GM absolutely nailed the front-end of the car with the Zl1 and Zl1 1LE, but I'm still not there with the looks of the rear end, but getting somewhat used to it.

For mid-60's, there's no doubt Zl1 1LE is a bargain, not to mention it made Hagerty's top 10 most collectible cars in the future - not that it matters to me or most fellow camaro members here, but at least it made the list:

Compared to our Z/28's, the ZL1 1LE platform, interior quality, and technology are no doubt better (and it should be), but I'm still partial to the sparse analog set-up of our cars. However, this is not to say that for 75K (MSRP), GM could have easily made the interior of the Z28's much nicer with carbon fiber parts and not add any additional weight, which is what I'm thinking of doing in the near future:

Truth be told, GM should have given our Z28's at least 575HP as the 505HP is a bit low for the weight of the car.

As you know, Justified, I got my Z28 modded to 675HP and it has completely transformed to the car to a whole new level, it's incredible.

Either way, you can't go wrong with a modded Z28 or a 650HP ZL1 1LE. Both killer cars!
Yes... I can attest to your car being a beast! Believe that will be my path. I too have seen the ZL1 1LE and it's cool. Dig the carbon fiber accents in the interior, red seat belts, etc. I don't think the exterior looks better than the Z/28, however. 650 HP is enticing, but that's achievable w/ mods to the Z/28. As mentioned above I've heard the ZL1 on hard acceleration and it can't touch the brutal exhaust note of your car on hard accel.

Btw, I am okay with our interior with one exception....instead of alcantara (with exception of wheel) I wish they'd just used plastic. That alcantara doesn't look like it'll hold up over time.
