For me, the reason I don't want the ZL1 is predominantly aesthetics and the true lack of choice. The ZL1 is basically built "one way", take it or leave it. I would like different wheels, I don't want the Recaro seats, I don't want any of the fake-suede stuff, and I'd like to at least have the flexibility of an interior trim package that adds accent colors (I really like the Adrenaline Red that I have with the Summit White exterior, but there's nothing at all like this with the ZL1).
I'm never going to be able to truly take any advantage of the power driving around the city streets and it's only going to get me in a LOT of trouble on the highway (I have enough difficulty with the SS staying out of trouble).
If I make a change, it will be to another 2SS Convertible with a couple of slight differences in the options.

That is why it is great they give us so many options.
For me, it was down to a 2SS 1LE or ZL1. I prefer the ZL1 Recaro seats with the red stitching and the ZL1 badge on them more than the grey inserts on the 1LE seats. I also prefer the ZL1 hood, front grill and spoiler to the SS 1LE. The wheels were a toss up as I like them both on the 1LE and ZL1 and the red calipers are nice on the 1LE. Let's face it though, you buy the ZL1 for the same reason one would buy a Z06, CTS-V, GT500, Hellcat, etc. Totally unnecessary but a blast to own.
