What made me interested to find out more was I had the amazing opportunity (thanks to a B-Day gift from my brother) to drive a Ferrari 458 Italia yesterday (among some other amazing cars) on a canyon run event. The Ferrari was the most amazing experience I've ever had in a car. WOW. The sound of that engine and the phenomenal transmission in that thing just blew me away. The way it would downshift as we were coming up to a corner hard on the brakes was perfect, it was always in the perfect gear!
I know the ZL1 isn't a Ferrari, but from what I read here the A10 was capable of much of the same predictive shift abilities that the Ferrari exhibited. I'd like to take the ZL1 back to the same canyon road and see how it does.
I will say I was VERY happy to be back in the ZL1 after the event. The ZL1 could easily have kept up with the cars I was driving, or pretty darn close (and even out performed some)...and for 1/3 or 1/4 the cost in some cases!
The cars were:
Ferrari 458 Italia
McLaren 570S
Dodge Viper GT
Porsche Cayman GTS
BMW M4 Comp. Package
Bentley Continental Convertible
