What Other Vehicle Do YOU have?

Thank you. Your wife still has good taste. I had a tear in my eye when my wife called me after her test drive in the ZL1 and said, "Don't laugh at me. I want one!" That was after her adamantly telling me no the day before. Now, when she drives it, she constantly talks about how fast it is. She was never into cars or power before. I think she's hooked now. There's a possibility that once your wife gets behind the wheel of a beast, she'll realize that the big motor and all that power isn't a "need", but rather it's just an exhilarating feeling. It may take a little while, but you can show her the way.

My wife has had no speeding tickets or accidents. I imagine she'll get a speeding ticket or two now. Just hoping she stays accident free.
I loved hearing my wife say, "I was just cruising on the interstate, then I looked down and saw I was doing 90! It didn't feel like 90!" (She has since adjusted the Heads Up Display so she can read it.)

I agree. That's definitely still a good bit of power out of that car. Hell, the '08 F150 I recently traded was a V8 with 300 hp. It's crazy what they can squeeze out of a V6 now. I know her car is definitely fast enough to get her in just a little trouble with police.

Nice cars! Not only did you have one, but you had two. WTF??? Lol! About 18 yrs ago I had an '81 Regal that we dropped a 350 chevy into. That sucker was fast. But, that car was sacrificed when I needed more space for the kids.

Oh yeah, I couldn't believe how much power it had when we test drove it. I wasn't expecting it considering the V6. I love driving it. It corners like it's on rails and it still turns a lot of heads. This generation Camaro is one the best cars GM has ever produced IMO.
