It's still a very well designed car.
That said, why the ZL1 over a C7 Corvette? Base price on a Vette is cheaper, the Vette is way lighter, quicker 0-60, better handling, better gas mileage, and looks better IMO. Even with the Z51 package and magnetic ride control, it comes out the same price as the ZL1. You can go much higher on the Vette of course, but you don't have to.

True that there is a bias BUT the ZL1 doesn't outperform in every aspect, sorry that is incorrect. The Z is lighter, more nimble and (as you already pointed out) has better braking. Pound for pound they are close in performance...if the Z had 300 more horses
