  2. What kind of seats does it have?
    Reply

    Settle into the sport inspired Recaro seats with suede inserts for a totally comfortable ride while cruising around town. When the pedal is put to the metal, side bolsters help to keep the driver and passenger firmly in their place. Sculpted sides allow for better arm movement when reaching for the suede-wrapped shifter. The flat-bottomed steering wheel has a smaller circumference for more precise movement in the corners.

  3. There's a convertible, right?
    Reply

    Yes, there is. With the press of a button, the soft top slides into its storage area underneath a hard tonneau cover that is color-keyed to the body panels. The top can be raised or lowered while the vehicle is traveling up to 30 mph. Never stop on the side of the road when a cloud is spotted. Beautifully sculpted, the convertible has a sleek and powerful profile that speaks of the power under the hood.

    This one rumbles! The 6.2L LT4 V8 engine is capable of a mind-numbing 650 horsepower and max 650 foot pounds of torque. Capable of leaping off the line or maintaining top speed for hours on end, this motor is meant for the business of burning up the track. Carefully crafted exhaust ensures the pilot can enjoy the sound of a performance engine without disturbing the neighbors. The updated ZL1 beat the previous generation's lap time at Nurburgring by 12 seconds, completing the grueling circuit in 7 minutes 29 seconds.

  6. Manual or automatic transmission?
    Reply

    Make your choice! The automatic 10-speed transmission can be used as a manual through steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. Or select the 6-speed manual transmission with suede wrapped shifter when all the control needs to be left in the hands of the driver.

  7. The grille is really chunky looking. Is there a reason for that?
    Reply

    The new matte-black grille is all business. The enlarged bottom splitter diverts air around the vehicle, not under, for better traction. Hollowed mesh increases air intake into the engine, while the carbon fiber hood air extractor eliminates it from the compartment. Even the Chevy bowtie has been hollowed out for best possible performance.

  8. Can it be taken to the drag strip?
    Reply

    Absolutely. Custom Launch Control allows the driver to reach maximum RPM while controlling wheel slippage to increase power of the launch from the line. Able to achieve 0 to 60 in just 3.5 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 11.4, the driver will be collecting more trophies than ever before.
