but also im no sure how you guys drive the ZL1 on the streets... my SS already feel like a monster, i couldnt imagine having another 200+ hp and trying to get it to grab.
Exactly, was considering a ZL1 as I loved the front end and hood, but knowing I would never track it and after driving an SS and having to let off after 5-6 seconds before going to jail, I personally couldn't justify the extra $20,000+ for the extra 200HP... (4.0 sec 0-60 vs 3.5 sec 0-60) Anything else that matters is on the track... Don't get me wrong, I love the ZL-1, but I feel if you aren't tracking it you are probably paying for something you aren't really going to be able to enjoy...

But that's just my opinion...
