Not to bad, I was lucky sorta of.
I sold the zl1 for a C8 silverflare at msrp, on the way home from the dealership I told the wife you want to sell your ss and get a C8? She was like "never I love my M6 and it's kinda famous for being on All Girls Garage and Borlas R&D car." I said ok. I said you want to take it to work and do the break in miles for me she said sure ok, when she got to work she said GD you I want one now! I said sell your car then.. so we did I gave her the silverflare and I ordered a base 1lt c8 w z51 so I could do the maggi or procharger. About 2 weeks after placing my order the Bastrop dealer called me and said I know you wanted a z06 when you bought the c8 do you know anyone who wants a z06? "I said hell I do!" He said build one and send me the link, only problem was the z07 pkg was on constraint. So I built it how I wanted and the dealer said it wil be here in 8 to 12 weeks for delivery. Meanwhile Autonation gulf freeway in Houston say guess what your birthday is tomorrow and your car is here! So we headed down to the dealership to give him the bad news. They sold it like 2 days later so no biggie. 2 weeks later the z06 arrived I ended up paying 18k over and I got full trade for the c8 silverflare with 4k miles on it. In fact, I refinanced just before the original loan was due then the next payment is due June 30th in 3 days. We traded the c8 in I can only afford 1 z06 or 2 c8s so we have to share now lol.
Basically we drove the c8 for 4 mos and paid some interest that's it.
BTW the dealer tried to bend me over with 10.6% I refinanced today at 5.9%
The cost of a zl1 and SS are the similar to 1 z06 payment the SS was close to 600 and the zl1 was close to 900. If I got 1.9 like I did on the camaros they be identical.
In the end in ok with No list, No 10k for holding a spot, and building how I wanted with a 8 week wait and only being 18k over.
