Plus the ZL1 can actually hook up on its factory tires. In the real world the ZL1 will be faster unless the Hellcat is on drag radials.

Correct. The ZL1 gets the right tires out the door. When I option out the ZL1, it comes out to a few dollars under 70K. That's the same as the Hellcat. But this time I won't get the tax benefit I had in NY when I traded my SRT 392. So at least in CA I'll actually pay a bit more for the ZL1.
But I agree, as a SPORTS CAR package, the ZL1 walks all over the Hellcat. As a Hellcat owner I'd simply point out that the Hellcat has a different design goal and it succeeds hugely. Even after I get the ZL1, I'll be proud to have owned the Hellcat!
On a less important note...the Hellcat engine bay is beautiful and lends itself to dress better than the ZL1.
It's a very "orderly" engine bay...but I hope to do something fun under the hood of the ZL1.
Here's my Hellcat, which we call VaderCat!
