Not something to be considered for an inexperienced driver. Excellent engineering, brakes and handling! Still this coupe is a 4000 pound automobile; if you want to enjoy it you should have a reasonably good mix of track and drag strip experience to appreciate the power,handling and the refinement that was built into this automobile. Just because it's fast doesn't mean you have to violate most all state laws it's perfectly agreeable as a good Highway Cruiser as well. One trip down I-35 into Texas yielded an amazing 24.8 miles per gallon between 70 and 80 miles an hour, outstanding achievement for a supercharged 580 horsepower 6.2 L V8. Of course your mileage may vary, in town fuel mileage just nothing to brag about. Mostly my mileage has been from 10 to 15 miles per gallon in City traffic. When asked why at age 65 I purchased this yellow and black factory muscle car my answer is simple: It is FUN ! 25K Update 12/14/19: Just keeping to the recommended maintenance has resulted in a almost trouble free ride. Have tweaked the engine and tires (295 frt. & 325 rear) to add an extra slice of performance. Short tube headers, Corsica exhaust system, Fuel injectors changed from 56lb. per hour to 88lb. per hour, colder plugs, 160 degree t/stat, overdrive Harmonic Balancer Kit, 5% Overdrive Balancer Pulley, Supercharger Pulley Hub, 2.55 8 Rib 10 Bolt Pulley, full retune via dynamometer. Still running a mostly stock air intake due to Arizona dust, nothing filters better than OEM performance filters. HP is now over 600+ to the rear wheels. Lost a little fuel mileage but got a nice gain in horsepower/torque. I added a front proximity sensor to avoid parking berms, Clear front bra to protect from rock chips, LED headlights, back up lights, tail lights, flashing circuit to 3rd brake light, LED interior lighting. All work except retuning performed by myself, I am a retired ASE certified Heavy Equipment mechanic.

This is the 5th summer I have driven the ZL-1, highway onramps are so much fun!!! Usually have to brake when I get to the highway if there is any traffic. I test drove the Camaro SS, and Mustang GTs (before they went to independent suspension) and the Camaros handled so much better, and the ZL-1 is head and shoulders faster than the others. Everyone complains about the visibility out of the Camaros, easy solution = get a convertible!! Never an issue with being able to see anything. 5 hour trip on the highway got me 18 mpg, both tanks, normal city driving averages 13mpg, but that is not why you buy this car. It is fast and fun, and looks fantastic!! Just started having a couple electrical issues; backup camera a few days ago was solid blue instead of camera view, and passenger window did not go down when lowering the convertible top. Both problems only infrequently, but hadn't had these happen until this summer. Anyone else have these problems??
not the car i was looking for but it is the one i

. I fell in love with this platform with the 2004 GTO ,and general motors has refined it into a monster (muscle car or super car ? ) Hands down the most refined in its class at nearly 600 bhp the vehicle accelerates and corners with some of the worlds top performance cars while still retaining a retro muscle car styling from the 60's.. 0-60 is 3.9 seconds electronically limited to 184 mph with rpm left to spare , and...99- G on a 300 ft skid pad 3.5 years later. I still own the car and i love it as much as i did when i first got it . I still own the car now 5 years later and still in love with it .The only complaint i have is some of the plastic trim in the car hasnt held up as well as i hoped it would
