You get to play with your great new ZL1 on the track and fall in love with it. It will be a great track car.

If you want to add some of the suspension bits later, you can.

I'm sure you are excited about getting it on the track!

COTA is on my bucket list and it will happen. All I've done so far is a parade lap.

1st track day is April 8 & 9 if it ever gets here. Can't wait.

I really want the revised 6th gear. Living in the mountains of WV, even the interstates have hills that can lug the engine (in 6th). I'd rather not have to downshift just to slightly accelerate from 70 MPH.

When available, I plan to swap the red brake calipers and wheels. The brake calipers should be easy, but the wheels will likely need to be narrowed an inch to fit up front with the MRC.

As for the DSSV, I'm thinking that may pose a problem if you want to keep the BCM/ECM happy.

Why are you all the way up that high in the gears at only 70? You can do 60 in first and I've done 155 in 4th.

Let's not derail the thread here, but I'm pretty sure the intended purpose of 6th is a gas saver at highway speeds. The max speed limit across most of the United States is 70 MPH. Surely 6th gear is okay to use at 70 MPH, and it normally works just fine at that speed. I was just commenting that having a little more leverage in 6th would be nice for WV interstate driving.

You are gonna love your ZL1 on COTA. Took me much of the event to learn it....but once you have the line down it is fast & fun!

Hope March goes quickly for you...

I didn't mean to ask you to defend it. And I certainly didn't call your post stupid. You are right, you don't have to defend anything. I was just more curious than anything about your perspective.

My bad. Sorry, Dude.

All Good Man, no sweat, Enjoy the ride!

FNxR3DNECK · 03-02-2017, 09:06 PM

Holy shit that looks good in red!!!! And the wing looks a lot lower from that angle! Also no clear/black 3rd brake light on that one.

I don't think its the angle...that wing is sitting way lower, adjustable?

I realized this after starring at the pics for like 5 min haha yea it's definitely lower, and I like it more with it low like this!

Yeah, and now i'm questioning if it is just the angle

I tend to agree that wing does not appear as aggressive for some reason...that car has sexy lines.
