What about the zl1 trans: is it comparable to the ss in regards to "clunk", play in the driveline etc. or is it completely different/better?

Sure i will also try to test a manual zl1 but if you tell me that the trans is more or less similar then i will for sure get the auto

I do think the ZL1 has a stiffer feel than the SS with regard to driveline slop. With that said, either car would benefit from solid bushings in the differential and rear sub-frame.
