Slip the clutch more out of stops and you wont notice anything.

That all helps in the turns, but it's bad for straight line racing.

I think the ZLE are about 60 pounds lighter (assuming it is equipped with a MT). Whether or not that is significant to the individual buyer is another story.

I thought my 2019 had this "issue" but its more driver error than anything. Once I got used to it, i haven't experience it.

All I can say is drive the ZLE before you pull the trigger, try and drive on different kinds of roads. This car is not for the faint of heart. I love mine, but I have taken some of my friends that love fast cars for a ride and they got out saying they would never own that car. My wife won't ride in it at all, 2 miles and she wanted out.

My wife loves these cars going back to the 15 Z/28. She drives them and will let mofos have if they act up.

This is the first toy I have ever had she hated. Have had coil over cars, so they didn't ride much better, that she rode in frequently. We are getting older so maybe her tolerance has gone down.

You know how it goes once she said “no” thats the end of that. More miles for you!

Yep. I ain't complaining.

I had very little bog until I learned the car and how to modulate the gas and clutch let off. Sure it can still happen but you can also miss a gear sometimes after a two hour driving session. It can still happen even when you are a pro. You think the lap times are always perfect...uh, no. You are human, buy the car and enjoy the M6 for what it is.

I didn't want to deal with that rough suspension every day but I just love the way the 1LE looks. Looks like a damn fighter jet to me, but I decided to get the regular Z at the time.

Now, I no longer drive the ZL1 as a daily so I'm really considering trading it for a 1LE.

I had the choice and went ZL1... then sold it for a ZLE now I want the auto ZLE

But I do track it.

Get the 2020 GT 500 and be done with it all.

I’ve decided to take the plunge. Just need to get through the holiday season first then I’m getting one. I can’t wait.
