BEAST Mode
The more miles I put on this car, the more astonished I am with it's Jekyll and Hyde personality. In fact, it may be the most extreme example of that type of car personality that I have ever driven. I used to think it was the McLaren MP4-12C I drove, which was so comfortable yet had supercar performance. But the more I drive the ZL1, the more I think this car is it. Today, for example, I was cruising at 70 mph with the AC and radio on. The car was very compliant, quiet and comfortable, even in Sport mode. Then, I activated PSM and it instantly became a loud, angry, vicious BEAST! I love that about this car

The 6th Gen ZL1 goes from mild to lunatic with just the touch of the gas pedal. I swear, just tap the gas and it is in boost immediately! Half throttle and it lunges for throats. WOT and it becomes a homicidal/suicidal maniac!!

I honestly don't think it has a mild side... it's all wild and angry from where I sit. It looks pissed off when it's sitting still.

I have to agree. Even people that ride with me are shocked at how smooth-ish it rides and relatively quiet and vibration free. Once you go WOT, it's explodes in power and becomes a beast!

Ya i must admit that im shocked at how smooth it can be between the magneride and the 10R90 this car reallt cruises well. Compared to past 4 gens i owned it is a luxury vehicle. But like you said...tap the gas and holy shit...i had high hopes but thos transmission has succeeded them by far!
