IMHO the rarer and more distinctive ZLE will hold value or appreciate better than the regular ZL1. I was thinking of selling but will be keeping mine for at least 3-4 years. I'm not the fastest guy, but this is me at 160 MPH into turn 1 pulling away from a GT3RS followed by a C8 and an F430 Challenge, the lead got bigger each lap. |

This is me last year not doing anything impressive, just working my way through a green group pack lol. But the pic came out nice. Up the Esses at Watkins Glen.

If you haven't tried PSC2 on a ZL1, let me tell you from experience they truly suck. I don't know why, they're pretty good on Porsches and other cars, but on ZL1s they suck. You'll get better track performance and longevity with standard GY SC 3 (non-R), and much cheaper. On my 18s I run Pirelli DH scrubs and get good lap times for 2-3 days, also treat them with Hot Lap softener to extend life for another weekend. But after running new A7, I'm convinced that if I'm buying new I'll always go 3R over R7/A7 from now on. Last edited by SFV1LE; 06-08-2022 at 12:16 AM. |

2 days of ownership but only 13 miles. I feel like I'm going to break shit with the rough ride. Almost pointless to have this machine in my town unless driving on the highway. I live in a small rural town with uneven brick streets, expansion joints unfilled, etc. Not a fun ride at all going so slow. I don't mind a stiffer ride, as I owned a c6Z06 and felt a lot of bumps, but this feels stupidly low and like any bump I'm going to bottom out the bottom I'll give it awhile to enjoy more, especially adding AWE exhaust, but didn't tickle my fancy as much as watching it on YouTube.

PS4S tires do improve the ride quality a bit. Not much, but it's a bit better for street driving. Save the SC3Rs for a track day

Having said that, I came out of my SS 1LE (came stock with GY SC3 tires) into my 2022 718 GT4 , which has Cup 2's as standard. Before I got the car, I had convinced myself that I would be ditching the Cup 2's as soon as I wore thru them for the GY SC3 (since they come in stock sizes), however I just replaced them and I just could not get myself to lose the Cup 2's. I had no issue with them on the GT4 and with a track alignment I typically see between 1.4 to 1.47 lateral G's on my local on/off ramps. The best I saw on the 1LE was 1.25 and that was only on fresh tires. From the tests I have seen the GY SC3 are just a tad slower than the Cup 2's (like hair thin difference) but I just couldn't get myself to do it. Maybe next time around. I think the reason the Cup 2's do not do well on the Alpha Platform, especially on the ZL1 or ZL1 1LE variants is because those are heavy cars and the sidewalls are too soft for that much weight. It works on the Porsches because they (at least the GT cars) are in the 3100 to 3300 lb range. Having said all that, there is no doubt the GY SC3 R's are a couple steps above the Cup 2's , but they are a track tire and need good heat in them to extract that extra grip. Hell, I have a hard enough time keeping enough heat in the Cup 2's on the street that even if they offered the SC3 R's in stock GT4 sizes (which they do not), I would not be able to enjoy them on the street.

Given your initial experience, I would seriously consider taking advantage of the still crazy car market, and sell it ASAP so you can recoup as much of your money as possible. That AWE exhaust ain't going to improve anything, and worst case I think it might negatively affect the resale value. To anyone who is considering purchasing a ZL1 1LE: Do yourself a huge favor and get a ride in one before doing so, even if you have to drive a couple of hours!!! Geoff |
