Trade up to a ZL1 to actually see a tangible upgrade in terms of enjoyment, the 2020 SS has few appreciable differences. Colorwise I can heartily recommend garnet red after your hyper blue

Thanks for all the good suggestions. Upon further reflection and realizing that going from a ‘17 to a ‘20 1LE would be silly, I picked up my new ZL1, with M6. yesterday.

I DD an 03 Cobra for about 3.5 years. It wasn't the fastest car out there only being your typical 500 whp/500 lb-ft bolton Terminator, but it was strong, made power everywhere in its curve, and back in the mid-2000 that was a good bit of power for a DD. People say you get used to the power a car makes, but I never got bored with that car, and it never felt slow to me. I was always impressed with its power and acceleration for how refined and trouble free it was when just riding around. It made passing people driving slow on a 2 lane road a fun affair so to speak. Anyway the point I'm getting at about my Terminator is that a positive displacement blower car makes for a very fun street car. (I've had my GEN2 Lightning for many years) If a ZL1 responds to mods the way a Terminator does you'll love it. The HP gains per dollar, and per simple mods is very rewarding, especially for the reliability and streetability that come with them. Have fun with it, just remember to respect the power they are capable of producing with a few mods. Last edited by JROC; 02-15-2020 at 09:41 AM. |

If you are riding a zx 14 R , then the Upgrade to a ZL1 from the 1 SS was a no brainer ...you definitely have the need for speed ...a pic of the 2 beasts side by side would be nice

Good job, especially with how low miles you had didn't seem to make sense to get basically the same car. I been fighting the Zl1 upgrade myself. But I would have to go used and I am scared to give up the new car I bought and know for a used 1 I don't know.
