The ZL1 isn't a dedicated track car so it does everything well (triple threat). The ZL1-1LE sacrifices in two areas to dominate in the other and Chevy says straight out that its not for everyone.

OK however, you did state Tech and dilemma which equates to limp mode.

So I ask Al when he was at the WPB BJ Auction if the ride of the ZL1 1LE was about the same as the Gen5 Z/28 which I also owned prior to selling it once I got my '17 ZL1. He said it "can be" or it can be "tighter" and/or "less forgiving" depending on the setup the owner has in the car (just that line right there gets me excited, a car that comes configurable from the factory....sigh). From the factory, the ride will be similar to the Gen5 Z/28 BUT with all the creature comforts and power of the Gen6 ZL1 which will result in Camaro PERFECTION as far as I am concerned. The Gen5 Z/28 was not that bad on the road. Was it a Cadillac? No. Was it miserable? Absolutely not. I am 50+ years old and loved every minute in that car whether I was on the track or on my way to/from the track. My only complaint was it was a little under powered compared to my Gen5 ZL1. Having that addressed is all I needed to hear. IMHO, the ZL1 1LE is still a triple threat with a little more emphasis in one of the areas than the standard Gen6 ZL1 which I own and love.

Congrats to Chevy and the Camaros design team!!!! What a super car destroyer. This car is really faster and better than any Ferrari save the subjective looks and reputation.
God bless America!! |

This is a true super car/sports car now. Any journalist that continues to deny that fact is probably a CNN or MSNBC contributor as well having a bias on display for all the world to see.

I 'think' the A10 will be able to consistently beat the 1LE in the 1/4 if what we are seeing from members and early 1LE times stay consistent...I'm not a big 1/4 mile guy & did think the bigger tire / dig may be a factor & in favor for the 1LE too, but not so sure now. I'm just assuming the extra downforce may the drawback there, but let's be honest...The 1LE was made to shine in the turns. |
