To each his own but dollar for dollar, I think I'd rather have a vehicle with a total package designed by engineers with components to compliment each other, that produces 7:41 times at the Nurburgring...straight out of the box from the factory. AND it will have a warranty.....just seems like the right way to go if that's what you're looking for.
To me, the biggest factor is the warrantee. Mod an SS and any problems are your own. Buy a ZL1 and you get the warrantee.
