Trading Z06 2015 for 2018 ZL1 convertible 6 spd.. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Charlesk · 04-17-2018, 06:39 PM

Hard to believe right? But I drove a ZL 1 and really loved it. Picking up my red 6 Speed convertible on Thursday from Kellyville Chevrolet in Connecticut. All my Corvette owning friends tell me that I'm insane but I think the car will be just as much fun but more usable. So what do you guys think? I'm new to the Forum so should be hanging out with you guys.

I picked up my red ZL1 convertible yesterday. On the way to the dealer my 6700 mile ZO6 blue its left front tire out 30 miles from the dealer. It was such a relief to pick up the ZL1 and drive at home without any anxiety. Myself and my co-pilot friend think that the ZL1 is a much better car. We also found the ride the cockpit and the over Driving Experience to be superior. I had many questions in my mind as to whether this was a good move or not. I no longer have those questions and I'm extremely happy that I made the trade. There was really no need for me to post pictures since it is identical to the red ZL1 convertible posted previously in this thread
