To the OP, I think you probably should have gone with a standard ZL1. Still very capable, but more livable. A set of R-compounds and 1LE aero, and I don’t think it would be that much slower at the track. |

Um.... it’s expensive, but get like an Audi S4 3rd car? That’s what I have, or even a Colorado ZR2 for less money, rides like a Cadillac.

You bought the wrong trim. It's a track focused car, not a touring car. Racecar suspension. Trade in for a ZL1, especially if you're not going to track it often.

I know a couple of guys have tackled turning the the regular ZL1 into the 1LE with the dive planes & wing...I'm still amazed the difference in suspension from tour to track with a push of the button & I'm certain your wife will appreciate the improvements. This is really the best option you have. I drop in tour whenever the wife happens to go out in mine but it's not that often to avoid the grinch'n I know would come.
Problem is I see you hit the track quite often & the 1LE is the better animal...do you have an opportunity to track a standard Z to see if worth considering?? Hey brother, at least these are 1st world problems!! Quote:

I think people are reading the title and skipping the message because everyone seems to think I'm unhappy with the car. I love my ZL1 1LE, it's not going anywhere, I'm just looking for temporary options to make my wife less reluctant to choose my car over hers when we go out and I'm driving
- I do track my cars. - I don't mind the NVH Quote:

I'm happy with the car, the desire to soften the ride is just for my wife.

If this is your street car (as you told us before), trade it for a ZL1. Happy wife is happy life and she will enjoy the ZL1 much more, guaranteed!

But I'm not trading it in. I'd rather just suck it up and drive her car for the family outings. I think the first steps are: - Try tires (easy to switch out for the track) - Try 200lbs in the trunk (seriously). I'm guessing that will get me close enough to a compromise with my wife She loves me, she'll give up some comfort and I'll give up some handling haha

Punishing ride. Neighbo took me in his to pick mine up. Rides like a roller coaster and motor sounds like cats doing the dirty. A lot of them. At once

But I also like the way it handles and I do track my car enough to justify (to myself) owning it over the ZL1. Honestly my favorite thing about the ZL1 1LE over the ZL1 is the front end snappiness. I test drove a ZL1 first (before the 1LE) and it was excellent. Then I drove the ZL1 1LE and I could immediately tell the difference. - Nimblier - Turn-in response - Flatter I loved my Z06 w/ Z07 -- I bought the Z07 package because I wanted the sharper handling for the track. I was concerned that when switching to a ZL1 (or ZL1 1LE) that I'd be giving up a lot. With the ZL1 I felt like I was switching to a much nicer ride, with the ZL1 1LE I felt like I was getting a better handling car. Unfortunately I never tracked my Z06, it had engine problems. I will track my ZL1 1LE
