But, will it be the fastest Camaro that can be purchased directly from GM? Well, if somebody puts both cars on the same rubber and Z28 beats the ZL1 fair and square, I will admit: it is the fastest factory Camaro. But not until then.

A ZL1 with such an uprated wheel and tire package might well be faster around many road courses . . . for the first one or two hot laps. But not over the course of a 20 minute session and definitely not on the last full hot lap before the end of the session. Think heat soak and pulled timing here, same as what the drag racers were griping about all last summer.
Yes, the ZL1's cooling could be upgraded and I guess a few other things could also be done, any of which would cut into the price difference.
The NA Z/28 will still be a more nimble car, even if the ultimate lateral grip could be made exactly equal (which I still doubt even though the Z/28 and such a ZL1 would be very close).

Well you do get One Speaker and a K&N air filter.
Yep. A real bargain. 
Get a ZL1 or 1LE. |

Certainly the Z/28 as currently configured would not be a good DD choice for james, as he's still trying to make the Z/28 make sense in the same $ to physical content fashion that people make with any other DD.
With only a separate and more streetable set of tires, there is little reason this car couldn't be a daily-driver. Once that's done - and this is common enough within the autocross and track day world - It's the nut behind the steering wheel that's really the limiting factor.
