seeing as how as this is your daily driver, don't get one with the Z51 package. This is unless you plan on tracking the car. OF NOT, by getting one WITHOUT the Z51 package will do a couple of things for you. #1..it will get a fair amount better gas mileage (my daily driver NON-Z51 '15' averaged 28-29 mpg, I do a lot of highway driving), my new '17' Z51 daily driver only gets 25-26 mpg. #2..Cheeper to maintain. A NON-Z51 car only uses 6 qt's (plus oil filter) at an oil change, the Z51 car needs 10 qt's (actually only 9.5 qts ones in) and the filter.

as far as reliability goes.....I put 43000 miles on my '15' in a year and 8 months.....the ONLY thing I ever needed to do was have to oil/filter changed. I had a new set of tires put on at 41000.
