They didnt really build many 2019 ZR1's and they could have made a limited amount of LT5 camaros. Its not without precedent. Under 1000 LT5 ZL1's wouldnt have made much if any impact on corvette sales. In fact, it would have pushed me to buy a new camaro instead of keeping what I have.

I'm not saying that a potential Corvette owner is going to buy a Camaro instead, I'm saying that it might keep them from buying a Corvette, which is different. It would be you going out to buy something that you think is the best, but seeing a "lesser product" perform better. When you spend premium money, you want the illusion of superiority. Hell, I considered the Ct5-V BW for all of a week. But, given that I could get 325/334ths of the powertrain at almost 40% off, and didn't have to wait a year, or pay $10k over MSRP I figured it was a no brainer. The beauty of us "settling" for the Camaro's LT4 over the CT5-V BW is that it isn't going to cost us that much to get 18 HP.
