Here's my thoughts...

For me, the fun comes in modifying the car and making it out to be something unique and "you".

I haven't had the time to sink a lot of mods into my current SS due to two very young kids and other "grown up" priorities now that place buying that next cool mod for the Camaro much further down the priority list than it used to be.

Before this car, I had a 2010 Camaro RS with the V6. Yeah "just a V6" since I felt like the SS at time wasn't a good financial move, but also at that time I was either single, or married with no kids, and the Camaro was more or a priority. My financial situation improved, and rather than trading her off on an SS, I did lots of mods (visual and performance) over time. For me, that kept things exciting over a longer period, and also made the car "mine". I said back then that I wouldn't have traded it even straight up for any plane jane SS, and I stick by that today.

Maybe with that in mind, you can keep your SS and start doing things every now and then to keep it interesting, and end up with a car you love more than a stock ZL1. Of course, if you end up sinking in 15 or 20K in mods (lol I'm not talking that much!) then it really ends up about the same financially, so don't go overboard lol.
