This is her loving the ZL1. She took a corner once fishtailing, hit second while still in the corner and still fishtailing. All the while in complete control and she was laughing the whole time.

I'm in the same boat but got time to see how it's going to play out...I resigned two weeks ago thus turning in my company truck. I put 100k miles in just 14 months on that 18 / F150 & while I loved the folks I worked for / with & customers it's not something I want to do coming into my 50's & fam wanted me off the road. I simply have always had & need a 4wd truck for my lifestyle. This Z was my very first real sports car & hope to keep it, but just depends on the new gig. Good thing is I'm debt free so no mortgage / vehicle payments. Ins is paid up till March & staying busy with my side biz, so really in no big hurry & all depends on the new gig.
Figure my options are another with use of a company truck, buying a good used one or trading as you did. (Like the choice!!) I can use the wife's Tahoe for the time being to cover any bird hunts or trips to the ranch I'm doing now. |

So far, this 6.2L is getting 23+ MPG on the highway and has 300 miles on it now. It will only get better. Still breaking that motor in.

The trucks dont have the same engine as an SS. It has a 6.2 yes but it's not the same. The Z71 uses the L87 apposed to the LT1

I know, you are correct it is the L87. Probably lower compression ratio, lower redline to be sure.

I put 456 gears front & rear & had it tuned ( CAI & exhaust ). It is extremely quick off the line now ( was not the real purpose of the gears- mainly because being sluggish with lift & tires ), but I have more fun with the truck because people always challenge it, and get dusted. My ZL1 I had Vengence Racing do the 850 package & no one ever comes near it. I would suggest the 410 gears, would be best. |
