ticking.
