Something very telling to me was just taking a look on Autotrader. There are at least a page-worth of results if looking for a Shelby GT350. On the other hand, for a ZL1 1LE I only saw about 5 results within a 200-mile radius (3 of which were for new).

I believe its only because of the Shelby's price.. they are priced by name not by actual performance. The car was amazing when I came out still the best looking mustang in my book... But to expensive for what it offers, there are simply better options.
1LE are special cars and performs as such no just using the 1LE name as a sales thing.
