People have confused my SS for a ZL1 asking how much the ZL1 set me back.
My GTO is more of a head turner than my Camaro because there are so few of them still on the road.

This is what I was going to post, a Camaro can be outfitted with a 4-cylinder, a V6, a NA V8, and then the V8-SC. Aside from the different visual trim pieces, only a real auto enthusiast will know what each trim means.
The Corvette, and the Supra are both niche performance vehicles and are less common. The thing that makes the top Camaros a performance bargain is also what makes them less special on the road. If GM decided to only make the ZL1, I suspect that it would be marked up much higher as manufacturing costs would be more expensive.
Keep the ZL1 long enough and you'll see prices climb. Around that time, you'll get the current younger owners that couldn't swing a ZL1, but remember the nostalgia of their 4-cylinder or V6 Camaro, and they'll have more resources to go after a ZL1.
Also, I haven't had crazy compliments but I don't take the car out that often. I think most people think that it's just a run-of-the-mill Camaro with some bodywork, which is fine by me. The guy in an Infiniti G35 a few weeks ago realized it wasn't a run-of-the-mill Camaro.
