Not if it's been used by a dude like you (based on your avatar), or me! The majority of ZLEs I see listed have very low miles and are advertised as having no track time.

The real question is "Can you".....

I've been "Shut up and take my money" status for a while now....GM... you listening?

If I can get what I'm looking for without a ginormous mark up, yes.

Crazy to think just 4 months ago I got 1000s off of mine

That is. I was happy to get my SS at exactly sticker considering the markup on everything.

A month ago I was looking for a new ZL1, any ZL1, within a 1000 mile radius and there were only a couple available. 99% were already sold, and a couple that were not the dealers wanted $5K to $10K markup. I told them I would not pay over MSRP under any circumstances.

In the end I got my SS 1LE for $1200 under MSRP and I'm very happy to have found it.

The C8 Z06 is a good match for the regular GT3, with the daily edge going to the C8 still, but too many people buy the "hard" cars not realizing how "hard" they are...in terms of ride.

I might be the exception, I daily mine. I've put 34k miles on it over 1.5 years. Bought it brand new Feb '22 with 3 miles. Being a career Marine, I've been in vehicles with much, much harsher rides lol

I feel the same, as I learned about the CT5-V BW, I really think that would have been the car for me but that price is almost $30k more than the ZL1 1LE.


But at the same time, I'm very happy with my ZLE.

I believe whatever you're looking at, the ZL1 with its brilliant powerful LT4 engine is absolutely deserving the attention of anyone considering "real" American muscle. IMHO with its powerful LT4 engine & RWD, the ZL1 may be the last of the true, real examples, of classic U.S. muscle.

It depends on the person. The question is would you buy one as your next performance car…. My answer to that was 100% yes. In terms of it being livable day to day. It’s a firm ride, I love it. What’s less livable for some may be the car in general. If you’re old the ingress and egress are likely a far bigger issue. Seems like lots of complaints about overall sight lines out of the car.
For me it would be a perfect daily driver, except for one issue. I love the tire and wheel package but Chevrolet should have designed a proper lip and or rock guards to protect the body and paint. I hate all the aftermarket products available, nothing like OEM engineering, designed with the aid of a wind tunnel.
