Certainly the ZL1 is not immune from heat soak. However, characterizing heat soak as a "huge" problem on a stock ZL1 may not be accurate.
Chevrolet has dedicated significant engineering resources to minimize the effects of heat soak in the ZL1. The results of Chevrolet efforts can be seen in the 24 hour endurance test that Chevrolet conducted on the track with the ZL1. I don't believe that significant heat soak related complaints were registered during the 24 hour endurance test.

Why would anyone care what the "SVT guys" believe or don't believe?

Seriously, equating the ZL1's reputation to the Fiero's?
