The car needs headers for sure. Totally changed the sound of my last ZL1.

Just go faster! Jolt may be a bit harsher, but over quicker. These beasts stay put and settle quickly.

For every car, on every website, people always rationalize the ride, whether it's an Aventador, a 599 GTO, GT-R NISMO and on and on. As manufacturers are pushing these faster and faster, the suspension isn't necessarily getting more compliant, there are a few unique ones, but the majority of the fastest street-legal cars are going to ride pretty harsh, but rest assured there'll be someone that says "it's not that bad and I can DD it".
I'm not saying the ZL1 1LE is bad, just that if you went off what the internet says, every high end street-legal race car would be compliant enough for DD.

Honestly IMO it's bad. Bit road condition dependent. Even mine is bad. Albeit the roads in this city are reflective of inept planing from the elected "representatives". Tires and all the other means to make it better isn't an earned value exercise. Save miles. Take the family car Only place we take mine som times is to Coronado. The roads between here and there are in pretty nice shape but my wife does complain. Mostly about the noise. Good luck with whatever direction you pursue, sir.

I talked my wife into an Accord Touring which rides about like the ZL1 in Tour mode. She doesn't mind the ZL1 at all. Her problem with the ZL1 is all the attention it gets. It's too "show off". To solve that how do I make my ZL1 look more like a Mustang?
But OP I think your solution would be to get a Charger Hellcat as a daily driver and save the ZLE for track days.

that's why I've never even considered the ZL1 1LE. It's a good choice if it's
1-a track car only, 2-you don't ever want to take passengers (especially female) 3-can put up with a very bumpy ride on the streets. Last edited by cbr1100xx; 11-12-2018 at 06:16 PM. |

The regular ZL1 rides like a caddy with mag ride and 10 speed auto. And it's even faster straight line than the ZLE. |

Regular ZL1 rides very compliant and well behaved. It can be a ***** cat when needed, or a beast when you push it. My wife said she hoped she had the same suspension on her X5. I wouldn't look Doge direction unless they significantly up their games.

The ZLE is a different animal much like the Z/28 both with DSSV which is where the noticeable difference is. Then then add the fact there is zero rubber in the suspension of a ZLE (besides tires) increases that even more than the Z/28. But as far as the other models no one has ever mentioned how stiff the ZL1 is. In fact I've always said my 5th Gen ZL1 was the most comfortable driving Camaro there was and still stand my that one. |

I know it is personal preference. My wife is actually convinced that ZL1 tour mode is both more comfortable and sportier (of course) than her X5. A softer ride doesn't automatically ride better or more comfortable, if it isolates or delays the road feedback too much that you feel dizzy.
