Come on now Farmer, we need you back on team brother! I know what you mean though, that price is to steep for me. She’s a beauty in that color though.

8K markup on a stripper? Yeah NO!!! If They gave me fair market for the Scat and my fathers GM Employee - the wife and I would be heading out tomorrow,

but, alas, these are not the times we live in anymore

LT4Greg · 08-30-2021, 08:46 PM

Fran, all ZL1s are equipped and not stripped. Most have some options like mine and some more options. If you want a ZL1 then special order one with no options.

gtfoxy · 08-30-2021, 08:46 PM

Now you are talking, brother.

I know guys, such as yourself, like verts, but for me, just no man.

Screw them too,

I just picked mine up for $1K under MSRP. F’ them!

Ok, fair enough - but 8K for a car without 8K of options I could get a bunch of goodies. As for ordering, not how I roll.

True!

When I started looking I saw a few verts for MSRP, maybe A10’s, but I skipped over them so don’t know.

Mine wasn’t even in when we started the paperwork. I was seeing some mark-ups so… well, I’ll just let the texts speak for themselves.

You're looking for a stripper ZL1?

IMO I would just buy the LT1 Camaro and then throw on a super charger, and upgrade the brakes and some other stuff.

Make it faster than a ZL1 AND save some cash and have something really unique with the features that you picked out yourself.

It’s like a quicky nooner with the old lady.

That certainly is a viable option, if all you want is the power, but a ZL1 is about so much more than that. Even a stripper is so far beyond a LT1 in terms of included factory equipment it’s not even a comparison.

As someone who contemplated that exact pathway on a 1SS, yet I’m balls deep into my 2nd ZL1, I have to humbly disagree.

It’s not about just the power, but everything that comes with it.

Granted a vert lacks the eLSD it’s still leaps & bounds above a LT1 with a blower in many ways. Which OP had IIRC.

When I think stripper I think bare bones.

TBH though when it comes to Camaro in general I'm not buying it for it's handling abilities. I see it as a muscle car. I want the fast in a straight line. If I want a true sports car I'd get a Corvette or Porsche.

Gone are the days when GM had a 20% off sale on the ZL1's cause there were so many still on the lots everywhere. Bought mine when they were mid fifty's new from several dealers.
