My hopes of this died when the GT500 comparisons starting coming out. The ZL1 seems to be so close even after being out all this time, that I think GM sees zero reason to upgrade the platform.

I hope I am wrong though!
Wouldn't make business sense I suppose, but I'm with you, it would just be such a damn great car. Probably have to be $20K more if they did the ZR1 brakes, engine, and aero. But if the ZLE is just behind the Z06 then the "Z28" would be just behind the ZR1. The ZLE almost brakes and corners as high as the ZR1, so adding those bits would get it close to ZR1 laptimes.
