The dirty secret in America is that the dollar has way less buying power than ever before. That affects everything. Six figures used to be a lot of money. Its not anymore. I make fairly close to the same money I did 6 years ago and it doesnt go nearly as far. 6 years ago I had WAY more money for toys and I made 15% less.

If a ZL1 1LE was available today for the same money I paid in 2020, the payment would be a BIGGER hardship for me now even though I make a bit more.

Having said all of this, GM really dropped the ball with lack of advertising, lack of parts, and zero upgrades since 2019.

I'd have ate Ramen and paid $20K more over sticker to trade in my current car for a LT5 powered Zl1. As it stood, they couldnt even build ZL1-1LE's to satiate the market for 2024, 2023, and 2022. Proof? There were MANY posts from people right here saying their orders were cancelled.
