The Elite model of the ZL1 is extensively modified in terms of body work and mechanical purposes. The body work is heavily orientated towards purposes of acceleration as the rear spoiler has been replaced with a "whale tail" wing designed to increase rear traction and reduce high speed oversteer. The alterations continue with a superimposed V mouth across the front bumper, removed fog lights, widened front air intake, two visible radiators behind the front bumper, a heavy-set chin spoiler and excessively flared wheel arches.
The body modifications continue with alternative head lights with red outer edges, a wheelie bar and a rear diffuser. The interior is stripped bare of all equipment in favour of an aftermarket driver seat, a complex roll cage and a large nitrous bottle. It features a distinct set of additional exclusive aftermarket parts such as 18 inch Center Line Style B wheels, widened rear tyres, a stage 3 lowering kit, an "Elite" flame style neon kit and an "ELITE" licence plate.
The performance of the Elite variant is reminiscent of that of the standard model. However, the Elite variant has a significantly more powerful nitrous boost and a higher top speed for better performance in Drag races.
