1st night together, I hope they get along!

I just know one of them is going to pee on the other one! Just got the ZL1 on Friday and I love it. It will fit into my garage nicely! Such a huge difference from my Gen 5 ZL1. I can't wait to break it in and open her up!

Initial observations:

1) Ride/suspension is awesome. For all those folks that say it's too harsh, they must just be used to a cushy ride as it's no harsher than the GT350 in sport mode and my Ford RS in sport mode is actually harsher.

2) Rear visibility is zero, all I can see is a giant wing....but I love it!

3) I don't think I will ever get tired of the Rev matching feature!

Regards

Ha!! I have the same concern as you!! Lol.

My two boys get along just fine!

I also love the fact that I can’t see out of my back window (it reminds me that the car is purpose built). In my opinion, it’s a shame they are going with a lower wing for next year’s 1LE.

I down shift like a madman just to hear the rev match


Congrats !

on good roads its not bad at all - on a busted up road with unavoidable potholes or seamed highway with 2" seams its really bad.

a shallow pothole will bottom out the shock - remember you only have about +/- 1" of travel now.

Enjoy!

What is this based on, that 1 pic of a non-production car?
