Man, I love it! I was happy with the car without the mods but then decided to make a few changes, a few turned into quite a few more.

The change is HUGE! Its a monster now, half the time I'm half throttle and my wife thinks Im wide open. Then I go wide open... haha

I go to Miami a couple times a year for business. I will have to the ZL1 down there when I get it and would love to check out your car in person.

Very impressive mpg for those speeds.

From what I've found http://performancedrivinggroup.com/ seems to run the most track days at Sebring, I was thinking of signing up.

Never seen that group but looks good to me.The prices are higher than I was paying in the past. I have been to Sebring with Porsche owners club, Chin Motorsports, Audi club North America.
Don't worry before I take the car to Sebring I will be looking for lots of feedback on how to prep this car for Sebring! Would be fun to go with other Zl1s. Chin motorsports tends to have a wide range of cool cars when they rent the track. Winter months are better times there since it is hot, wet and humid there during the summer months. I would rather not drive 650hp on a track in the rain!

True, since you have to pay in advance rain or shine, summer is definitely hit or miss.

I did find Chin as well, haven't really compared prices yet. But since this sport is replacing motorcycle track days and golf (my back finally went from years of abuse), I'm used to expensive hobbies as long as I get my adrenaline fix

Once you get to a road course with the car you will be hooked! It will solve your adrenaline fix! At Sebring I am guessing this car will hit 160 on the big straight.

I would drive it maybe 10k miles a year and wondering how reliable it has been.
Thanks,

I traded my 11 S4 in on my ZL1, it is my DD. I do have an old Civic beater for snow days.

I got the BMR lockout kit along with the lower / upper / trailing arms on the way...while it is a nifty feeling, I'm getting rid of the fishtail!!

You miss the S4 at all? How my car sits now I would get raped if I tried to trade it in. After having the supercharged V8 I am thinking you don't miss the supercharged V6!

I love driving this car...it has 14K in 1.5 years.

Do you have a wicker bill on the back? If so any pics?

I get to pick my hours so I commute during less traffic. About 25 highway miles and 30 mountain/twisty miles each way. It's a blast. I can cut the 25 highway miles down to about 10 and take another back/mountain way but it takes a bit longer for that particular route.

My recommendation is if you do a lot driving in relatively high traffic areas, I would get the automatic. I bought the car for the simple reason its a great every day car!
