Default New ZR1

I have the fever for a 2013 ZR1. Been looking hard at a black one. Anyone here have a new one and can tell me their experience? Trying to show restraint but dear wife says "go ahead.". She's not helping!

Your right. Hard to pull trigger. No dealership will let you test drive, so looking for experiences here.

Ok I'll give you one. They're awesome. And thats just all there is to it. I have three friends who have the and one let me take his for a spin. You'd have to get an LPE 415 to beat it. But if ypu can afford a 2013C6 ZR1 then you can probably afford to send it to LPE and nothing will touch it.

True. Just torques my a** that I can't drive one. Then there's the whole Obamamobile subject but that's a whole other topic. LOL! Thanks

If I was a serious buyer and a dealer would not let me test drive it with a salesman.....I'd smile and walk out the door with my checkbook in hand.

If you are a serious buyer and they won't let you test drive it? I wouldn't consider buying from them.

There are some serious deals on "new" 2011 and 2012 ZR1's.... (not much difference between a 2011 thru 2013.

I've driven a few new ZR1's and they are unreal performance machines! No disappointments!!!!!!

Don't even consider a car unless you are getting at least $15k off sticker.

Good luck and enjoy!

David

The US gov't, not President Obama, owns a minority share (26%) of GM. That means that 74% of GM is owned by others who are not the US gov't. I'm also not trying to be political, just accurate.
