But I got tired of worrying about the splitter. And I did get some big scratches under it. In the end I sold it for cash and bought an M6 LT1. It is more responsive driving with less weight and is splitter/spoiler free. Now I have 1LE tires/wheels on it and it is my favorite Camaro ever. And the handling is very close to the ZL1 and better on mountain roads. And it turns out a low 12 second car (12.10s!) is still a ton of fun on the street and easier to use that power on the street for a little fun. The only thing I miss about the ZL1 is occasionally making passengers pee themselves.

I think you should find a way to track the SS 1LE. It will put a smile on your face. Then decide if you want/need the ZL1.

So I have been saving up to upgrade to a zl1 in a few years. I actually just did my first ever track day in my SS and have decided this is something I want to do more of in my life. Because I want to track more often, I'm strongly considering getting a SS 1le instead. It's cheaper to buy and consumables cost less so that means I can track it more. I also feel as a novice I will enjoy it more on a track than I would a ZL1 Before making any decisions I strongly suggest doing a track day in your 1le before selling it or anything of that nature.

He was referring to the ZL1, not the ZLE (short-hand for ZL1 1LE), so the ZLE wheel sizes are irrelevant.

Yeah, the ZL1 rotors look pretty big until I park next to a new GT500! Those front rotors are 16.5”. They are massive. +110 hp and +240 lbs compared to an A10 ZL1, so definitely needed.
