Exterior size, the car is too big dimension wise in my opinion.
It definitely feels like a big car when you're inside the cockpit. Can't argue with that.

The ZL1 or the SS?

I test drove the SS for fun and left the drive with the same impression you just expressed regarding the visibility and "feel" of the car.

Surprisingly, the CTS-V offered a similar feeling. The acceleration was undoubtedly brutal but the car didn't feel as fast as it should because its hefty weight dulled a bit of that visceral sensation of speed I was yearning for when considering the V.

I imagine the raw power of the ZL1 would make one focus less on the visibility and size concerns.
