Contemplating buying a 2013 zl1 for my wife as a xmas present. pros and cons

[GNBRETT]

Totally agree! well said! at 700 whp who give shit what the new Camaro is capable of cause at 700 whp on a Mustang dyno is dam near 800 whp on a dynojet (which most of the world uses) and therefore she will spank anything she comes up on.

I rented one and yea its tight to see but so is the 13 Dodge Charger I drive at work every day and after a few days driving its like any other car when trying to back up. u adapt!

yea their a little heavy no doubt but at 700 whp who gives a rats ass!

I jus noticed u bought it for her. wow good for you thats a hellova Xmas present wow!

I see a lot of silly responses. Mostly guys that have had no REAL experience with a 5th gen camaro, much less a 700 RWHP, magneride suspension monster.

Take my completely unbiased opinion, from a current 14' Shelby owner and a previous 5th gen camaro owner. 5th gens are great cars. You will find mostly soccer moms and millennials complaining about "visibility". Lol. It really is a non-issue. Like everything else, you learn it and adapt to it.

At 700rwhp, she will literally have no issues whooping 98% of vehicles on the road. The other 2% will likely be dedicated gear heads with modded cars or exotic owners.

Even owning the baddest highway monster Ford has offered to date, I still miss my 5th gen camaro very much.

That is an eye opener. I don't think I would buy that for myself but I do think it looks nice. Might be something I would get over owning after awhile.

Nice family. That’s a great gift.

On a side note I’m buying my wife a refrigerator.

Buying mine an ironing board, vacuum, and some new frying pans.



Nice work OP!

honestly this is the car she keeps mentioning. i got my gt350 and its fairly well modded. this car is more her style and she likes the chevy stuff. im not a huge fan but i can appreciate anything that moves out and handles like that.

Be grateful she's a car enthusiast. Get it for her if she wants it. No point in getting her a car that's faster than yours....

Hahaha! I hope my wife doesn't see this thread (or look at this forum at all...), she's getting bathroom tile for Christmas.
