Complex ZL1 questions

Hey guys. I'm definitely investing in a 2018 ZL1 within the next few months. I had a couple of questions regarding the structural integrity of the car if anyone knew.

Some of you will laugh, but I'm seriously looking forward to swapping blowers and throwing an F1X in it and shooting for around 1200whp after everything's built. These cars are new, does anyone know how strong the body is and if I'd need a roll cage for this kind of power? I know everyone says to get a cage way beyond this point, but it would be more of a daily driver and I wouldn't really want that mess. Also, the one I'm looking at has a sunroof. Would a sunroof shatter due to the body flex? Would there even be any? I currently own a 650whp 5th gen SS and have no sunroof issues at 50k.

The last question is, do the 6th gens have less headroom with the sunroof? I know the 5th gens do. I know these questions are vague but I can't seem to find any data or resources that go this deep into the car. Thanks - Vis
