I've been waiting for the Roadster since Dec 2017, guess it's around the corner now

I thought the same until I owned one. We're on our second Tesla now, just picked up a Model X Plaid two weeks ago. Me and my wife enjoy the Hell out of them. I drive the Tesla's more than I do my modified ZL1.

Anyone's guess, they're taking deposits but it's a step entry price.

Really to sell your ZL1?

For stop and go, day to day city driving Teslas make perfect sense, but I wouldn't say that is really driving

A tidal wave of competition is coming for Tesla, used values will start dropping like an old appliance as more of them are cranked out and battery technology continues to advance

I'd rather drive a BMW e car than a Tesla personally

ZL1 values will probably be going up (more)

Like, who says 650hp is not enough 😂?

I’ve modified slower cars before so I get it, but I struggle to hold onto the steering wheel while WOT + changing gears lol.

It’s pretty dang loud stock, but I also drive a ‘Vert so it’s more raw for me probably. Interested in seeing people’s responses

What kind of question is this? Especially in this forum. Go walk into a Bar and ask the people why they drink.

You have a point, but, with no disrespect intended, a shallow one. I think it is a good question. That answer can be layered, as I mentioned in an earlier post. I think it's a fun question if you really think about it.

Hell I just bought a brand new bmw x4m comp and already installed the race chip gts on it

Every car I've ever had I thought-nothing another 100hp wouldn't fix.

This fat pig certainly needs 500lbs less and better brakes after adding another 200hp.

Fat big is always relative - compared to what, a GT3? Completely different price point. Name car at this price point with a better lap time in C&D Lightning Lap *crickets*

M cars are heavy too

its hard to argue for a better price/performance ratio than these cars, actually I don't think you can make a solid argument...

The Camaro, especially the ZL1, is a fat pig?

I certainly earned these toys but my body is paying the toll.

I didn't even list everything off but, it wasn't intended as a flex, per se. It's just interesting how some folks have very similar car lineups.

Weighs quite a lot, but feels like feather

Exactly, and if it's a "fat pig", I can't even imagine what a Hellcat would be.
