No doubt the delta will still be there, but it could shrink quite a bit. Possibly to a second? Who knows? But I am stepping on a VERY slippery slope of arm chair "expert opinions" here - something I don't want to pursue any further, as I still recall where it led when I suggested that the last gen Z/28 was not worth 50% price premium over the last gen ZL1 as IMO its pace was largely (but not totally) due to near slick Trofeos vs Good Years. I've already said too much so I am going to hide under the table now
However, money and value considerations aside, I'd love to have a ZL1 1LE for a track, ZL1 for the street and a 1LE just because it is so special. Cheers! |
I agree with you on the price premium of the Z28 over the previous Gen ZL1 or even the SS 1LE. With that kind of money, it didn't really deliver that amount of performance IMO.
The ZL1 vs ZL1 1LE however, the price gap is not that big. It is very hard to guess how/if it could benefit from those sticky R compound tires since going with a very sticky tires might be even detrimental in some cases since it will alter the whole MRC suspension tuning. Also, the car is a total package tires, aero, suspension (most likely tuned and has stiffer springs because of the additional down force)..etc
The whole reason I will consider the multimatics is because I want to be able to benefit from running wider and stickier tires. Running an NT01 on the MRCs shouldn't make that much of a difference since the newer hybrid tires (extreme performance tires) are very close to NT01s in terms of peak performance, G in the skidpad and braking zones..etc
