Curious, why only 23+? AFAIK, the options are identical from 21+, only difference is color options. In fact, the PDR shortages make later models less optioned in many cases.

Had both. Tracked both. First a ZL1 A10, then a ZLE M6.

The A10 is faster; no question. It is also remarkable in its ability to find the right gear 95% of the time.

It also runs much hotter-...

Looks like you're running ~2:25-2:27’s. Thats fast, but Cayman GT4 is faster.

My 2019 ZLE does the same thing, but goes to 85+ with 15w50. I did a lot of research, found that there are two camps: normal with the variable pumps, or sign of pending doom.

I’m a huge fan of the simplicity of the Apex Pro. The community vibe is awesome, as you can share data between cellphones. Also had OBD2 integration and video capture (uses your cell camera).

You could probably get away with 1 bottle SRF, but I’d order 2 just in case. First time I flushed, I used 1.5, second time I only used 1.0, and kept the 2nd as a spare.

You’ve gotten good advice on the rear alignment. I will say that if you follow the torque procedure and use new bolts, the stock stuff slips less. Also highly dependent on your curb use.

I’ve had ZLE and ZL1. Tye ZL1 is actually more close to your SS1LE than it is to the ZLE.

I would not add power to your SS1LE. If you want to go faster, I would instead go with ZLE wheels, and...
