At least those LT 1LE wheels are forged, my guess is that’s the only reason they chose them as to not impede on SS 1LE wheel territory

I guess the good news is my cars stock just ticked up another notch.
What Dodge did pretty much blows all of GM’s excuses out of the water. Tough to stomach if you’re a lifelong Chevy guy.

I just received an email from Chevy. 350 ZL1 CE’s, but only 300 for the U.S. That’s even worse news for those wanting one.

So are you mad that they're not doing special ZL1 wheels or what? Do you think that if they did special wheels or an LT5 that folks wouldn't overpay for it? I guess I'm confused as to what exactly you're disappointed in.
Disappointed in that the ZL1 Black Panther edition costs $15k when it only has different paint (matte vs metallic), limited run and some kind of watch I've never heard of.

They could have kept the 1LE bits off and not include the watch.

People are going to overpay for this regardless if it was just a limited run with only different paint or like how it is now.

I'm not one of those crying for the LT5 or a power increase in the ZL1. I like the ZL1 the way it is. Always have.

This right here.
I’m disappointed but also not surprised.

Doesn't it have the cf wing from the 1LE?

It's not worth $15k but it will look good I'm sure. Too bad it doesn't have another 100 hp to boot

Do you think the 50 are all going to Canada, or will some go to other countries?

Wow, that’s like $115k CND ( nearly 2x our 1Ss 1LE) but will be rare here with less than 50 available ( assume some overseas or Mex)…….

The picture shows it does but it's not annotated in the article. It may look good but without the canards it'll look meh.

The canards along with the bigger splitter and rear spoiler gives the ZL1 1LE its menacing look.

Looks great, such a nice color. This is the exact spec I ordered, but still sitting at 1100 a year later. I found a new ZLE nearby and grabbed it last week, still waiting for delivery. Can't wait!!

I typed out 50 different responses. I got mine and don't need another one.

Good on gm for making $5-1/4 million on the Panther ZL1
