I would have aftermarket wheels and tires for the street with the Z/28.

Not a fan of the stock wheels anyway.

On the Goodyear site, it has the ZL1 OEM tire MSRP at like $590. I'm sure they'll be able to be had for cheaper

The Trofeos are extremely rare, so I don't think we'll see a huge price drop on them.

I thought the turn signals were the DRLs on non RS cars?

No. The actual lights are the DRLs. I think

Yes, the actual headlights are on as DRL's on non-RS cars (like mine), and presumably the 2014 Z/28s.

The DRL are separate...just inboard of the headlight.

Yep. And you better use them only on track days. If someone uses these tires on the street, they might get 3000 miles out of them.
