Is the ZL1 better than the Z06?

From what I've read/seen there's alot of talk that the Z06 isn't quite engineered well enough to handle the power output of the LT4.

So is the ZL1 "ready" for the LT4? It's mounted on a different platform from the C7 and it's obviously heavier. Is the difference between chassis and weight going to work better for the Camaro?

The C7 can handle the power. GM may need to beef up the cooling for those who track it consistently but it can HANDLE the power.

The Camaro6 is based on the ATS which is a great platform.

Z06 has better weight distribution, is lighter, better front suspension, better aerodynamics. ZL1 is a fantastic car, but I wouldn't put it up against a Z06.
