Haha, ZL1 has won. I'm just hoping the factory will build it soon.

So while most of it is the same, the SS 1LE is set up for the power it has, bolting on a blower will require a bit more to really make it the same as a ZL1 and so that it will hold up the same as a ZL1.
From what I read on here, the only difference is the size of the rotors used as well as slotted vs non slotted. Maybe adds braking power as you said, but otherwise they both use the 6 piston brembo brake system. And it wouldn't be much to upgrade the rotors for the SS.

Not sure about the driveline differences, but I was under the impression the SS driveline can handle well above 700hp. The only real difference is building the engine to handle the power that the ZL1 does with an SC.

Not gunna lie, you’re in a crap position with the on-off-on-off shutdown crap.

If I was in your shoes I’d look far & wide for something, anything, close to what you want & just let it ride.

I will say find a car with PDR. It’s worth every red cent as the data is soooo valuable. Hind sight being 20/10, or better, I wouldn’t by one without it after having it.

How does the PDR benefit you? I have it but never used it.

I ordered the car on February 9th, it has been a painful process.
