Well I did it. After posting the question about what car to buy. 2018 ZL1 1LE and couldn’t be happier. What a car! Amazing is what comes to mind. Drove it 220 miles home with a huge smile.

That smile will just keep on getting bigger.

Congrats! Enjoy.

BTW, nice stable.

Congratulations on your beautiful purchase! I would recommend having XPel Ultimate applied to the front bumper cover, the leading edges of the fenders/hood, and the rocker panels to keep it looking beautiful!

How does the Corvette stack up between the other 2?

The Vette probably now feels underpowered compared to the ZL1 lol. Almost like stepping into a Miata from an SS.... kidding.

The 2012 convertible in the pic is actually sold and waiting for the shipper. It’s hard to compare it to the Corvette which is also for sale to put the bank account back to normal. If you compare it to a regular c6 Corvette it is like comparing it to a Miata.. The Grand Sport can definitely hold its own but not against the ZL1, it feels even faster then my old Z06. Feels like I’m in more of a race car now. This cars interior blows them away can’t even compare. I picked up the ZL1 with only 900 miles so I’m still babying it. I’ll need a few weeks to really get the feel. But I’m very happy with my decision to sell both cars to get the zl1. The looks and feel are amazing. Chevy got this one right!!

Congrats on your new ride. I agree Chevy did get this one right even on the SS model. I sold a 2004 CE Corvette that I could never let go when I owned my 2011 SS. It’s amazing what this car has evolved into. I think your really going to enjoy your new ZL1

Is the ZL1 interior the same as the 2SS? If so I think the Vette has a much nicer interior. To much hard plastic on the doors and the top of the dash in the SS. Then again with GM you give up interior quality for performance in the SS and Vette and that is ok with me. I will say the seats are very comfortable. Most GM cars have cheap interiors.
