Get more miles on your ZL1, Greg! I think you will see a difference once the engine gets broken in with more miles.

However, the M6 is much more engaging though. The issue is that tall gearing that is hard to appreciate on the street but all the torque is nice since it will pull in any gear. You will notice the LT4 performance more on the higher speed pulls but you obviously are looking over your shoulder when doing those. I think you should go drive an SS 1LE with the M6 and see what you think. If the shorter gearing and little less weight of the SS makes you happy then you can trade the ZL1 for an SS1LE and not take a big hit. After owning all these Camaros, the SS 1LE is the sweet spot IMO. The A10 is great but I just get bored automatics in a sports car.

I completely agree that the two are very different cars. My first ZL1 was the A10 and there are things about it I did like, mainly the quick shifts, but I love the manual trans in my 1LE. Not only does it make driving the car more fun, but the transmission itself is phenomenal (especially after swapping out the OEM fluid for some Amsoil).

FYI, the C7 Corvette Z51/Grand Sport M7 is geared even lower than the TR6060, which improves acceleration a little more and IMO makes it more fun to row on the street. Watch the clip from Jason on the Blackwing starting at 15:20 below as he points out what I am saying.

The C7 Z06 has the same gear ratios as the Camaro ZL1.
