ZL1 or Z/28

I am looking at trading in my 12 SS and have a couple of choices

15 Z/28 w/582 miles
13 ZL1 w/5000 miles

They are within $1000 of each other

Which would you choose?

Thanks

The Z28, for all practical purposes, is brand new... But it has very few amenities that make daily driving more enjoyable... the creature comforts... But man ol' man it's a 427!!! You won't go wrong either way... Look at Maintenance costs too, ceramic brakes are $$$

Hardcore -- Z/28

Metrosexual == ZL1 for the creature comforts

For hardcore tracking no camaro is better than the Z28, but it less practical for every day driving.
The ZL1 for a bit of everything: daily driving, some track or some 1/4 mile and a ton more of confort with the magnetic adjustable shocks. But you said that the price is almost the same, then the Z28 would be a real bargain. Retail of a new Z28, always was above 10-15 K more than a ZL1.
Enjoy your new toy.
