Money is subjective when it comes to ones happiness.

..then my good man you are Golden! The World is your oyster! You won't go wrong with the ZL1. It's a sedan sized coupe if you can wrap your mind around that. Big, supportive, stable, comfy, and spacious enough inside (on a coupe parameter space wise) with the high tech HP bells and whistles to beat the upper crust priced competition hands down. Don't worry about Gen 6 Camaro, Z/28 or design/architecture changes for now...go for the sure thing. One can always upgrade later it they see fit. This one is a no brainer, take it from me. The ZL1 is like having your cake and eating it too.

That is a plus for the Vette.

My money is on intentionally leaving headroom for future power increases. A little like stud poker if you will - you wouldn't play the whole hand out with your hole cards face up for all to see.

I am really leaning toward the Z as I like the size of the car-not sure I will like a "downsized" gen 6 camaro....

What's everyone think? I know, I have hard choices...

I think that snipping four or five inches out of the wheelbase would make it easier to shed a few lbs and make the car inherently just a bit more nimble in the process.

I concur.

Maybe build a L/28 with a warranty. How hard can that be?
