Mag shocks and big ass Brembos can't hide that much mass completely even though Chevy has done (from what I've read) a wonderful job of trying to compensate for it. Not to mention much more weight being up front versus the 'Vette at 50/50 (actually, I've read that it may be more like 49/51 once everything is finaled in production).

Then again, bench racing is wonderful - I'm sure someone will run an instrumented comparison on the two at some point
I am keeping my ZL1 without a doubt. Always said I would own a Corvette one day. Then Chevy hit it out of the park with the ZL1 for me. The car is a head turner and a beast performer... But, dang, that Stingray is HOT! My wife is saving for a C7. Muscle and Sport, Best of both worlds if she gets one!
