Beautiful boy! Doomed (as all of us) to be another machine head. Just as father's sons, are as apples to the tree. Destined to never fall far.
2000 miles on a ZLE may alter your predisposed ideas on a lot of things. If I may, I suggest that you drive the car for a while before deciding on mods.
FWIW, if you are not DDing or driving in the rain and/or cold, perhaps when you get a taste of the sticky AND unrelenting nature those 3Rs you may find that GYs are an exceptional performance value. As you are probably aware; A) engineered exclusively for the suspension and weight of this specific car; B) GYs first R compound, street legal tire; C) GYs racing heritage and the fact that they are made in the USA;. 100 UTQG be damned... these shoes and their street legal sticky magic, work very, very well with this car.
Pops (my Grandfather) told me when I was a young boy (I had no idea what the heck he was talking about at the time), If you are worried about the price of high test (his words, you guys know what it means*) oil or tires, don't ever buy a HP car. 3Rs seem to be a worthwhile and reasonable HP investment to me.
Many have complained about the ride of this car. IMHO, the grip and ability of this car to instantaneously settle (even with limited or no nannies), especially at this price point is unsurpassed. Although I wouldn't recommend as a DD (there are some tough, hard a** SOBs out there who can handle)
, ZLE is an amazing car. It will fill up your guts and likely take seconds off of your lap times. ZLE is one of the finest production performance automobiles that I have ever driven, and without question, the best performance car that I have ever owned.
My apologies for the rant. I digress.
Enjoy your new ride, and time shared with your boy. They really do grow up really fast.
*Anybody remember 101+ octane Sunoco 260 pump gas for $0.75/gal in the late 70s? Or driving to the air park before track days to get 110 octane aviation gas for $0.95?
