Finally got my ZL1 1LE today

What a beast. Traded my 1SS 1LE.

Edit: How many miles do I really need before I track it. Have a weekend bought in September. Have 149 miles so far.

I had an SS 1LE and now have a ZLE... FREAKING amazing car man. Still love the SS, but the ZL1 is just incredible. CONGRATULATIONS!

Even got the fastest color.

I was thinking I could still track it and take it easy. I dont see what it would hurt if I kept the rpms below 4k and stayed under 80mph. That should be doable at Putnam Park.

Red Hot is a nice color. Wasnt an option for me this go around.

How much difference is there in the handling?

If you take away the obvious stiffer springs and DSSV shocks, how does it compare?

I am adding the ZL1 1LE rear cradle solid bushing kit soon on my SS 1LE

I don't know man, You might get lost in the moment and next thing you know you're pushing 6200 rpm hahahaha.

White would have been my second choice. Car looks mean as hell in the white

It's hard to say this car is a different animal.

Edit. I cant really put it in words just yet. The car is firm yet more bouncy on rough roads and all is tight with out movement.

I did replace the bushings on my 2011 and it was like the shocks started to work and the rear end was more planted. Where before all the cushion happened from the bushings. I did polyurethane. I think you will like it.

I rarely hear people talk about Putnam Park. Fun little track. If you are really pushing it the last turn has a relatively high pucker factor. Not the place you want to leave the track. Have fun!

Just when I was set on building up my 1SS 1LE into something crazy to outperform the ZL1 and maybe get close to the ZL1 1LE, you do this, and now I want to trade.

Haha congrats man!
