Agreed.

Then again zero experience with 1LE yet so forgive my arm chair expertise here LOL!
Yes, I am more concerned about the front camber since it's the one that affects the handling/turning more and the required amount of camber or lack thereof.

As you may know, strut type suspension requires more camber to begin with as it won't maintain as much as the double wishbone setup. I wouldn't call the -3.0 aggressive (the min recommended amount for Hoosiers) , aggressive would be something like -3.7 camber like the DSSV allows or even more

Again, no experience with 1LE yet but in my previous life with Stangs and most recently Vettes
2.6-2.8F and 1.5-1.6R seemed plenty for even wear - slicks included. Also keep in mind that R camber will affect your acceleration in all phases. And of course, amount of caster plays an important role re maintaining set camber values. Cheers!

IMO all 1LE content needs to be in once place...LT, SS, ZL1, whatever...all the track package cars should share the 1LE section.

The only thing the cars all share in common is the badging and the black hood wrap. Other than that, the cars are different enough that you're not really benefiting anything in terms of organization by lumping them together.

But, alas...I do not have my way.


Back on point, thank you for posting those images, unavailable NB2017ZL1 - Awesome!!

I agree regarding the breakdown of 1LE sub forums.

The ZL1 1LE is "as unique" as what a Z/28 would have been....It's the top track/purpose model....

There is a separate 6thGen Z/28 forum for a car that doesn't even exist and probably won't exist....The ZL1 1LE should absolutely have it's own separate forum ....

It would be nice if we could get a rendering of the different colors for the 1LE. So far, I've only seen pics or videos of the the white, red, and black. I would like to see this car in HBM to see how the black contrasts with the colors. At least a few more looks before our already placed orders are finalized.

I love the look of the 1LE wing and all. But I really want a car that can be driven anytime. So I think the standard ZL1 will work great.
