My ZL1 is an A10 model, so its different automagically from that. To be honest, the feel isn't that much different, except the normal ZL1 doesn't follow the road as much, and doesn't sit quite as low, and that clearance is handy (you still can't clear a curb when parking with either though). But then again, I never found the Z/28 to be much different in the typical roughness of the ride than any other camaro I've owned (which is probably ~20; I honestly don't remember...a camaro was the first car I've bought, and I've had a camaro almost constantly since 96).
Honestly I don't know HOW anyone thinks the ZL1 is more comfortable. The seats are more cramped (or at least they feel that way), they don't lean back as much, you just plain don't have as much space....I personally find the seats themselves pretty uncomfortable, and the one time I drove the car for a bit over an hour, my back actually hurt (I have no back problems or anything). Thats why I always say I'd never want to drive the thing for an hour or more (well, that and just general discomfort). The 5th gen recaros were much more comfortable, and cooler looking, imo...just not as many features (I personally have never used any heated or cooled seating features in any car I've owned that have them, so I could care less about that).
The feel of the NA power I like better as well; its not as quick to get to speed (even if you had the exact same hp/tq, it wouldn't "feel" as quick), even if you were to run a 1/4 at the same time, that supercharger will get you moving off the line much quicker, but NA just has a more old school feeling to it (needs a carb though lol).
All just my opinion though of course.
