Only if he has hard miles on a ZL1.

Ohhh I see what you did there, now you're going to tell me the sky is green.

Absolutely zero other cars. Speed is super but the handling is, well, words just don't do it justice.

Anything else I have ever owned, although I have never owned anything close to this car would have dove and slid. Love this car

I am so glad that no trash bags were harmed on your way home!

"Confidence inspiring" describes it beautifully! The 2SS/RS I traded against our ZL1 used to "push" in the corners all the time on the street. No comparison to the ZL1!

Well at least you're being realistic.

Grand Sport Corvette, Z06, Viper.
But they aren't 4-seat, 4200 lb cars either.

The ZL1 is unmatched at what it does for what it is.

ZO6 Bryan · 07-17-2013, 10:55 PM

My Z06 has way more front and rear end grip. No comparison.

JusticePete · 07-17-2013, 11:11 PM

The sway bar bias (25mm front, 28mm rear) really helps the ZL1, even with staggered wheels and tires. The 1LE has better balance (no blower) and a semi square wheel and tire setup so even with 'stolen' ZL1 bits it grips better. In fact, the 1LE grips so well it was too neutral so it was released with a 27mm front bar to add back some understeer. You can address that by installing a 25mm ZL1 front bar or a larger rear bar. Then there is the Z/28 with 305/30/19s all round.

I wonder where they got that idea?

No more grave yard shifts for you!

I think they said that that one weighs almost 100lbs more than the Camaro.
