Which would you choose? New ZL1 or new GT350?

Funny how you never hear anybody say that about automatics.
The GT350 is carrying over unchanged into the 2018 model year.
If it's a standard GT350, I'd rather opt for the ZL1. The ZL1 is faster and [probably] handles better. If you were talking about the R, well... Check the sig.
I wish I could get the R. Too expensive. Besides, I would have a heart attack worrying about those wheels.
Lol my first plan if I bought an R is to find a separate set of wheels and tires, and put the carbon ones somewhere safe until I sell the car.
Do we even know how well the zl1 performs? There is still question about the 29 ring time. Rumors around Detroit says the oem zl1 would not run that time or even come close.
But $60k pony cars were also not the norm.
Listen, we're not gonna do this shit in my thread like you do in every damn Ford vs Chevy thread. Give it a rest.
I'd buy a used C7Z or C6ZR1 over the above you've listed. I've bought used for years (let somebody else pay the mark up) and have never had an issue with my vehicles (that's for all the I would never buy a used performance vehicle folks). I bought my "used" C7Z with 1500 miles on it for example.
for that kind of money, ZL1 hands down...
I will say it depends, most Corvette guys really take care of their cars. The guy I bought my Z06 from owned a flooring business, he parked it on carpet in his garage, lol, car was immaculate. I would say this is par for the course with most Corvette owners that I have met. I definitely prefer private party on used vehicles, unless its a really low mile car <10K miles, then a dealership is fine.
The ZL1 will outperform any mustang built thus so far stock vs stock period. The "2018 GT500" is what exactly?
I've currently got 15K miles on my C7Z brother. I daily drive it because it gives me a rush that med's cannot.
it's viagra for the soul!
You guys are worrying about it too much. It's really not that big a deal. The paint is laid on pretty thick. If you get some curb rash, provided it's not all the way down to the CF weave, you can just have the damaged section(s) repainted. As long as you have some wheel locks (which I need to get), I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure you take care not to curb your normal wheels. The same care should/would be taken with these. If you do wind up smashing a wheel, oh well, that's what insurance is for.
I have considered a used Z06. Prices are still more then I'm willing to spend. Besides, If I were to go the used route, I would want a fully loaded one which are still in the mid to high $70K range. But trust me, I drool over the new Z06.
I am a Mustang fanboi but I must say that this generation Camaro>Mustang.
It was a honest question.
I did give my thoughts earlier in the thread. I did list the zl1 and c7z.
Test drive both of them. That is the only way to truly know. Personally, I didn't consider the ZL1 because I felt it looks bland. I did test drive a GT350, and holy smokes, was it amazing. You really need to drive both cars in order to make a decision.
