I have always seen this hobby as a work in progress. My process is get new car and immediately take it to the track bone stock. See what it would run, then add a DR to the mix and see what a stone stock car is capable of.
Then start modding with the intent that I will be taking steps to getting fast. I dont need to have the fastest racecar on the street. But something that makes me giggle when I stab it.
And the ZL1 does that. Its like driving a rollercoaster. Its also a stab it and go car, but thats with all the TC on. Turn that off and you are fighting traction, and the car wanting to drift, its a blast to drive.
Then turn back on the track/PTM modes and the car will literally drive it self with no help from you. Its such a multi-personality car. With everything on you can just stay on the gas around corners or from a dig and the car just sorts it all out.
Then with it all off, the car wants to kill you as quick as possible. Which is what the hellcat did all the time nannys on or off.
The ZL1 might not be the most powerful car anymore in its class but it does everything way above average. I think you will love it. You will get the same refinement but the car is still raw as hell and challenging to drive but only when you want it that way.
I say do it. It only money.

Thanks for the writeup! This is exactly what I wanted to hear, and exactly why the M3 kills me on the inside.
