I love the ZLE wing but you absolutely need the car that goes with it.

Coming from a GTI I don't notice the interior, but I also have a 2SS 1LE so it's got Recaros and a nicer interior than an SS.

Agree on the wing, but again, 17 y/o. Surprised to you can actually get the ZL1 package on the 6cyl. I did the 4 piston brembos in front for him. He wants to sell it in the spring and get an 8cyl. Found this on carfax, pretty much exactly what I built online, but 22k miles on a '20. https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/1G1F...O-9uZ0_OyqMWf0PN1Taa5qykPL1qCjsQehN8uwejjXKE8
That's what I see as being the new price for this car. If it was they'd have my money already.

You can't. The ZL1 is the supercharged 8cyl. The ZLE is the supercharged 8cyl with the Track Package. If they come down under 60ish it'll be my next car. The '16-18 ZLE is an absolute monster.

My friend Timmy just bought a new 1LE. He came up to Summit and we did some loops around the res. I was surprised at how much smaller the 6 is compared to a 5. My car is like a foot wider.

Never seen these cars put together....yours is way better looking.....too much door, too little window on the new ones....plus that front end just looks odd

I like the first Gen6 front end. '16 is so dope.

My son has a 6. I love the 6 and want one. A new 2ss speced how I want it comes out to almost $53k. I drove one last week. I like everything about it except the price. As much as I love the styling in and out and the performance, and it fits me well, it looks and feels cheap inside. It's just not a $53k feeling car. At that price point (ok $5k more but in the range) I want a Lexus RC 350 F-Sport awd or a BMW M440. I haven't been able to find either local yet to drive. Ledgewood has an m4 with executive pkg for $79k, but I won't spend that on a dd, my pockets aren't that deep.
My kids’ gen6. Don’t be too hard on him, at least he’s getting into cars. Some of the add ons, like the splitter and side skirts are really nice. The wing and canards not so much imho.

At least it's not a Civic. And I hate canards, but at least those blend in on the body lines a bit.

Recaros are a comfy place to wait for the tow truck courtesy of the Virginia State Police.

Tuesday I was at Princeton Porsche for an annual inspection and oil service. Today I was at Fullerton Chrysler for an oil change (coupon; $45 for full synthetic). The differences were obviously astouding and laughable. As were the costs. I'll post up later when I have the time.

CRUISE

@Magic is requesting a cruise this weekend as a final sendoff for 2021. Any interest? Best weather looks like Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. It will be more mellow as cold temps don't make for confident handling with Cup 2s.

What say you?

I took a part time job. Driving, security for people more important than me. Hopefully the vehicles are always this cool.

Day 1

Will keep you in mind when I'm looking for a security detail. Are you armed during the drive?

Generally it's up to me. But would you drive a $100K RR into a urban environment without a weapon (if you could lawfully carry a weapon)?

I avoid urban environments in general, but carry when I'm there regardless. And at walmart. Always at walmart.
