The whole key here is actually getting a test ride by yourself. Koons at Tysons came through with a dark green ZL-1 Automatic. The salesman hands me the keys and said he was busy with another customer. At Country at Warrenton, I had to have a salesman with me. It was a white 6 speed with "ALL" the options. I felt much more in control in selecting the gear I wanted. Then again at Koons Tysons Dodge, I had to have this crazy salesman with me and black key only. Kind of drove like a new 1972 440 CHP car of Blues Brothers vintage.I'd still look at a Roush Stage 3 before I'd buy a GT500 or ZL1. I've seen Stage 3's for close to $10k under sticker price, If you know how to deal you can probably do better yet. You won't find a GT500 close to that price, and a Mach 1 is almost as much with a couple hundred less hp! I'd buy a Stage 2 Roush over the Mach 1. I looked at a 750hp Stage 3 for $73k. At least $25k more for the cheapest GT500 near me. Mach 1's near me are $5-10k over sticker. A Corvette 3LZ by me is $30k over sticker!
