Most people who can buy a 70k+ car aren't concerned with your financial analysis.

You do understand that a $20K difference between cars is a HUGE gap right? Do you realize what can be done with $20K? Or to make it simple, a $20K difference between trims/options within even the same Make and Model is substantial. Or are you trying to argue that. I'm not talking about what people can afford. I'm talking about if the performance of the GT500 as compared to the ZLE makes the $20K worthwhile. As an example, the ZL1 and SS are worlds apart in performance. And that is only about a $10K difference in price when optioned similarly. Add $10K to that and you have a Z06. Or look at it this way, at a $13K difference, the GT350 non-R can even get close enough to a GT500 to see the license plate. So $20K would be a significant amount. The Camaro and Mustang are competing vehicles and historically have been priced similarly. So with an extra $20K there should be a huge gap in the performance. If the CF GT500 at $94K (MSRP without add-ons) can't absolutely annihilate the ZLE (which when optioned pretty heavily with unnecessary items can hit $74K) at everything then what exactly are you getting for that extra money?

And I doubt the ZLE is going to keep up with the C8 Z51...

I do not hate the GT500. If I could find one at MSRP I would buy one for sure. So you're off your rocker if you think that. However these are things that are important when discussing the performance of a performance-built vehicle. If we were talking Lexus vs Infinity and the Lexus had $20K in upgrades over the Infinity then there would be a night and day difference between those cars. Or if you put a $$70K Sierra 1500 up against a $50K F-150 there would be a huge gap between those trucks. Or a $70K X5 against a $50K Explorer. So you can try to ignore it since it doesn't help your argument, but even a few of the Mustang guys have admitted that at the price of the CF GT500 it would have to really beat the ZLE.
