Just for clarification purposes, are you saying that making a high HP Z that is RELIABLE LIKE THE C8 ZR1 wouldn't cost a mint? I'm just trying to understand your take comparing a high HP Z being as capable in a straight line (assuming here as your initial post about the ZR1 didn't elaborate on this).
Again just trying to clarify things here, if you did mean in a straight line, are you also saying that a high HP Z (1,000 HP+ given the rating of a current gen ZR1) is also cheaper than the current MSRP of a ZR1? I understand you can't find one at that price, but that's not a fault of Chevy, that's dealership markup which is currently out of OE's hands. Last I checked the MSRP price of a ZR1, depending on trim and options, ranges between $175-200k. These cars aren't meant for normal people and are priced fairly for the intended market and performance demanded of said market.
I could be off here, but haven't you mentioned that you are deep in the six figures with your Z and have had to turn it down to make it reliable and enjoyable? So you should know this better than most, the Z is not anywhere near capable of the same bang for buck performance as a turn key, warranty backed and reliable current gen ZR1. Finally, your comparing an open deck (Z, no billet block option) to a closed deck (ZR1) with cast iron cylinder liners.
