Yeah defintely agree on this. Having seat time in both, the SS 1LE is by far the value king. If well driven, a SS 1LE can run with about anything on any track.
Agreed also, the SS 1LE is much more approachable and much less intimidating than the ZL1 1LE, even for seasoned drivers. A good illustration: My dad- who runs advanced with PCA/NASA/CHIN would have been faster in my SS 1LE than in his new ZL1 1LE during his first track event @ VIR. After some coaching from my brother and myself, plus good old fashioned seat time with the ZL1 1LE, he's fully up to speed.
The ZL1-1LE most definitely requires skill, but more importantly...confidence in one's skills to get the most from it.
