Considering pulling the trigger and trading in for ZL1

I am considering trading 2ss for ZL1.. unfortunately I haven't been able to drive one. I have heard from a couple of dealerships the ZL1 is a completely different car.. Monthly payment goes up a lot. Thoughts?

*200 more horse power... 200 more ft/lbs of torque.

DO IT.

Seems like you all agree.. I was surprised to see how much my 2SS has dropped in value. What do you think of the price of $63,995 on new 2017 ZL1 silver?

Here's four:

No goofy cylinder deactivation.

Alcantara interior.

The body kit is ssssssssmexy!

And finally:




And the reason I bought the ZL1 over the SS after driving both: The SS impressed me. The ZL1 made me laugh.

Why don't you stick with the 2SS until at least the refresh comes out?

you can build your 2ss to be just as fast as a Zl1 for much less money. I looked at a couple Zl1's before buying a 1SS(money is not a issue) and thought they are overpriced.

I've never driven a ZL1 but let's be honest you're "considering" and you came here to post hoping you would hear what you needed to hear to make the deal. You know you want to and if you financially have the means, do it. If not now you will eventually.

That is true. I need to go test drive one . Unfortunately there isn't one close to me, so I hate wasting their time if I am not buying it from them .
