You have that correct. The warranty issue is pretty important but few stock zl1's will be hitting the track in stock configuration. They will require NHRA modifications to race with and like anyone else at the track will want to be faster. Love the bracket race delay tree competition. But that same analogy can be said for a stock SS vs ls1. Both should be in the 10.50 to 13.99 time brackets. Like I did say.. not bashing the Zl1..love it and if I did not have the SS would most certainly buy it off the floor. All I was saying is that there are going to be 2 or 3 modified SS's for every zl1's out there that will eat them for lunch. Start modifications on a Zl1 and its going to end up in the 75 to100K range by the time they are done. I really dont think there will be many grenades in the motor as it is already a proven dependable component.
