I guess it's a coin flip between the 18 ZL1 and 18 ZL1 1LE. Probably going to be which one I can get for the best price. We'll see what magic Becky can work tomorrow.
I plan on leaving this one completely bone stock, so the suspension upgrades on the 1LE are appealing. I don't think I can come around on the wing though, maybe I'll swap decklids... I have a manual 5th gen drag car (LSX B-15 F1-A procharged with all the goodies) so going with another stick car is fine, but I'm interested in the A10 as this will be more of a daily driver. Really can't go wrong with any of them, it's a freaking ZL1, but I'm really torn! Tough problem to have, right.

I would get the A10 1LE. The stiff ride can’t be as stiff as my Tacoma PRO

As far as stiffness, it really depends on how the roads are where you live and drive. We drove mine back to Houston from Detroit and it was an awesome ride on decent freeways. However, around the city of Detroit I lost half my teeth. We have nice roads where I'm at so it's not an issue but in certain areas it can get crazy rough. Infotainment 3 is a nice upgrade. The seat backs recline further in the 19 which is nice if you're going to make this a summer driver. Pretty sure the tune is better as far as the bog issues the 18's have. Also, the hood wrap is a better shade and quality as far as water spots and such. |

I never thought I’d consider a 6th gen or an automatic. My post history would clearly reflect my “hesitancy” to say the least. But here I am, now considering both. Lol...

Because the majority are going by magazine reviews. Listen to those that have the car. Not the ones that drove their buddies car, or was told this and that.

Great point. The ones who have it seem to largely say the ride is certainly stiffer, but not too awfully rough. Agreed? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

When I test drove the ZLE before I got my SS 1LE, I had an M3 with Ohlin coilovers and in comparison the ZLE was nicer and smoother. Fast forward 8 mths after having the SS 1LE with MRC and test driving the ZLE, I thought is was harsh and too much for the street. The point is you can get used to anything unless you have a medical condition or a jacked back. MRC does spoil you though, it has great ride quality AND great damping/composure.

That is not a true statement. Sure you might get a better time in an auto, but the reward from driving a manual is so much sweeter. You will however be required to drive the car. The 1LE is certainly not the choice for drag racing. The regular ZL1 is the right choice if you want to do everything.

The ride is harsh. I couldn't wait to get through the break in mileage. Now the car is a dedicated track car. On the track is where a ZL1 1LE belongs.
