I know my SS isn't a ZL1, but it is Eaton blown...Here's my opinion:
I have the motor trend where they did a side by side comparison between the Hellcat and ZL1. The ZL1 kept up with the Hellcat until 50MPH, they only put a 275 tire on the back of the hellcat stock. The ZL1 ran a 12.2 in the 1/4, and the Hellcat ran an 11.8. Not a big enough difference IMO to justify spending the extra money just for horsepower. On the skidpad, the ZL1 took a big ol' dump on the Hellcat. That is a big factor to me, that is the "fun to drive" aspect I look for in a car, not just the straight line acceleration. GM did an excellent job on the ZL1, and the only reason I don't have one is that I wanted a Vert, and didn't have the budget for a ZL1 Vert.
