I came from a Scat Pack Shaker to my ZL1. Loved the scat pack, but wanted a better balanced car that could turn. But, the old school looks of the Challenger are something special. And, getting in and out of her was a lot easier than the pretzel maneuver I have to do getting into my ZL1! Enjoy your Scat Pack!

I'm gay so this would not have been an issue for me. I'm also not one to ask permission when it's MY MONEY. If you need to ask permission I feel bad for you. I can see if it was a ridiculous purchase but we are talking abt a 60k ish car when a loaded new honda Accord is 40k. As long as nothing financially is effected on the home front make your move but out of respect simply state (not ask) that you have been looking at new Camaro's and will probably be picking one up soon.

Your post is what’s wrong with America anymore. Money is no object and the “me me me, I do whatever the F I want” mentality. |

I discussed my ZL1 with my wife before buying it and her answer was that if it was important to me and I thought it was worth it, I should buy it. So I went for one last test drive and decided to sign the papers. I came home and her response was "I can't believe you actuality bought it". I think we both learned an important lesson.

OP I respect you very much for putting this post up. There is some really great people in this forum that show the appropriate amount of love and respect for the wife and or partner. Great to see. It’s when that respect is not there is when I find your not with your best friend anymore. That’s a sad day in a relationship in my opinion. I just got my ZL1 last Friday. My wife isn’t super happy I did it - but I sure am! Lol. She said if we can afford it and it makes me happy then I should do it. Well I did it. No regrets here. Rides like a dream compared to my 2SS. Post a pic when you pick it up. Cheers |

The magnetic ride alone was the second largest reason I switched over. First being 200 more HP. The ride is noticeably better for me. The power and shifting is much better as well. There was nothing wrong with the 2SS. Nothing at all. The ZL1 was just that much better. More power, better shifting and that magnetic ride is awesome. To be fair - last year when I bought my 2SS there was only 1 ZL1 1LE and I didn’t like it. It’s a track car and I’m not tracking my car. So my dream car was a black ZL1 with the 10 speed auto. They got the exact car I wanted in and asked if I wanted to see it before anyone else. We don’t get many cars like this in Canada. I went down and looked at it and it’s the car I wanted to begin with. They gave me almost exactly what I paid for my 2SS and gave me a decent deal on this one. The rest is history. No regrets. I love this car. |

it was easy to convince my wife , she got a z06 last year so I got mine 6 months later with no problem , the issue was when I pulled the motor out a couple days after I got it to do mods , that is what she was less than impressed about . lol
