Sorry but it is just not impressive.
A $56K Electro Magnetic computer aided forced induction ZL1 beating a old school suspension Boss LS that is derived from a 9 year old chassis by 2 seconds is not my idea of "WOW".
Sorry I just expected more out of a Camaro named ZL1.
ZR-1=Impressive
Z06= Impressive
Hell a regular C6 is impressive.
4th Gen in its day= impressive
ZL1=Disappointment

And if you read the thread on Camaro5 the ZL1 suffered a lot of heat soak. Track ready? Hardly.

I'm not trying to troll. I've owned 9 F-body's, 30+GM vehicles, I'm a fan, I'm just not afraid to call them out. I pained me a little to pick a new 5.0 over a 5th Gen even though the Camaro was cheaper. Even still I had to buy what I thought was the best all around car.
