I was looking at a zl1 camaro prior to when i purchased my nismo z. The thing that was the deal breaker for me was when i was sitting in the car i could not believe how hideous the interior is. I realize the car has insane power but there is no comparison between sitting in the drivers seat of a z and a camaro. Also when i took the zl1 out for a test drive it experienced body roll in the corners and just felt real bulky to drive. In a straight line the zl1 shines but anything else and it blows.
My advice to you is to keep your car and if more power is what you seek just go the FI route on your z and then you can blow the doors off the camaro.

You can laugh all you want dude, I tested the car out and these were my findings. My opinion maybe funny to you but I suggest you go drive one yourself and find out.

Oh so you have track tested them? sorry didnt know.

But srsly... Driving down the road at the dealership doesn't count for squat. In test after test the ZL1 is shown to be amazing at many things ...other than a straight line.

It has an amazing engine and amazing suspension system, both rooted in the ZR1 and CTS-V. It beat out the BOSS LS in tests, which beat out the E90 BMW M3.

This all coming from a mustang guy...

So your either bias and attempting to make yourself feel better bout ur purchase... or you really didn't test drive it to any significant extent.

give credit where credit is due
