It's all personal preference but for what it is, I find the ZL1 extremely impressive. It would certainly abuse an F30 335i around the track all day. The cons with the ZL1 are: lackluster interior; poor visibility.

I have driven a new Camaro. The driving position, visibility is a down right deal breaker. You never get a sense for where the car is around you and what's around the car. I put about 500 miles on one back in '10.

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.

The reason I ask is because I saw a video review/comparison the other day that pitted the ZL1 against the Shelby GT500. In another video the ZL1 faced off with the Boss 302. In each comparison, the ZL1 came out on top. I think it was the GT500 (rather than the 302) that ultimately lost because it was done after one lap. The brakes were toast and the car was running hot (causing it to lose power, etc.). The driver (an actual race car driver and not a car magazine writer/blogger) complimented the ZL1 for its ability to continue to run strong for the entirety of its testing session. It's only one review/data point but it led me to believe that the ZL1 actually was a legitimate track car.

The Boss 302 is a real track car and the only thing holding it back is the solid rear axle. The GT500 is a muscle car nothing more. In a straight line it eats the ZL1 in the corners it's the opposite. But I don't judge a car based on peak lap times alone. That's why the M3 and Cayman are two of my favorite. |

It was test and tune. Not racing just testing. But I still got him.
