I don’t diy but once I add drop in pistons, rods and rings and the upgraded fuel system, I might be fractionally higher than buying a new ZL1. I will be much more upgradable and faster at that point.
If I had the ZL1, I would still need to upgrade the internals, change the blower...and since I would need to upgrade the internals, I would change the cam...I guess I would say, the car is just a starting spot and depending on what you want to do with the car, it’s all about the same.
At the end, cars are not investments, they are for fun. Maybe I will do the Z next, but at that base price, I probably move back to a Vette and keep my Camaro SS convertible that will smoke the ZL1 for the fun with kids in back seat.
Probably the decision on “stupid vs not-stupid” is a personal thing based on discretionary income. Again, looking forward to seeing someone on the ZL1 fast list proving you right...maybe that will cause me to change my opinion.
