Thank for sharing the MSN article. Both the 5th Gen and 6th Gen ZL1's are a reliable car from the factory, and a beast on both the street and the track.

If a used ZL1 comes without CPO, we would...

So can we make an umbrella assumption that all Z28's made after that (2013, 2014, 2015 model years) are free of the dropped valve issue?

I have a similar one, Michelin PSAS3+ on my other car (Evo) in 275 width. They are truly amazing in providing a quiet and tamed ride.

Great inputs here and nice to hear the Ohlins work. I should for sure try a set of more streetable tires (Michelin PS4S or PSAS3+) before messing with the suspension. Z28 belongs to the roads, not a...

I know, right? To us humans it's never truly a mistake if you learn. I hope every driver who involved in accidents grow out of it to a better life.

Anyone experienced both stock Multimatic DSSV and Ohlins DFV? How do they compare?

Both are supposed to be very advanced struts, with the Ohlins allow adjustability. I would be very interested to hear any first-hand experience that compares them.:character0109:

I agree. I also think GM's marketing missed a little. They targeted track day junkies too much for the Z/28. Meanwhile, Ford's marketing correctly marketed their GT350/GT350R simply as a very special...

^Exactly this. The way Z/28 performs is nothing short of a supercar. It takes on GT-R's and 911's, so what not to love at such a stealing price?:thumbup:

Wow! Note the orange double-stripe on the fender. Is that the same test mule as the 6th generation ZL1 mule?

Agreed. The OP also picked a great colour for the Z/28. :clap2:

May as well consider sound insulation (Dynamat type of stuff), so the audio will sound a lot better on road trips.:thumbsup:

I wouldn't complain about the $75k MSRP if Team Camaro put a supercharged LS9 engine in it. The LS9 has a much stronger block, longger distance between cylinders, and a reliable valvetrain.
