Congrats on the new ZL1 and of course you got the best color. Did the stripe come on the car?

Not really. I had the GT350 for exactly three years. I was one of the lucky ones in that it did not consume an obscene amount of oil, or have any mechanical failures.

Both are great cars.

Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to getting it on a track for a real comparison, but so far it feels like it does everything better than the GT350.

I really miss the sound of the exhaust, and running to 8250 RPMS on a track, but that's about it.

I started thinking about it in March. The Shelby is great on a track, but it's not very fun to drive around town as a weekend toy. You need to be going above 60MPH to really get into the meat of the power-band, which is hard to consistently do on public roads.

Realistically I only go to the track a few times a year in the summer, so I really just wanted something with a little more usable torque off the track. I considered putting a blower on the 350, but without dropping a ton of money on supporting mods I think it would have just been a time bomb. I'd rather put that money into a ZL1. all the Chevy dealerships around me have a lot of nice incentives right now, so it just made sense to pull the trigger.

I considered the GT500 for about a minute. It took me close to 6 months to find a GT350 at MSRP. I don't have it in me to go through that process again. I'm happy with my 650 HP and manual transmission. If I get the itch later I can do a couple simple modifications to get close to the same horsepower. Also, I think it's kind of ugly.

The stripe is growing on me. I did not even know it was a factory option until I saw it on this one.

I probably could have, but then I'd need to find a new wife, and house with a garage to store them.
