GM did a very good job on it. Lots of people have knocked GM's reliability. It is mostly a thing of the past. I did not own a domestic vehicle from 93 to 05. I leased all my vehicles, so in that time frame I drove a lot of different non domestic brands: Volvo, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Infiniti, and Honda to name some of them. Since 05 I've drove 1 Dodge (Magnum with Hemi), 1 Saturn (Sky Redline), 2 GMC's (Acadia, Terrain both wife's cars). The only issue I've had with anything other than the Sky was a Nav issue with the Terrain which is Pioneer's fault. GM replaced the head unit with no problem. The Sky had several issues but was also a first year release. I guess what I'm saying is I've had no more issues with the domestic vehicles than I had with the non domestic vehicles. People need to move on.
That comparo made ZERO sense to me. Of course a car with 130hp more would pull ahead in the straights. The best comparo will be when it competes with the GT500 which is in the ZL1's price/class range. I've heard that Ford has tweaked the suspension up a bit (electronically adjustable Bilstein yada yada yada), the SLA complaint is null and void. Have you seen the new GT500 btw? Looks waaaay more impressive IMHO.
