The exterior of mine isn’t perfect. It would take about $3G to make it perfect. Mechanically tho, it’s flawless. |

The Mecums will turn it into a collector's piece, particularly in that the world plans is to stop making gasoline autos in the 2030s.

I also think that when it comes to resale, mileage trumps use case. Mileage is king. Which is primarily why I’m unloading mine. If I don’t, it’ll be a 60k+ mile car by the end of next Summer.

Mileage is HUGE when determining the value of any automobile.

One thing I will say about the ZL1/ZLE is that it is a very easy car to drive. I’ve been an absolute idiot in mine and it makes me a much better driver than I probably am. Now other cars like the Viper and even most Vettes, you really have to know what you’re doing behind the wheel. The weight of the Camaro also helps keep you out of trouble.
The C8 Z06 is also a handful on the limit. If you search for C8 Z06 at NJMP there is a video floating around of a pretty good driver struggling to keep the car straight. By contrast if you watch any of my vids there you’ll see that I can almost sip a cup of hot coffee with the car on the limit as it’s so composed. (Www.youtube.com/turbo329) I think this is the biggest thing I love most about the ZLE. |

Thanks a lot, Leonard, you have a good one yourself, too. I'm 100% sure the majority of us would get along quite well in real life, just as you said

Yes it is. Amazingly agile and responsive.

I think this is of much less concern than buyers getting spooked thinking you took your Muscle/ Pony car to the drag strip.

It probably is less concern, that's why I said there are SOME buyers that might be spooked, but nonetheless they do exist. That being said, you can take ANY car to a drag strip but it's safe bet that many potential buyers might honestly feel any performance car has been flogged some by a previous owner. If I was selling a car with a drag pack installed, it might send a message to some potential buyers that the car was raced some at the drag strip. Some will care, some won't.
