The rear in the ZL1 is totally different than the SS (much stronger and has a heat exchange cooler inside the diff), all of the drivetrain components and many suspension components are different in the ZL1. The manual trans is completely different and has different gear ratios, axles, driveshafts, all different....upgraded. Magride, brakes, block, heads, pistons...etc. If you want a stout Camaro, the ZL1 is worth the price because it will cost you more than $18K to swap in all of the ZL1 upgrades.


I never did get why people say "Just throw a blower on an SS, it'll be cheaper."

Yeah it will be cheaper, but it still won't be near the car that the ZL1 is. I guess it really depends what you want. If you're a budget drag racer then yeah the SS would probably be the better route to go, in the short term. The LSA is already set up for boost, lower compression, oil squirters, (some) forged internals.
