Living in So Cal the car is a blast on canyon roads and I've yet to see anything match its performance. A good friend of mine has a car that can "corner," an e92 M3, that just gets destroyed...I frequently stop and get out of the car and wait on Angeles Crest for him to catch up. The sad part is I feel like I am only doing 50% of the cars potential.

For fun I did chase down a guy going all out in a WRX...until he pulled over to let me by. Not entirely fair...but still fun
Hilarious! Out of curiosity...why a "total D-bad"? Because of the carbon footprint. F those neighbors if tgats the case....get put there and keep rippn. I just go out to drive a couple times a week. My wife thinks im crazy or cheatn on her...idc sometimes the car is just calling me...subliminally...got to activate performance shift...must rip it up...

Generally speaking I don't like many Tesla owners hence the D-bag the comment They all generally think they are the most superior people on the road.

My wife has the same feeling...she tolerates the camaro, but it irritates her every time she walks by the car in the garage I also put the Borla ATAK exhaust on the car so it shakes the entire house on a cold start...this may have something to do with her dislike also

Garage queen here. I work 60+ hrs a week for work. So she patiently waits in the garage for me. Has only seen rain 2x. Only use a mitt to wash it twice a year.

I drag race mine often. And I just drove it 2,500 miles to Florida and back just beating the Hurricane. 25 mpg average! But my Dragon Tail side trip was rained out. :(

This car is made for the track, is an okay drag racer, is a great long distance driver, and I have to say no to all the girls who try to get in for a ride. How did they put all that in one car?

My 2016 corvette at 835whp has 29,000 miles. The ZL1 will be driven daily as well. Corvette will get occasional use as well.

Is your daughter going to App State? My better half is a graduate of App State. Boone is a cool town.

I'm in a rental house that has a garage that is too small for my car. So she sits in a self-storage unit 5 miles from my house, getting driven on weekends. I can't even go to the garage to take a look at her.

Too small for a Camaro? Is this a lawnmower garage?

Mine is not my daily but drive it as much as I can which unfortunately isn't much. Life is busy right now between work and family.
Got her at the end of Jan and she just turned 1100 miles and no she will not see rain.

LOL. No, but it is small. Couldn't fit her, even if we removed the 5 motorcycles from in there.

Damn must be nicing having lots of money to buy something and not/rarely use it. Life is wayyyy too shot and I'm too broke to buy something this pricey and not use it. I drive my Zl1, ctsv, and Z06 in all weather (no snow in Houston) and rain doesn't hurt me or my cars.
