I'm old school, grew up in the 1960s when Mustangs, Torinos, Camaro, Corvette, Chevelle, and Dodge 426 Hemis ruled the streets.I keep hearing the ZL1 is beastly ridiculously fast. Most reviewers online say its too fast for public roads, LOL. Did you drive it? Wonder what your impressions were.
I like the SS 1LE, a very balanced car. I really wish they fixed the visibility and ergonomics, space etc.
So, I'm very biased towards American cars.
With that said my Daily Driver is a Lexus sedan.
IMHO the Camaro SS 1LE is the best bang for the buck today. Car handles great, amazingly smooth, tons of torque off the line, great Tremec trans, etc...
The ZL1 ILE spins in every gear, very traction limited. Plus you burn thru very expensive tires, better have a lot of money set aside if you drive it a lot.
I'm buying 2 cars in the next 18 months.
Corvette C8 Z06 is almost a given. Want to see the looks and performance first. If not, then I'll buy the C8 Z51.
My 2nd choice is a Mustang. Really want the Shelby GT350 (probably non R). I'm leaning now towards a 2020 model or 2021 if it's still around. The engine issues worry me though. I'm keeping this car forever and will hand down to my son 10-15+ years from now.
The C8 has No Manual for now, which sucks.
So that's why I'm leaning towards the GT350 which will give me satisfaction driving a stick.
If the GT500 offered a Manual then I would go that route.
