I look forward to seeing how my regular ZL1 stacks up against the new 1LE in the near future on track. I know that they also use different ( non Magnetic) adjustable dampers and sway bar and camber plates will be an interesting comparison for me.


You should post the whole thing if you are going to quote me I said that its the whole package but tires in my experience are a Large factor. Size and contact patch make a huge difference in times around a track also it would be interesting to see Bill Wise drive the regular ZL1 around the ring and see if there is any time differnce also.
