I actually was looking at a Vette, in fact I even contemplated a Z, but while I was at the dealer and saw the Camaro and I really loved how it looked, and for more than a few reasons it plays out for me personally.
This thread is a good discussion, do I really want a ZL1? Or would I be as happy and maybe even happier having saved some money, not worrying if the car is scratched, or letting my kid drive it and still getting 8/10ths of the performance and I can arguably able to drive it harder on a regular basis??? Its really a compelling car, and I can't think of another comparable situation with another manufacturer where there is this kind of competition between two performance cars from the same manufacturer. Its pretty cool really. You swapped, whats your story?
And people are not afraid of power, its just the law of diminishing return. A Zl1 is 30-40% more expensive has 30+% more power but performs less than 10% better.

The ZL1 is worth every penny it costs. If you get rebates and/or a dealership that is willing to drop the price a bit then it is even more of a deal. Even if it is only less than a 10% performance difference, then that 10% feels like 10,000%. I drove the 6th Gen SS and it felt about the same as my 5th Gen FBO SS as far as straight line performance goes. It did handle and brake much better tho. However the ZL1 felt leaps and bounds over the SS. It isn't even a close match up.
