Thanks Cliff and Canadian... yes, it was very hard. I felt the cars I narrowed it down to were the best of what's out there. I wasn't shy to spend money on a car, but running costs played a part.
I didn't get a ZL1 for one single reason. When I drove the Z06, it was so wicked fast, it would take the fun out of daily driving it. 60 comes before the car can react to speed. The SS handling to power ratio is amazing and I think the 550HP n/a sweetspot will be more than enough power.
I just didn't want a track day only car. The SS fit the mold.
Nobody asked but I thought I'd add. Lol.
Running reviews WILL COME SOON.
