However, I wonder how realistic it would be for OP to "just trade for a regular ZL1" vs buying a second set of wheels and tires and lessening the problem, which IMO makes sense regardless of any ride quality issues.

totally makes sense as trading cars is not a good move. Just don't expect much help there.

run flats are a whole different animal. I've got two sets of tires both GY and Michelin and swap back and forth regular. It just makes no difference.
More sidewall would be the only way to go IMO... like toss some 18" wheels on.

If you've ever been on a road course you understand you can have alot of different surface conditions. One size does not fit all when it comes to suspension in that regard.
Looks like having a second set of wheels with some PS4S is the way to go for street at this point.

I have PS4s and they are a great option for the street. Probably the best IMO because they are also good for AutoX and cold tire stuff, but please don't expect much difference in stiffness or make the investment just for that. If you daily it... definitely go for PS4s and sell me your take-offs. Those GY tires are killer on the track after they heat up.
GM was super clear about their intentions with this car and it's not all about DSSV. There is zero rubber in any of your bushings too. Only rubber in the suspension is your tires. There were a lot of things done that are track focused only when you get the 1LE package.
This suspension is adjustable for those road track conditions you mentioned. Sway bars, Camber and yes DSSV up and down to a degree. Like no other Camaro ever produced.
