[ST1LE]

[QUOTE=Todd in Vancouver;8350212]There is no doubt that the ZL is heavy. But do you really think that comment after comment on "its a fine driving car for the street" type talk about the ZL and how a 1LE is a true track car isn't bashing?


I dont think anyone has ever said that the ZL1 is just a 'fine driving car'. Like I said in my post, anyone that says a 1LE is a flat out better car would be foolish, as it is simply not true.

This should not upset you, but the fact is the 1LE is better suited to track duty(i.e. it IS a better track car). That does not necessarily mean it is a faster car, there are many more factors to consider other than just speed. I for one could not take either car to their limits at this point, but will start taking lessons next spring. I feel the 1LE is a better platform for a beginner like me, as its been engineered to track(better balance, easier to control and handle), and the reduced power and weight up front compared to the ZL1 will make my experience a more enjoyable one as I wont have to fight the power and weight while at the same time try and learn how to track my car at the limit. When I do hit the track it wont be to beat every other car out there, it will be to have fun and learn and progress. The less I have to fight the car, the more fun I will have. I dont care how many ZL1's blow by me on the straights, this is me against me.

The ZL1 was engineered for so much more than just the track, while that is exactly what the 1LE was designed for. The ZL1 shines in so many more areas than the 1LE, so why be upset that people recognize how good the 1LE is at the ONE thing it was really designed to do?

You drive a ZL1 man, enjoy that amazing machine and get over the fact that it isnt the best at everything.
