Might as well get a ZL1.
True, but then you would also have a car that you customized to your liking, as opposed to just a stock ZL1.

I don't care about CARB certification. I never plan on living in CA.

Warranties are overrated

I was just making the point that, if someone just paid off a 40K car, what's the big rush to go out and blow 60K unless you've got money burning a hole in your pocket. Put 10K into the SS and you've got the same power as a ZL1. Yeah, it's not a ZL1, but you'd also have an extra 50K to play with.

I guess I just have a new found love for superchargers
