The chevy dealers aren't really budging on pricing and the best I'm able to do for a ZLE is 67-68k with an out the door price of ~73k in Michigan. I can maybe get this down a bit after a whole lot of work and looking at out of state dealers, but no matter what we're still at 70k or higher out the door.

Meanwhile the tesla model 3 performance is 60k OTD and has a 0-60 of 3.2. More importantly it feels faster due to the instant response time, I did drive it. Next level fast to the point that the acceleration can make you nauseous even.

The M2 is a great driver's car, haven't driven one yet personally though. This is still 5k less than the Zl1 at 66k OTD and is about the same 0-60 time with a more refined transmission and interior.

Thoughts?

Note: My daily driver is a 2016 camaro SS 6 speed, looking for a new DD. I will not be tracking the car.
Do you want to buy a car for its 0-60 metric? If yes, get the Tesla, no question about it. The experience will probably be sterile, but it's unbeatable off the line.

On another note, are you sure about considering a ZL1 1LE for a DD? Why not the regular ZL1 that is a lot cheaper, too?
