I thought I recall someone here on the forum who has a collection of them. If you have the money to burn they just become a full size Hot Wheels collection. Wait, there is a Hot Wheels edition.

Trade on my 2021 ZL1 Black with A10 3,700 miles was $62k but that was back in Sept last year. My guess would be right around $58k-$60k wholesale, $65k retail. High interest rates are not helping.

Yes, the C7 Corvettes in Z51 and Grandsport trim were geared slightly lower than the base Stingrays. It is not dramatic but it is noticeable. The Z06 and ZL1 use the LT4 so the gearing is...

No, they are different, which is why you can reach 62mph in 1st gear on a ZL1 M6. 83mph in 2nd, 113mph in 3rd. This tall gearing mated to the 3.73 rear keeps the torque from the LT4 in check and...

Glad to hear nothing is wrong with your car. This is what I was trying to articulate earlier in the thread. The A10 and M6 make for quite different personalities in the ZL1. The first 5 gears of...

I owned a 2017 C7 Stingray M7, 2019 C7 Grand Sport M7 and 2021 ZL1 A10.

They are all great but it really just depends what is most important to you.

If it was the Dexos2 European formula then you were fine.

If it was this one then it was wrong and costs about half the price of Dexos2/DexosR Supercar.

Keep in mind that the boost will fluctuate as part of the torque management system. So depending which gear and RPM you are at it may pull some boost. I would think a 3rd gear pull should give you...
