Secondary question- did you test drive or ride in one previous to buying it? And last question- with the market as it is, how did you test drive one for those that did? I am in DFW, which I would assume would be one of the more concentrated areas of owners/seller, but there aren't any close for sale. Closest one was sold before it made it to the weekend. Thanks in advance!

Honestly, I was in the market for a 6th gen 1LE. All the bells and whistles with recaros, 6 pot brembos, more aggressive gearing etc... I drove a regular 6th gen SS, a Z51 Stingray, and then my Z. The first 2 cars were definitely more refined, but I just enjoyed driving the Z better. Now that I have modded mine and a lot of stuff has broke from just a mere 593rwhp, I do wish I had bought a ZL1. Its got a much beefier trans, diff, axles, and drive shaft. They're also cheaper, so could be ripped the puny blower off and gone twin turbo with a solid fuel system and upgraded the suspension to handle like a Z/28 with the money i have invested in fixing valve guides, replacing broken drive train parts and throwing boost at it.
