I would wager the last year ZL1 with a LT5 engine would sell every unit fast even if it was priced 10k higher. Comparing the 5th gen Z28 is silly at best. That car was a flop because it was a 70k car that still ran 12's. LT5 in the ZL1 would be a 10 second car right out of the gate and wouldn't take nearly as much money as a LT4 to make 1000hp. Enthusiasts will see that potential and snatch them up just like they did the C7 ZR1.

GM honestly continues to disappoint. The LT5 is by far the best LT engine and they could of capitalized on more market share had it been used on other platforms with more then 1 year of production. The CTS-V and ZL1 should of both had it as a option. Even should be a option on a truck or suv. Take a page out of Mopar's book...their stuff is selling.

For good reason! I have been price shopping, and Dodge will lease me a 2020 Hellcat for the same payment that GM will lease me an SS. Not a tough decision at that point.
