I specifically bought a z51 instead of the GS. I don't think the price difference is justified for just the wide body. I added the aero pieces I wanted.

difference on the track is night and day. Difference on the street is nominal.

16 Z51 to 17 GS

Actually, my 16 had ARM that worked below 16mph. GM took that away for some stupid reason I can't fathom.

It's more than just being a wide body, but sure.

I had a base 2014 Stingray first and now own a 2017 GS. I wouldn't go back. Better ride, better on the track, and better appearance. Move on up!

I intentionally bought an '18 Stringray to minimize all the "stuff" I could; things others are more than happy to pay extra for, I'd pay to avoid!

(I got two, yes 2, options--black wheels and black badges, all of the latter I removed but the front and back "crossed flags.")
