You do know that Camaro costs less than half of a comparable ( if even comparable ) merc right? Apples to apples.

You're not the demographic for the car. It's designed to pay homage to past Camaros.

And I get it, I just don't like it and apparently a lot more people enjoy the outside than they do the inside. I never liked any camaro interior, ever, but sure do love nearly all camaro exteriors.

The bottom-line is that the ZL1 is a pony car, not a luxury autobahn burner. It appeals to the demographic that it was designed for and for the money, it's performance is blistering, blowing away an number of cars for far more money. Hate it or love it, it's one hell of a value and has it where it counts when you're a pony car that happens to run pretty damn good on the road course.

I let my friends gf drive my car tonite and she doesnt even recognize his SRT's.
It's all relative some people you are faster than who drive Ferrari's and Lambos
probably say it's just a benz
I have 3 cars in my garage that cost much less than my G that will run circles around it (including my e55)
Always respect a fast car is my motto no matter what the BADGE says on the back.

05 crossfire w/SL55 drivetrain installed by Rudy Compart Intake/Needswings best et-10.76 @ 129
as a car guy I like all cars, some more than others, on the bottom my list, is anything made by General Motors.

Just think about it, on a very quiet night when you drive past a junkyard If you are very quiet, you can hear chevrolet's rust.

No I don't care at all for the Camaro. Jim

Ps if one was given to me ,i would want to know who wants to buy it NOW.

I have been told that is what SL drivers are all about too.

Maybe the SL500 that might be true but certainly not the V-12 versions as those SL's are sick performance wise.

'09 CLK550, '21 Camaro ZL1 1LE, '06 C55 AMG, '20 AMG GT53
I just bought a ZL1 and coming from an S65, it is quite an adjustment. Handling is far superior in the ZL1 but straight line hands down goes to the S65. Interior refinment is what you expect from GM but a slight step up from the standard SS Camaro. The ride is amazingly compliant in "touring" mode for a pony car with this latest version of the magnetic ride suspension. It needs some hp mods to get it fast enough for me...LOL! I enjoy the attention it gets because a ZL1 is a bad *** looking vehicle with the black/black color combo I purchased. Anyways, I like it and will love it at VIR in November.

But the S65 was what? 4 times as expensive when new? It's just a whole different category and no one should even be comparing the ZL1 to any of these AMG cars...it's just not a fair comparison.

BTW- Awesome buy...I jealous.
