Yes they all are driven for test, that's why they did not make them in winter.

Congrats car looks a awesome, I remember when the ZL1's press release came out. A number of readers posted on C5 that they were hoping the ZL1 would be named a Z28. They also wanted it to be lighter and the 427 engine, perhaps the readers had some influence on some of the final features of the Z28. Of course MSRP will place it beyond the majority of most. Be careful what you wish for, if I had not purchased the ZL1 already I would of had to make a difficult choice between the two. Enjoy!

Donuts in the parking lot, perhaps?

That is what my problem is now. I am a drag racer at heart but the Z28 with the breaks and 427 I could not pass on. I really do not need both cars but I like the ZL1 better. The put allot in the ZL1 for road course not know the Z28 will come out. There is a cross between the 2 of them. If to do all over they could have made the ZL1 more drag car.

I'm praying it's because the manual Recaros sit lower in the car. Need all the headroom I can get!

I think you nailed it. Skylane has 'em both side by side; maybe he can confirm that.

The clutch much softer than the ZL1
Hood not as high as ZL1
Way way stiffer suspension
No back sensors
Less power than ZL1
You can tell its way lighter than the ZL1
But it does not look lower that much side by side.
Defiantly needs the splitter guard washers with splitter so low.
Sound better than the ZL1 at idle
The breaks make this car! They the cats meow
Like riding in a truck
Splitter should not be shinny
