Yeah to be honest. I was looking at 09-12 model GTR’s . I know of the transmission issues and until 2014+ they finally make 545 crank hp. To me , this doesn’t justify the 60-75k price tag. As such the 09-12 models making 480-485 crank hp. Doesn’t justify 48-55k.

I am probably going to sale the Z soon and get a 2012-2013 ZL1 for 28-31k.

Even a 2016 + ZL1 for 50k that puts out 640. Hellcats are mid 40’s now and 707 crank hp...

I’ve loved GTR’s a long time. But I can’t justify spending 50k for 480 crank hp.... When I can spend 30k and have 580 crank and 5 bolt on's + tune and be at 600+ WHEEL hp.. ZL1 have Alcantara dashes and steering wheels, center seats, leather, stitching, etc. I mean for a Chevy, some nice features. I’ve sat in GTR’s and they don’t seem as “nice” as I thought you'd get. My 12 touring/sport feels more luxurious with the stitching, leather/suede seats, etc... I think my “omg GTR” has gotten to me. And I’m coming to reality. The GTR just isn’t what I thought it was
