There might not be. But it wouldn't be any skin off of GM's nose. You have an already established assembly line with all these parts available. No special parts ordered/warehoused. If they sold only 10, it's not like they have to be kicked over to SLP for "factory upgrades/mods" It runs down the line using and it would be like any other car that was ordered.

This thinking I do not understand. Either the ZL1 rubber comes on the car, or you buy aftermarket stuff. Most people do not run factory tires on the track anyway.

But somebody would buy it.

Just like the ZL1, or the 1LE option, isn't for everyone. I personally don't care for either. The ZL1 is way too heavy and has way too much junk on it for me. You like it? Cool! The ZL1 drivetrain in a 1LT body awesome. 650 horses in a 3-400 lb. lighter car? That would be crazy fast right off the showroom floor. Just lie the 69 ZL1'S were.
Some are more muscle car guys and some are more track car guys. Whatever floats your boat.

Even though it would probably be an easy thing to do, I don't see it happening either. Not from the factory anyway. GM isn't going to upstage their show pony.
