I like cars that are a "hoot" to drive. Probably my all time favorite car to date to drive daily, and just thrash on was a 2003 Lancer Evolution 8. I did simple bolt ons, made 300whp+, trapped 110-112, and was so fun to drive hard on curvy roads... all I had to do was keep sticky rubber on her to have fun. Hard to believe I sold that car 8 years ago 
My Evo 10 had way too much work done, and I found the amount of time I spent tinkering with it to keep it running great(and hunting for more power) wasn't worth its performance. It was definitely quicker than the ZL1 1LE in a straight line though. However a few grand in the ZL1 1LE would change that.
A ZL1 would definitely be easier to get in and out of. I think a ZL1 1LE is a great weekend warrior car! However I think the number of people who would be happy DD it would be rare. I like driving my 10 year old truck as a DD b/c if something happens to it, oh well! I don't mind door dings/rock chips/and normal driving abuse on it. |
Thanks for the input. I actually DD my C7 right now, which is probably why I'm wanting something more comfortable. I would buy a DD, but then I'd have a Corvette sitting in the garage 6/7 days of the week, feels like a waste of money. I think I may go check out a ZL1 non-1LE.
Back on topic, your awesome 1LE!
