Um... two things. First, if you check the markets, used Corvettes drop just about the same percentage-wise as the rest of the high performance American made vehicles and definitely lose value FASTER than the Hellcats. Z06s may hold value a little better but C7 coupes are a dime a dozen now and can be bought very well vs what their original MSRP was.

Secondly - a ZL1 is far and away NOT an SS with a supercharger in many ways. Nothing against a blown SS but the ZL1 brings a lot more to the table than just a blower. Will a blown SS RUN with a ZL1 at the quarter - certainly.

But unless the SS has the suspension and aero that the ZL1 does, it will be left behind quickly at the track.

Again, not taking anything away from a blown SS because they are sick cars. But they are not a ZL1 just because they have a blower.
