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.

To get to 200+ whp from a stock ZL1 is not the same cost $

stock ss + 20K
sock zl1 + 20K

2 very diff cars and thats the only way we can take subjectivity out of it. no point really discussing this as OP just needs to decide dump more and more into an SS, or get a ZL1 and dump a little bit more. It's probably, give or take, the same total amount of $ to get either platform to 800ish whp including car cost + build cost. ZL1 is more up front, SS is more on the build

No one would? Those are literally your words... My car costs what a stock ZL1 does and far outperforms it.
