Then maybe a Prius would be more in line for you. The % of depreciation would be much less and your wallet would feel even better.

Regardless, ZL1s do hold their value better, because their production numbers are much lower. They almost never go on sale when brand new and even some gen5 cars are still priced pretty high. OTOH an SS is just an SS regardless of 1le package or not. Most folks have no clue what 1le means, not even some dealers. Brand new 18s are being discounted by 20% and even brand new 19s are offered at discounts (right now). Edmunds depreciation algorithms are far from perfect and in some cases completely wrong. Such as for Porsche cars like GT3 or its RS variant, or even a GT4. If your purchasing decisions are mainly driven by depreciation then those cars should be on your list: Schmooze a Pcar dealer for an allocation, get a GT3 RS, drive it for a year then sell it for a nice profit (that's reality vs Edmunds depreciation algos). Cheers! |

Both the 6th gen ZL1 & SS 1LE are extraordinary dual purpose vehicles for Road and track. It would depend very much on your driving conditions and on your budget.
Actually I have a Stingray Z51, which I consider is too much for my local driving conditions (no local track, not many curves around). My corvette is automatic, kind of boring to drive compared to using a shifter. Probably I would go back to a base Camaro SS with the stick, to enjoy the limits of the car under the allowed speed limits. Somewhere I read that the Corvette Grand Sport has higher limits that you would be able to explore at the track, but it will feel very controlled while driving it on the streets, missing some of the DD joy. Also noticed that the replacement parts for my Z51 like brakes and tires would be more expensive to replace them compared to the ones on the base Corvette. Whichever Camaro you chose. Enjoy it.

Maybe you're being sarcastic but.. 'Mexico' is the slang for street racing / going way too fast on public roads.

I am fortunate to live in an area close to many nice twisty rural roads in Banjo country PA where the 1LE shines, but we also have roads where 650/650 power would be very fun to have.
My budget allowed for the 1LE, not the ZL1. I am not disappointed, but wouldn't turn down a chance to upgrade.

Good seats and a shifter. Lousy clutch and doesnt come close to the Camaro re balance or communications re limits. But the motor sounds good It has a smalish tank yet sucks gas (and oil) like there is no tomorrow. My friend's car (brand new) had some rattles. It is a fun car but in a city it is hard to get it in its sweet (high) rpm range. And below 4500 it is rather gutless. I liked it but it is a lesser offer vs a 1le. And where i live they cost more than zl1 which boggles my mind... |

I bought an SS 1LE because I want to drive it, fast. If that gets some folk's panties in a wad, TS. To the OP, I've never driven a ZL1, but I rarely get an opportunity to really push my SS 1LE on the streets, so I'm not sure how much benefit I would get from a ZL1 as a DD. |
