But for me HP sells. I think the next ZL1 needs to make a statement, at least for me it does.
i certainly understand what you mean. I love our 2012 ZL1 M6 and I will not be trading it for another ZL1-Z28-1LE Gen6 unless it is far and beyond our car. Whatever the next car(s) have when they are released, they have to be more than just horsepower. The exhaust has to sound as good or better. Our ZL1 sounds a lot better than our 2015 Z51 Corvette. Our A8 Corvette has overheating problems on the track, so I am definitely waiting till the overheating problems are resolved. It has to handle better and be just as much fun on short runs as on long trips. This time I am going to wait for Recaro seats. The whole package just has to be better than what we currently have.
