I’ve owned both...first bought a 2014 ZL1, custom ordered from the dealer. What a great car! The MOST comfortable car I’ve ever owned (until now...the 2019 Raptor wins). Was really fast and a head turner. Left it stock but pulled the exhaust fuse in the back for sure. Put only 3700 miles on it but loved it.

Then, GM announcement for the Z28 came out...dammit. That was a great looking car, awesome spec. For $75k? A bit out of reach.

Fast forward to 2016 and GM had 15% rebates in all 2015 model cars. Adding that there were still a few hundred Z28s on lots. Short story shorter, found my Z28 about 2 hours away from a dealer with just 10 miles on it. Was the only Z28 left in NY state...as I was talking to a dealer in Iowa with 8 Z28s still on the lot.

They gave me retail $$ for my ZL1 (wholesale was $39-40k, they gave me $44k)...and the Z28 was $55k. I love when manufacturers and dealers work together and panic! 😝😝

Only the NJ DMV questioned the taxes...because they didn’t believe me that I paid $12k for a Z28 (price less trade in)...so the dealer had to fill out some paperwork.

Here is a picture when I picked up the Z28...my ZL1 trade is pictured behind it.
