Nice, I do hope you made a few slower passes to actually take in the scenery. Who am I kidding, looking out the window in the Camaro?





Back to the topic though, while the aero-bits on the ZLE look impressive and menacing, I just feel like it's overkill for anything less than 80% track use. I guess if you want everyone, everywhere you go to know that you're a serious racer then I say have at it. We're all adults and have earned the right to spend our money as we see fit.





It reminds me of the Honda rice burners with ridiculously sized wings and mismatched faux-carbon fiber body panels dropped so low that they have to crawl through a rail road crossing. Not that there was anything wrong with it, but seeing a pizza delivery sign/sticker on it and the pimple-faced driver behind the wheel in full "Pizza delivery" garb, I mean I get it the kid can probably only afford one car and his "Track all-star" has to wear a pizza delivery hat on its "days off". But the need for racing hardware when going to the hardware store to pick up a bottle of Weed-B-Gone just seems silly, IMO. I'd say if you need that much of a track car, just make sure you're wearing the correct clothing all the time when behind the wheel. Maybe something like below, and don't forget the helmet and racing gloves.


(Oh and yes, I'm secretly hoping that you now hear Mariachi music in your head )
