I can share my experience relative to a lowered ZL1 and having many lowered cars (in general) over the years. I have a ZL1 1LE on 19’s with the stock tire size. Lowered about 3/4”-1” on DSC Tractive coilovers.

Compared to lowered C6/C7 Corvette’s, a lowered ZL1 is far easier (practical) for normal driving. It has significantly more clearance for things like speed bumps, uneven incline/entrances,etc…. My C6 Z06 requires almost constant attention to the road and is somewhat limited in where I can drive it as a result of the ride height. My ZL1 really has no limitations that I’ve encountered. I’m not sure if that is a result of my sensitivity to the C6Z, but I haven’t encountered any scenarios where my ZL1 is limited due the ride height. It’s nice to have a car that is lowered and I really don’t have to think (worry) when driving around.
