The GT was gone. After that, I upgraded the rear suspension and now the car feels a lot more stable under hard throttle, but I'm still very cautious. The RS3 and Tesla have spoiled me. They're so easy to drive fast. You can literally floor it at any speed in any situation (other than snow, maybe, idk - we dont get snow here) and the car instantly shoots straight forward. Some say that makes them boring, but as I get older, I do appreciate safety and predictability.

So, I enjoy the ZL1 for all the other things it is - looks and sounds great, still has plenty of power even when you're not fully on it. Handles and brakes well, etc etc. BUT, I do not take it out on public roads to thrash it. I'm not confident enough in my ability or the unpredictability of roads/situations. At the end of the day, getting the car back into the garage safely is most important.
