Fact is, I just bought an new 23' 2SS 1LE and could have bought a ZL1 just the same, but didn't need that kind of power since I have another high hp vehicle.... But, I now am thinking I should have found and bought a 22 or 23 ZL1 1LE....lol
In reality, there are VERY few of us / the public that will EVER use a fraction of even what the SS 1LE can deliver... Most will never do aggressive mountain drives or track days like some of us do, so having a Z1LE is really just a waste. However, we still "want" one...
I've been to track days where I was passing McLaren 720S's and chasing my buddy in his GT 2RS and he didn't get away from me... So, all of these cars as SO capable and most owners / drivers will never have the nerve or want to risk their crazy expensive car to go that quickly....Most of what we think we want is just in our heads...
All that said, I turned down a Z1LE since I had my other fast track capable car, but even now, I still wished I'd have bought it at the $71K price offered... It would now be worth way more... Oh well. We'll see what the used market does now..

You are right, as soon as something goes away, I end up paying extra! In CA these have been no where near MSRP for quite sometime. 6 months ago I knew my industry was going to go on strike, I was thinking don’t go out and buy another car, (I’m known for going out and buying expensive stuff I don’t need as soon as I’m out of work, lol) but I thought chances are this car is going to be impossible to get in ‘24. I figured even if the shit hits the fan, I can likely sell it for more than what I paid ( well above MSRP) when the end comes near. It is the Zenith of all Camaro’s ever built. So far she’s in the garage sitting with all the factory pieces unopened, plastic still covering the carpet and 120 miles on it (miles to drive it home from the dealer), we shall see…….
