    I have a "Replacement" vehicle!

    Yes, after some deliberation, I have replaced our GTSR with a ZL1. The lure of the LT4 was just too much.
    Having said that the GTSR was a magnificent drive, we had some good times in her, hopefully the ZL1 will live up to expectations!
    It'a white auto.

    Yes I read it is white, that's why I posted "Love the white"

    Bet you can't wait!

    Look forward to seeing pictures & hearing your thoughts on comparisons between the cars.

    I actually can't imagine Pickles going too crazy with mods.

    He has posted about quite a number of gorgeous cars which he has owned over the past few years,

    he has really looked after all them but I have not heard of him doing any performance modifications to any of them.

    There wouldn't be too many modding a 6.2L VVT/DOD/SC engine at any rate.

    I keep on having a chuckle over the thread title, not many people would call the ZL1 just a "Replacement" vehicle!

    Re: I have a "Replacement" vehicle!

    Well, there is a change of plans. After announcing that I will own a ZL1, I now will not. I will keep the GTSR.
    Reason?..Well really it was just simply a change of mind. The ZL1 is a weapon, the deal was good, I was visualizing 477KW, 881Nm & what that would be like with a 10sp auto, but for this sort of thing one has to be 100% committed, & I guess I wasn't, so I changed my mind.

    That's very understandable Martin.

    I am sure that it would be really hard to walk away from your GTSR & never sadly look back.

    What price were they going to let it go for out of interest?
