Thanks for the responses. Sounds like a few of you definitely agree the ZL1 has smoother suspension/more refined. That’s a reason I’m considering making the switch….here’s where I’m at, opinion and experience appreciated.,

1. the Z06 is pretty harsh on anything other than super smooth pavement. I’m considering coilovers if I keep the vette which closes the price gap another $2500. Not sure if coilovers will make the car improve enough though. And then lastly, the seats are awful in the C6Z. C7 seats will cost me another 2grand.

2. I love the raw N/A LS7 and the light feel. I’m ok with gaining the weight of the ZL1 but I don’t want to lose the crazy awesome torque and that hit feeling with acceleration. I will not mod the ZL1 past an intake and pulley so for those that drive both, Does a stock-(ish) ZL1 run and pull like the C6Z?

Thanks for the input.
