Hell, if you had asked me only 3-4 years ago I would have told you no way would I get an auto in my first real performance vehicle. I tried to buy a GT350R before I found out about the Z but the ADM ran me off luckily. I started seeing articles & reading about the development of the A10 & was really torn when it came time to order. Wish I had both!! Point being there's no excuse to try & go out of your way to be a keyboard warrior ass simply because you feel using your left foot makes you a superior self perceived driver.

I was really surprised the GT500 was not released with a manual & hope they come through for those looking...also waiting t see what this new V8 Tributo Ferrari will offer & reckon another DCT. Autos are steamrolling on the snobs & their drivel with the drive by insulting auto comments is becoming asinine. Those who chose a manual because that is what they want to drive understand we are not lumping together. Hell, my next could very well be one too. Amazing as the tech is I still have a little itch from time to time.

The ADM on the R is so worth it. You will not see one at the stop light next to you unlike with the ZL.

I have only seen 2 other ZL1s in the wild besides mine in the 2 years that I've had this car.

I've only seen one other Z down here in the valley who is a member here, several 350's...one other R. Since March 17.

I'll never pay one penny over sticker...no regrets at all owning the faster car?? The 350's are handsome, but think our Z's are just wicked sick cool & look like they are screaming fast at a stand still.

I don’t recall seeing a 6th Gen ZL1 yet. And in my job I cover a very large area of southern Ontario. I’ve seen gt350s . I’ve seen one GT350R.
I’ve been in a 100th anniversary Louis Chevrolet ZR1 with about 800RWHP.
Somehow these 6th Gen ZL1s have eluded me. Go figure.

Down here in FL, I'm one of 3 ZL1's within 5 blocks, LOL.

Plus 1. I won’t pay that thrash. Straight free money giving to dealer. No one gives me free money at work. I have to work for that money hard.

It’s a mark up the dealer adds to the car because people pay it. It’s free money to the dealer. Sometimes 5k, 10k, etc.
