I think you could go either way, then. I suggest you choose the route that's most economical for you. The ZL1 offers that "full-package" that's hard duplicate. Looks, performance, warranty. It's all there. But few will ever use it all - and it's a waste for those looking to put up awesome numbers at a drag strip only.
Magnetic Ride and PTM (racing traction software) are simply a treat with regards to road-racing. Steering, roll, handling bias, and traction have all been significantly upgraded on the ZL1. You'd need a full suspension upgrade, including bushings, and various links, to meet the feel and performance - but you could do it. Don't forget the 6-piston brakes, extremely strong drive line, wide wheels and tires, or cooling systems, yet, either....
Engine...580 crank hp with a full 100,000 mile warranty and very responsive to mods. Need I say more?
And the looks are self-explanatory, too.
You could achieve much of this through the after-market. It'll be expensive, though - and do you want to tinker with your car that much? That's a choice only you can make.
First, I'd figure out how much equity you've got in your car, and how much more $$$ it will take to trade into a ZL1...they're only going to get more expensive as this generation goes on. Then price out all the upgrades it'd take to meet your needs for a comfortable road-racer with some kick, and compare.
This is only my opinion on the matter - as you asked for. I'm looking forward to hearing what you decide to do!
