1LE is a great car, but truly doesn't hold a candle to a ZL1. I think those that say otherwise either haven't driven a ZL1 or are just fooling themselves. By far the most fun, capable car I've ever owned. I've had mine for over a year, put 19000 miles on it as my daily driver, and I still take it out just to take it out because it's such a great car. Don't look back, if you can afford it I highly recommend it.

Do it and don't look back.

The ZL1 is light years ahead of the SS/1LE.

I just did that! Loved my 2013 1LE, great car but decided to upgrade and get a new 2015 ZL1 while they are still available. My only recommendation is do not test drive one unless you are ready to buy one, they are amazing!!

I did that also. Traded my 14 1LE in on a 14 ZL1. The ZL1 feels a LOT heavier, but I love it. Once you get over the bulky feel of the car, you will love it. HP =

Do it. I did it and didn't look back. ZL1 is special, and comparing the 2 there is 1 that definitely outshines the other.
