Trade Grand Sport for ZL1? Opinions please
So, I've had my 2LT MN7 GS for a year now as of Dec 2nd and put 10K great miles on it. Been seriously considering getting back into a Camaro as I immediately regretted letting my 16 SS go even though I'm a long time vette guy- this is number 5 for me. Something so special about the gen6, but I don't gotta tell you guys that. Thoughts and opinions as to trading the GS in on a new ZL1 (non 1LE).
Thanks |

Would you be looking at a manual or auto ZL1?

Keep the GS unless you want to go to a car with no miles again so you can drive it a bunch more.

Owning a c6z51 , C7 in the past and 5 th Gen Camaro I think c7 ride is little softer than 18 zl1. But 18 zl1 is not broke in but I can already tell performance and handling is on par .

[QUOTE=Zap city;10008151]Stick. Not an auto guy
Try the A10. I am a stick guy myself but this car in the A10 is really nice. I have a 13' ZR1 as well ( 27 Vettes since 1974 ) which I was able to keep and it's a real toss up as to which one I like more. The ZL1 is that good in my humble opinion

Do it. I got rid of my Z06 and I like the Zl1 better. I know, I'm in the minority here.

I would say if you want back into a Camaro the ZL1 is the way to go! Unless you want to wait until the 2019 refresh is revealed to see if the Z/28 will make a return.

Thanks for the insights. As for the A10, I have no interest in an automatic whatsoever, no matter how good it is. I'm working on being pretty close to a swap car for car at this point, or least, minimal trading difference for cash. My SS had mag ride, so I know how well the gen6 with mag handles and rides. Just wondering if I will ultimately be happy letting the vette go. I know I like my GS, but I LOVED my SS. Didn't know how much until I sold her to buy the vette.

I have a 5th Gen 1LE and I like to take my car to the track. So I've been looking for the last 6 months or so at moving to a C5 or C6 Corvette for the weight savings and better track oriented car. But I do wonder if I will end up missing my 1LE even though the Corvette would make a better track car. Good luck with your decision and ultimately only you can really decide which car you really prefer more.
