Yes hate to say it but when you start putting 600+ HP at the wheel a auto or manumatic/ paddle shifter is the only way to go to harness the power effectively.
Didn't take Ferrari or Lamborghini long to come to the same conclusion and hence why they are strictly this.
It's nice to have a manual option but don't come crying and saying that tired old excuse of I missed a shift or gear, or you constantly see taillights, because you picked the inferior option over a similar vehicle with the auto option. like these new ZL-1's

Very nice man!
Congrats and enjoy.
Got her washed up. There is no evidence of wax on the car and some moderate water spots on the hood, trunk, and roof. The body panel gaps are really good. A polish and wax weekend is in my near future. I'm really impressed with the car so far.
Looks pretty bad ass man!
Any plans to mod, or leave it be till the warranty goes away?
I die a little every time I say it, but damn that car looks good.
There is so much to learn on this car that I plan to keep it stock for awhile. I really eased into the Cobra mods after the trailblazers had figured everything out. I didn't pulley the car until 2007.
There were only 3000 ZL1's sold in 2017, so there aren't many of them out there. The good news is that GM isn't like Ford and will continue to build them as long as there is demand.
Unfortunately the "tech" savy level over at Camaro 6 isn't close to what it is on this forum. 50% of the info is wrong.
The exhaust sounds good, but with the adjustable settings you could make it louder. The Borla systems are cool, but break the bank (think half a VMP blower).
Cold air intakes = 15-20 RWHP, so I may bite.
The bottom line is that this car is low 11 second capable under the right conditions and drives like a damn Cadalliac. The ZL1 guys aren't modding their cars, because they are already "there" for 90% of the gearhead population.

Just to add, I've got similar feelings to this car as I did when I took posession of the Cobra. I plan to drive it and drive it hard. It isn't going to be worth anything when I'm done with it and that's ok.
The Cobra may be worth something someday and I'm holding onto it.

Yeah,...that's my gripe with Ford and the GT500. Build as many as people want. Don't limit them. I understand it being one of their top dog cars, but still.
What cai are you referring to getting the 15-20rwhp? Is it Roto-Fab? Also is that with a tune or without a tune? (I know they have 2 versions iirc.)
CAI doesn't require a tune, the cars run super rich from the factory. I haven't researched all my options yet. I haven't done a WOT run in the car yet, only 60 miles! 
You can probaly look online at the interior better. The seats are Recaro's but feel like lazy boys and have heating and cooling. The power adjustment was surprisingly wide and was one of the reasons I bought the car. I was able to get a "hybrid" seating position that didn't make me feel like I was dragging my ass on the ground. Go drive an SS 1LE, you probably don't even have to be that serious to get them let you test drive.
Interior review at the 3:25 mark. Ignore the track stuff at the end, since it is a fluff piece that is mainly footage from a SS, not a ZL1.
Which dealership?
I " assumed" was your first mistake
I have a 5gen. And there's not that much difference in interior space. I'm over 6 foot. And have PLENTY of room in the car
Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet. They were easy to deal with and treated me right. Salesman was Jason Wick. He has a new 2018 SS Camaro and wasn't the typical Cobalt Salesforce. He took more pictures of the car than I did when it arrived!
Hendrick Chevrolet in Monroe is getting a similar car into inventory any day. Build configuration attached.
Only CAI worth buying would be the Roto-Fab.
You going to take to this to Cars & Coffee in January???
