Thanks guys. To be clear, I already knew we can purchase out-of-state cars and register them in CA, but my question pertained specifically to the issue of 2021 ZL1 being banned from sale here in CA and in WA.
By the way, I found out my nearest dealership has a ZLE in stock, so I went to check it out, purely to check out the ergonomics, interior and admiring its looks, as I knew full well they wouldn’t allow a test drive.
It looked and felt great in there! Visibility wasn’t an issue to me (at least sitting in the showroom haha) and since I’m not very tall I had plenty of space and comfort.
Of course, they wanted about $10k markup for alleged dealer-installed accessories, so the trip to the dealership also doubled up as comic relief

Hey it’s their car to sell of course, but that would not be for me to get suckered into paying that!
