Got My New Ride!
I want to start off by saying, I KNOW this is a Camaro forum and the arch enemy of the Camaro has always been the Mustang. So first, I would like to say I absolutely LOVE the ZL1, and was very close to getting one before I came across the good deal I came across. All you ZL1 guys will get nothing but thumbs up and props from me, so please don't consider me a rival, but a fellow American car loving comrade.
Anyway, without further adieu, I found an awesome deal at a dealer ship in Massachusetts for my trade-in as well as the car. I had a 2013 Ford Focus ST that wasn't even a year old. I paid $25,600 for it and they gave me just a tad under $24,000 for it!!! I drove all the way from Long Island, NY to MA in this:  And I drove all the way home, in this!!!  The power of this car is terrifying! I have never driven anything that so effortlessly gets to highway speeds. I swear, this car was made as if the speed limit was 120 mph. 1st gear goes to a bit over 60 mph, and at 80 mph in 6th gear, I'm barely turning 1500 rpms. Still getting used to the power but so far, I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Here are a couple more pictures taken at the house:     And here is a walk around video of the car as well as the stock exhaust sound. This car really roars in stock form, I'm actually quite surprised at how much rumble it has stock! Again, please don't hate me because of this, I'm not trying to start s***, I'm just excited over my new car

Good job. I would have bought that car if not for the new 15 coming out. Shelby is badass. Whoever says otherwise is a fan boy. Enjoy and be careful with the snake.

 Congrats on the new car. Enjoy and be safe.

Very nice! That black paint looks flawless. I'd love to own a GT500, along with my ZL1.

Nice, good score. Now break in the engine and do a huge burnout! With pics of course.
