I figure I would start the thread not so much because people are interested in my personal flip flopping, but because there seems to be a lot of people calling around, looking at options similar to those that I was looking at. For me, decision finally made.

What finally sealed the deal was Becky and her thread delivering her Hyper Blue ZL1.
I want one... even if it is going to be too late for the season start.

And the "A10 Owner review" helped sway me. It seemed like the A10 could be fun with the paddles and shifter while fast like I wanted as well.

Decision made.

Sounds like you don't particularly care for your GT3's...street comfortability? I think you would do well with ZL1 w/ MRC. You can track it just fine and still enjoy the street. Then in a couple years, if you think you want the 1LE, they will be available.

Spot on

Hey bud, totally stoked for you! I don't think you'll come to regret it one bit. Dollars count and I think the ZL1-1LE is going to tack on $10,000. The ZL1 is still going to be a more capable car than any other out there and having it in experienced hands such as yours....well I don't know how the choice can be a wrong one. Same with the A10/M6 conversation. I'm only using 2 gears in 80% of the track situations so we can focus on driving and not gear selection.

I had one pretty clear lap Sunday after learning the course and I can tell you that the car is out of my league. The driver is it's only limit in my situation and I'm certain you have more experience than me. The mag ride is indescribable. You can see the difference from the first video I showed you. The car just speeds up your learning curve dramatically! Take a look:

I look forward to seeing your videos that much sooner!!!

I canceled when two things happened at once. First the ZL1 1LE was announced and I finally got a TWP for 3/27. The 3/27 date with shipping, suspension adjustments, Xpel and break in would mean I would not be race ready for the season start. I canceled my order to take time to reevaluate my options. I will cover those options separately.

I just posted a red one in KY no roof A10 with PDR.

Heads up!!

Not after the ordering process of the ZL1. Once there is one sitting on a dealer lot, them maybe.

Yes. At least 2 Hyper Blues and one Mellow Yellow prowling the state.

I saw that. Good configuration and it would get me started for the season, but I am not going to look back. Blue is my favorite color even if I have to drive 1500 miles for break in all in one road trip to use the ordered ZL1 properly for summer.

People will probably wonder why I would be keep changing speeds and revs going down the highway during break in. I plan to look like an idiot, but no over 4000 RPMs or constant speeds as I am getting it ready to race.

Hey man, if I have to read another 300 posts regarding your indecisiveness i'm gonna need some good weed.

Snakedriver · 03-07-2017, 10:09 PM

The ZL1 1LE is the better track car and worth the wait if your doing a lot of road courses. I want a driver without a wing and a A10.

Does that mean I should be looking for a commission check?

That's exactly what I've been doing.
