I rarely see another ZL1 let alone a convertible. I don’t track so the vert is great. It’s surprisingly well designed, too. Road noise when the top’s up is nearly coupe like, air management when...

I’m surprised to hear these things about Callaway. My buddy had a Callaway C6Z SC652 and it hauled. I rode in it a few times and it felt every bit of its claimed power. It was definitely quicker...

My ‘21 ZL1 Convertible downshifts like this when changing modes, too. Also, I’m surprised at how low of a gear the trans will select when holding down the left paddle. First time I tried it, it...

If GM drops the LT5 in the ZL1, they’ll have quite a few pissed off ZR1 owners. Having that special engine (however closely related) is a large part of the ZR1’s allure and plays a significant role...

Regarding the new interior, how is it looking over the gauge binnacle? I call it the Double-D dash, lol. Seems like it's too broad/high. Is it noticeable/bothersome while driving? TIA

The ZL1 sounds a little raspier to me. It's not a huge difference, but I detect a slightly different tone. Both cars sound good, though.
