There are a few areas where the ZL1 is a little cheaper, but that is offset by the parts where the ZL1 is better. Parts where I think the ZL1 is better:

Engine, more power and torque, lower cost to maintain and repair
Transmission, shifts more smoothly
Wheels, lighter and bigger
Seat, more comfortable for daily driving
HUD
Brakes
BMW is a finer crafted car....there...I said it. It may not be better for one versus the other, but it's a known commodity. The ZL1 is a bargain no doubt.
