Do you plan to buy a 2012 ZL1?

Okay, I am curious...

Do you plan to buy a ZL1?

Assumptions:
  1. It will have everything that is stated to date.
  2. It will not be 200 lbs heavier than the current 2010-2011 Camaro SS
  3. It will be between $40,000 and $50,000 USD (sticker price, not including dealer markup...which should be avoided...taxes, etc.)

You nailed my situation Jason.

(a) Wife says I need to sell at least one of my three Camaros, possibly two.
(b) I'm in line for two-possible promotions, if I get one of them, 90% chance I'll get a ZL1, provided (a) happens, and its priced under $50k.

Alternative scenario: purchase a used 2010-11 RS and upgrade later to either a used ZL1 or a 2013* Camaro Z/28.

*note: 2013 will be the 45th anniversary of Mark Donohue's historic Trans Am championship when he won 10 of 13 races in the Penske/Sunoco Camaro Z/28.

I wish I had the cash. Maybe they will have volt-like lease prices?

Same here. Rogue is my baby and I am not sure I can give her up anytime soon.

I also hesitate because that is a LOT of power. I don't get on the race track and while I get they designed it for everyday driving too I am not sure I can justify having that much under the hood to go to Target.

there is no such thing as "too much under the hood to go to Target"

Re: Do you plan to buy a 2012 ZL1?

i am in between 2 of the choices. i do plan on getting another camaro after my SS is paid off, but i plan on keeping my SS. but i also want, what i hope will be, the Z28. as long as it is similar to the boss 302. essentially a street legal track car. i will probably wait for the 6th gen alpha platform also.

Ok, I'll grant you that - Maybe I should have added without getting tickets and being the sole funder of the GPD annual budget...

I can't pay to play in this game. Maybe in 10 years when I find a used one.

Re: Do you plan to buy a 2012 ZL1?

Voted no. OnStar is the deal-breaker.
I would be VERY interested if I could get it without OnStar, only 200lbs heavier than the SS, and cost low to mid 40s.

^ Yeah, I wish that was an option too. I got into the rental once and went to move the mirror and accidentally called. I don't need it.
