To the OP, drive what you like because you are paying for the car and that's all that really matters.
Reject all stereotypes and opinions of others as they are usually expressing jealousy for not driving the car of their desires. |

Be aware
Beautiful car!
But be aware of this. Many, many owners of C7 Grand Sports and ZO6s have had wheel cracking issues. They are very POed. Chevrolet will not recognize the problem. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4223832

My first post here but I've got to say...... who not choose a freakin Z06 over a Camaro if you could afford it. Greatest front engine muscle car of all time. I just bought my 2nd Camaro and I LOVE IT......but gosh if a Z06 had been in the equation it would not have been had hard choice. My Camaro is certainly the best late model muscle car I have ever owned. My last was a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT I immediately modded the heck out of and voided the warranty. It was a blast driving a 4 door car that could run 10's beat a stock vette in a street race but ultimately the car became a source of too much work. Fun for 10 years but I had to move on. My new camaro is a much better car no doubt, but its no Z06.

But to each his own there! I take nothing away from Corvettes - awesome cars - but not a muscle car. They are literally a road race chassis tuned for street use. If that's what you want - especially if you want to track the car a lot - it's a great car. But Corvette is more of a weekend car to me than an everyday car. And even at that I prefer road trips in the Camaro too and so does my wife. So while I love the idea of a Corvette - I just wouldn't want one vs. the Camaro. And it's not a matter of affording one - I could easily do that, although I would have to sell my Porsche. |

I will say, it was pretty annoying having to explain what my 19 SS 1LE was over and over again. Always ended with this:
Then: “So basically, it’s a track built SS with a lot of tech taken from the zl1 without the motor/supercharger? Me: “pretty much” Them: “why didn’t you just get the zl1 and have it all?” Left me questioning why didn’t I just get the zl1 and have basically the same handling with a good amount of power. Test drove a zl1 and traded in the 1LE for it. Even got the same color as well. |

To each their own , I love my 1le but if I could afford a Z06 I would have gotten one. I’m buying the car for me and want the most bang for the buck and the 1le is the most car for me at this price. I’ve gotten plenty of “why didn’t you buy an automatic?”
People are always going to be biased and judge your decisions and purchases but it all come down to what I want. I’m paying for it so, f*ck their opinions, in the friendliest way possible lol. |

Not the car, not the sort of use that it was aimed at, not even the kind of driver who would buy it specifically because of what it is. Norm

It's not that hard to describe. Isn't it basically just a SS with the suspension set-up from the ZL1? Or maybe better way to describe it as a ZL1 with the LT1 engine. More or less anyway.
Similar idea to the C6 Gran Sport - it's a Z06 with the LS3 engine. |
