However, the M6 is much more engaging though. The issue is that tall gearing that is hard to appreciate on the street but all the torque is nice since it will pull in any gear. You will notice the LT4 performance more on the higher speed pulls but you obviously are looking over your shoulder when doing those.

I think you should go drive an SS 1LE with the M6 and see what you think. If the shorter gearing and little less weight of the SS makes you happy then you can trade the ZL1 for an SS1LE and not take a big hit. After owning all these Camaros, the SS 1LE is the sweet spot IMO. The A10 is great but I just get bored automatics in a sports car.
Yes, you were correct, I think the gearing compared to the A10 is throwing me off. I actually owned a 2022 SS 1LE with a manual… I thought the M6 ZL1 and the M6 SS 1LE had the same gearing? Am I wrong?
