Great review, but did you read the comments. Lol, what a bunch of idiots that really don't know crap about the ZL1.

You've got the guy comparing the GT3 to a convertible and so on and so forth. I have a 991 Carrera 2S and even though it's fun to drive and awesome it is completely different experience and it does not scratch the same itch as the V8 LT1 in my recently traded-in 2017 2SS. That V8 with the NPP and the whole shifting/sound/immediate torque etc. is unique. So, hoping my incoming ZL1 turns that to "11"... throw in supercharger whine as cherry on top... |

Less really isn't more here, except for the price. This is why having a sunroof made more sense to me and was the route I went. You can get an open air experience somewhat, while maintaining all of the performance goodies. I can't fathom spending more for a car with so much less (Even though I don't intend to race it), but I bet they'll sell a ton of them. It is undeniably a beautiful car in this trim, but just wasn't for me. Bring back the T-Top and everyone wins!

The bicycle comments were the real point of reference.

Nice review! Question...will we really miss the PTM in the vert? We won't be tracking this car and there will often be 3 of us in it. Does PTM really only come into play on the track?

Have you read many of the comments in their reviews over the last couple of years? They're stuck in 2000 and still think all American cars are garbage and all German and Japanese cars are the best.

That carbon fiber is tight! Completes the dashboard. Technically most every other performance car you can think of offers carbon fiber trim either optional or standard. I would LOVE to buy this and install it on my car.
