My wife is not quite as enthused about it though but she can’t drive a manual and doesn’t want to learn so her loss. Lol! The C8’s have been losing their value quickly so I felt like it was time now to try something different. I was at least fortunate to buy my C8 at sticker in 2022 so I didn’t lose as much as some. It was a fun ride but I can always go back. If I ever go back it would probably be an ERay but it’ll be a while before I even start thinking about again.
I did go to to Rick Hendricks and Malcolm Cunningham Chevy in Alpharetta and they seemed nice and knowledgeable enough.
Vengeance racing is right down the road from me so that’s a good option to have too.
Side note, we seriously looked at moving to Knoxville, but Alpharetta won.
Keep me in mind if you’re ever close by. I’d love to see your ride in person. It sounds amazing.

Got it, this makes perfect sense. The C8 Stingray's 0-60 is only quicker because we can't put the power down with that beautiful 376 sitting up front
, once my car gets going, it's like a freight train.
And, mine is an automatic that slightly dampens the hit in 2nd or 3rd gear even with the transmission tune changes. I have ridden in beefed up (900+ hp) manual ZL1s, and the manual is even more visceral, scared the living daylights out of me, as it should.
You'll have a ton of fun with the ZL1. If you can swing it, mod it in phases like I did, that way it feels like an almost new car every time, the only major downside is that if you can't do all the labor yourself (like yours truly who is a wee amateur still), it compounds quickly with each mod.
I'll hit you up next time I have business in Chattanooga oir Atlanta and the weather is nice enough, not like what's coming later this week
