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.

Agreed on most of what you said, just again we get to the same argument. Dumping X amount of $ into an ss 1le to be at best, marginally better than a stock zl1 which at that point, the zl1 would likely cost less & gives you that much more of a platform to work with.
Both are great options whichever direction someone goes, time and budget usually are the constraints why one picks one over the other. Ego too I guess, it's same argument the m340 guys have with the m3 guys and vice versa. At the end of the day one is an ///m or ZL1 and the other isn't.
