Traded in my 5th gen for a 6th! Wow what an upgrade!

zr1chris · 07-13-2018, 08:35 AM

After allot of research and test driving other cars like a 2013 Grand Sport it was simply a no-brainer to go with the NEW 2018 SS 1LE that is simply better in almost every way. Especially since it was actually cheaper by a couple thousand. It's truly amazing how far technology has come in these cars in such a short amount of time. I can't believe how much better this car performs than my old car in every way.

It's also my first brand new car ever. I couldn't be happier!

First pic is my old car and new car...

Love the Red Hot 1LE, enjoy!

I did the same thing. New one certainly faster. Only downside is a smaller trunk.

That's awesome!! So funny I had a very similar thought about my cars.

Cheekster96 · 07-13-2018, 09:17 AM

Congrats! Sharp looking 1LE!

FNxR3DNECK · 07-13-2018, 09:33 AM

my 17 SS 1LE was my first brand new car as well! Feels good doesn't it?!? Congrats!

HighIron · 07-13-2018, 10:33 AM

Man, that IS nice! I was never a big fan of the 1LE looks-wise, but that one looks nice...."I gotta have one" nice.

I'm a bit sentimental about my older cars and try to take a photo of my trade-in with the new car.

Congrats man!! I pick mine up tomorrow. Driving 360 miles to pick it up. Will be a nice drive back up the California Coast.

Sweet ride!

First things you should do without delay:

get the ZL1addons deluxe rock guards
get a set of 4 bolt on lift pads, also from zl1addons. Do not get the magnetic one with the puck. Get the BOLT ON lift pads, and get 4.
Buy a skip shift eliminator, for sure. A lot of people will tell you "you don't need it" but trust me, its so much better without skip shift.
