Made the Switch, Had too! New ZL1 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I started a thread a while back trying to get peoples opinions whether I should make the swap for my awesome blown 1/LE for the ZL1. I did this knowing that I had to have the ZL1 once I drove it. The car is just a master piece. My 1/LE was definitely no joke but at the end of the day no matter how much power you put to it and whatever tasteful mods you do to it, it was never going to be this. Period!!
Car is a 2013 Manual FULLY loaded. I believe it has every option and is easily the best driving, best shifting manual, and most

enjoyable car I ever drove.

Here's some pictures.............(Taken with phone, not the best, sorry)

I would have asked to swap the wheels. Your 1LE's wheels are better IMO.

When Searching ZL1's I specifically stayed away from the black ones. Not only do I not like the black look that much but they were THEE biggest pain in the ass to keep clean and to clean. Not to mention they scratch like crazy. The Blacks do have a little more wow factor I agree.

Can't tell if this is sarcasim but Thanks I guess.......Also Didn't blow anything. Got an unbelievable trade in value, they actually paid me for my mods couldn't believe it, would of never thought this either. Also got many thousand off the MSRP cause it was a 2013.
If the deal wasn't great believe me I wouldn't of done it.

Thanks man!! I have had many cars and just feel the polished wheels are easier to keep nice. Especially when actually cleaning them. The black ones would take a good 10 minutes per wheel easy. These I will have spotless within 2 minutes easy, just less to clean and not a lot of nooks and crannies

One bad thing about the switch, your 1LE has better wheels on it.
