Congrats!!!

And yes, have them remove those front spring spacers before you drive it home.

If I don't want it lower, louder, or faster, what is there to mod?

Congrats! I don't know that I would modify anything on that.
I have a 2018 ZL1 'vert, and it is so much fun as is.
Love that blue! You will love it!

Hello BLueZL1caB, congrats on the new Z If it's not a secret, you could tell us about that Iowa experience you had when you were 1

If you don't want suspension, exhaust or power mods, you can still apply quite a few very tasteful exterior and interior mods. My full list is here, feel free to ask about anything specific: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/camar...=view&id=22819

Regardless of subjective mods, I think protecting the paint with PPF and also yourself with a quality dash cam are very much worth considering.

thanks arpad

I'll leave the outside stock for a while. If I get bored of anything, I'll be asking.

I do want to protect the paint but I want something you can't see.

What is PPF and are there any dashcams you recommend?

I think the car in stock form is going to be more than enough for me

I know it's more than I deserve

It seems you and I are in the minority. I had big ideas of headers/tune/exhaust etc prior to getting mine. All I've done is a Cold air intake, smoked out side markers, tinted windows, clear bra and ceramic coating. (More cosmetic things than power upgrades) because like you, once I got my car in Sept of '22 I found it had plenty of power and all those other "power " mods weren't necessary for me. I am PLENTY happy with mine in it's stock form!! Enjoy your new ZL1!!

What is PPF and are there any dashcams you recommend?
PPF stands for paint protection film. It preserves your paint underneath from typical dirt and pebble hits, and often has self-healing qualities, meaning small superficial scratches and wash marring can heal themselves under heat (in the sun or even a hot lamp). I suggest this because 1) nobody wants rock chips on their brand new Camaro, 2) the clearcoat is very brittle on our cars, easy to scratch even with careful washing techniques, and 3) it removes the stress of wanting to protect the paint but having to go to extreme lengths to do so.

The downside is cost, of course, but even partial coverage is much better than nothing. You will find many threads here discussing the matter.

Dashcam-wise, I have an older Blackvue DR900S-2CH 4K dual channel cam, Thinkware's offerings such as the U1000 are also great, and there is a host of other, cheaper options that use the same sensors. Not sure about your budget and preferences, but in my experience even 4K is barely good enough for plate recognition from a distance, anything cheap/low resolution and you'll need to be lucky to see plates close enough.
