But I knew I would receive backslash for not fulfilling the trim I was initially after instead of the trim I had to settle for at some point or another. Still happy though, im $10K richer settling for the LT1 over the 1LE. I never see a road course, im a street car that will grace the strip from time to time.
Just busting your chops, all in good fun. Wish I could have swung a 1LE or a ZL1 too.

Would have been a dream come true. Mortgage and home insurance is brutal here, have to earn double the income to enjoy such nice toys as the ZL1 out here.

^ this

plus the suitcase is somewhat aerodynamic in smoothing out airflow under the car, unlike other mufflers that let the current turn up against the diffuser

plus you want to ditch weight much rather from the front than the rear where you need all the traction you can get

This is true, but remaining stock with this delete won't create any serious issues. Its governed to 155mph anyway. I doubt any significant loss in ETs. I kept the suitcase just in case it failed.
