I guess the GT500 would feel less composed and thereby perhaps feel more “lively” or exciting on the street or whatever, but that’s because it’s much taller, slightly narrower, has a worse front/rear weight ratio (57% up front vs 54% for a ZL1), and a solid rear axle and narrower tires. The ZL1 is as quick as the 13/14 GT500 in a straight line and a much better handling car. Not to mention the more modern interior (compared to one designed in the early 2000s).
Anyway, you can obviously do what you like but that’s what I would do in your shoes.

I actually was looking at 19+ zl1’s today. Some are reasonably priced. 2 problems with the 19+ zl1. 1: it’s almost impossible to find an M6 for sale. Roughly 30% of zl1’s made are manual. That’s slim Pickens for me. A10 is out of the question. If I’m bored in my m6 SS 1le I’d be even more bored in an A10 zl1. 2: If the Zl1 just hooks and goes when you plant your foot, I can see myself still craving a more raw experience. I’m going to try my best to test drive one but it’s kinda hard to find a dealer that will allow me to test drive one.
