My two cents is a ZL1 1le can be frustrating with the stock tires since you can not just "mash the gas" anytime you want. You HAVE TO manage the tires and get heat into them. I drove 18 miles yesterday at 44 degrees highway just to get the tires into the NORMAL (green) on the dash to hit my favorite exit ramp. traction was still extremely limited. It really a 10 mile trip but I took a longer route to but more mile on them hoping for heat.


I think the cheapest route for you is what ever you are driving buy a set of 200 treadware tires and get used to the feel of them at different temps. I been running them for more than 20 years on a few front wheel and rear wheel drive cars so its been good practice. Plus none of my cars have had ABS or traction control until I bought one in 2013.


I properly warmed up tire on a nice dry day will make you feel like you got a cape with an S on it.

You forgot the pic. of the instrument panel, this is where it really shows. Those huge ass analog gauges are hideous in the C7. The main digital screen is nice, but the flanking analog ones look 2000's truckish.

I think GM did a much nicer job on the analog gauges in the Upper range Camaro's and the 4 smaller center digital gauges look better as well.

Also the Recaro seats are more comfortable in the Camaro as well.

Materials are probably the same, although that carbon fiber looks yuck in the Corvette. Maybe it's real carbon fiber, but I think the glossy carbon fiber looks much nicer and POP's a lot more. I miss that part of my M3 interior.

Strawman, you are trying to say one or two things are better?, come on. So you don't like the carbon fiber in a corvette, but in an M3 it's ok? This is ridiculous.

"and some carbon fiber, I assume, is good"...
