(4.0 sec 0-60 vs 3.5 sec 0-60) Anything else that matters is on the track... Don't get me wrong, I love the ZL-1, but I feel if you aren't tracking it you are probably paying for something you aren't really going to be able to enjoy...
But that's just my opinion...

Agree with what you're saying for the most part.
. I ALWAYS wanted a Camaro since I was 16 years old, but my life direction(joining the military/getting out), odd jobs, bills, etc(life in general) prevented me from owning one. FINALLY at age 44 and with my wife's blessing she let me order my dream Camaro
. I knew it would never be a daily and never be on the track, but I also knew if I was going to get one, it was going to be the top trim available which was the ZL1 for me. I'll most likely never "use" the 650hp alot but it sure is nice to have and alot of fun when I feel like being "spirited"...and it's safe to do so. SS's are ABSOLUTELY nice cars and great values as well, but to me at the time, it was "go big" or nothing since it was my first ever and most likely my ONLY Camaro I'll ever own. I also feel $67,000 for my brand new ZL1(at the time I got it) was best "bang for buck" high horsepower car available at that time between the "Big 3". DEFINITELY happy with my choice, even though it's only got 1,069 miles on it as it sits right now.
