You play with the numbers and get back to me....

Until then, remember these little factoids:

MOST cars are not investments. They are money pits. You NEVER see the money put in a car. Especially a moded car. Your ZL1 has already lost 6-10K for example. That would bring it down to... ummm… ohh... the price of a loaded 2SS, huh?

Weakest link in the drivetrain? Same as it has been in Camaro's for years.. the rear end. Not to hard to fix. The mod parts are out there. Throw 3-4K on the mod money list if you need to. It's STILL cheaper than a ZL1 and now I have a bullet proof rear end.
Second problem, cast pistons. 650whp seems to be the limit there. But, that's all you need because....

The 1LT body is lighter than the ZL1 (and the Hellcat). Every 100 lbs is a .10th. I'm guessing you could get a 33xx 1LT weigh in. Add the SC, strip some stuff and be in @ 3500 tops (preferably 3.4K). Compare that to your tub of lardmobile crushing the scales @ a 3883+ curb weight.

TRIVIA TIME!

Did you know that a 90's, full size, 4 door Caprice weighs about the same as your ZL1?

Go ahead, now, play with that calculator and see the et's.
Oh, ya! As a bonus, less mass to put in motion is easier on the drivetrain.
And it's all in a plain jane, I4 looking Camaro.
I just want to say that the way you post to make your points makes you seem like a real douchebag.
