ZL1 has mag ride also right

I think there's more to it than just the HP to weight ratio. The LT1 will have a lot of torque in the low end and better aerodynamics. I think it will be faster than the ZL1.

Why you looking for a black 12?

GaBoy yes the the ZL1 has electromagnetic shocks and preprogrammed handling settings. I wrote also cause they both do. I did fail English as a second language LOL Danger I agree that is why this is soo hard for me. One question though. Does anybody know if racetracks consider targa tops as regular coupes or convertibles? Tracking my car is def. going to be done and I would hate to buy the Vette and find out I cannot track it. I traded in a vert cause I could not track it.

Andy... i would not be shocked if you do based on your track record.

And so it begins........... By the way the mag ride isn't in the base stingray. It's a higher price option.

Blueclyde · 01-14-2013, 09:50 PM

I've never owned a vet. Kids are getting older and don't like the back seat of the Camaro. Oldest has her own car. Anything is possible.

That's a standard option.

I believe it is the Z51 handling package. No price for upgrades or base car. Price will be an issue. Have to see what they come up with.

The only thing I've found the back seat is good for is holding my helmet!!!
I wouldn't sell my ZL1 but I might buy my "wife" the vette.

firecross91 · 01-14-2013, 10:03 PM

GaBoy correct magnetic ride base, LSD is part of performance package.
