Electric dampers don't necessarily mean active, like ZL1, so I'm not counting anyone out yet. That power is impressive, but won't mean a thing if it can't use it.
Still - even considering the GG, ZL1 is a bargain with it's technology. Besides - this just adds more fuel for a Track Pack option (remember that ZL1 with the extra slot in the hood?...)

Hopefully the interior will have some nice upgrades and redesign.
I'm very disappointed with the weight gain however but expected in these times unfortunately.
Those comparing the straightline performance to their modded SS, there seems to be no comparison in terms of the road circuit. Suspension, coolers, etc.
Me too. Funny comparison.

Top speed must be reached in 6th, because in 5th, at the 'Ring, it was running on the limiter at 170. I believe ZL1 is drag-limited. So long as the aero'-tweeks that lower top speed benefit track performance (which I know it does), then I'm good with that
That's nothing another easy 100-horse bolt-ons won't take care of
