As far as OP car making roughly 520whp as an SS, his car is maxed out without dropping large $ on fueling, cooling, forged internals etc. At that point just get a ZL1 is he's considering taking the next step

No contest to the fact that a ZL1 straight out the gate is more cost effective. This isn't the question here, though.
At this point, however, we've reached subjective territory. My current setup with 735 rwhp is absolutely night and day vs a stock SS and it's much faster than a stock ZL1, too. However, I rode in 900-1000 rwhp modded ZL1s, and those are the only Camaros that I feel are yet another notch higher up the "crazy pole". So to me, personally, a 200 rwhp difference (starting from sub-1000) is where "night and day" kicks in, but to someone else a much smaller gain could be life changing, too. As I said, subjective stuff.
Corner speed and out of corner acceleration depends heavily on tires and suspension, too, a properly supercharged SS 1LE is very close, if not better than a stock ZL1.
