I passed on the 1LE because after thinking about what
Rent Free said, I would miss having a factory boosted car after having a few. And I was still on the lookout for another camaro. And the sweetheart of all sweetheart deals landed in my lap.
I SCORED, and I mean scored a brand new 2021 Shock color ZL1 a10. The car was part of the GM pep program and was mainly used as a display car at car shows and nascar races and whatnot. It had 188 miles. The car was in service on 1/1/21, so its a tad over a year old, but the dealer tossed in a 5yr/75k bumper to bumper warranty that starts today. Not when the factory warranty started since it was not ever titled.
The car is like 9/10 perfect. Im not going to lie. It needs a paint correction. You've all been to the auto show and seen all the cleaning crews constantly walking around dusting and wiping down the cars all day. Now times that over a year, the car has some decent paint damage/imperfections. Mainly spider scratches basically everywhere. And tons of hard water spots.
Nothing a real paint correction can't fix. So what happened was I started looking for ZL1's on the chevy locator because I knew I wanted one and not the SS in the end. And when I pulled up the page, I accidentally hit 2021 instead of 2022. And this ONE CAR popped. It was the color I always wanted but is now discontinued.
I called yesterday morning and worked out the deal on my trade and the financing over the phone. Salesman said they had another guy kicking it around to put down a deposit, but since I was first and had an approved deal, it was mine. So today 5am I hopped in the hellcat and drove it 400 miles to get the ZL1. Got there around lunchtime. Signed papers and hit the road back. Just got home. Car has 699 miles on it now.
Its a complete BEAST like the 18 I had was. But this one has all the newest goodies that came in on the 19+ cars. Plus the color, awe man its my favorite. This was a no compromise deal. They matched the trade number I was getting for it for the 1LE deal and I got the ZL1 for well under invoice including that warranty. Im into this car for stripper SS money. On to the pics.
