I find it super interesting that the baseline car 'happens' to be exactly 2:00.00 lap....
My guess is there was more than just engineering talk at the round table.. |

If they were making up the numbers as you suggest, don't you think the top dog ZL1 1LE kit would have done better than the much less expensive lowering/handling kit?

Not to mention, if they were just going to make something up it wouldn't have taken nearly as long for them to generate an answer.

I went with the 1LE kit with front strut tower brace for my 2017 2SS. It was an amazing handling improvement.
When I switched from the stock Goodyear tires to Michelin PS4s it was almost that much better again. Besides amazing amounts of grip, the ride is much better. I imagine due to the softer side wall. They put me back in touch with the car. The stock Goodyear tires are junk. I switched because the tread tore apart on the right rear. No foreign object intrusion, simply pulled a 1" section of tread apart. A side note; the 1LE kit was installed 3 - 4 months after purchasing the car new. I measured ride height before installation and after installation I did 2 weeks of daily driving then measured again. The kit lowered my ride height by 1/2". The car has settled another 1/4" since then for a total of 3/4" drop in ride height. |

If nothing else, doing that makes the mental math to get where the various kits stand relative to the 1LE in terms of "seconds per minute" a lot easier. Norm

My observation was simply that the lap times seemed 'doctored' a little bit. I can GUARANTEE you that I can drive a ZL 1LE DSSV car faster around a track than a 2SS mag ride with the elsd. I would absolutely be faster than the 4.25 sec/min DEFICIT they are suggesting. So yeah...something not right Last edited by D K; 12-28-2018 at 11:13 AM. |

Actually, they would do exactly that. They would rather promote a kit that they can sell a 1000 of, rather than a very expensive kit that only a few of us would want. |

Add the ZL1 1LE wheel/tire kit or even the SS 1LE wheel/tire kit and I'd believe it.
