What a waste of what started as a nice car.

I believe the most obvious thing is that it's a convertible, and to my knowledge, only the 2013 ZL1 is offered as a convertible.

This link has some factual information that the builder shared: Three Things You Didn't Know About The Gold 'King ZL1' Camaro | Rides Magazine

Info from the site:
"#2 - It’s not a ZL1, it’s an SS cloned to resemble a ZL1. That being said, we can go ahead and cancel out 50 percent of the genius posts on sites like Jalopnik and Camaro5 where the prolific bloggers so eloquently describe how a limited production future collector car has been desecrated. It’s a new school Chevy with cheap plastic and a nice motor, not a classic First Gen with a numbers-matching drive train."

Well since it wasn't really a ZL1, I love the car now. The most awesome car I've ever seen.

End of sarcasm.

I don't care if it was the base model V6. I still don't like it.
