Default More For The Money! More Fun for The Money!!

Bought a 2016 Mercedes GTS last year and was a great car for the track, however it ended up being a buy back by Mercedes. For the price of the GTS, I bought a Z06 and a Camaro ZL1 and to be honest I think both are far superior to the GTS. I always said the GTS was over rated and over priced. I know this is a Corvette site, but the ZL1 is much more fun to drive as a daily driver.

Very nice! I'm looking at picking up a zl1 myself! I'm reading all kinds of good things about them. Did you get the a10 or a manual?

I bought a 2017 ZL1 convertible 6 speed and disliked the continuous shifting and hated it in traffic, people pull up so close and feared rolling backwards. The dealer that sold me the Z06 had the Black A10 coupe that came in a few days later and was able to make a good trade. Automatic is the only way to go any much more enjoyable. pic of the convertible. Thanks

Just a clarification-you meant for you the automatic is the only way to go. Its not that way for me.

Regardless of my dour comment-you have 2 really nice machines. Enjoy.

Lucky man to have such nice cars.

I'm 68 and still shifting-will be shifting until I physically cannot and I will rue the day that happens. So yes an automatic will be in my future-- hopefully sometime in my 80s-preferably late 80s.

Nice cars!

The new ZL1 must be an amazing car because everyone does nothing but rave about them.
