And if you want lbs for lbs apples to apples comparison, throw FBO on the ZL1 at 730 or so hp and watch what it does to the GT500 where hp is no longer the deciding factor. And your priice list is post inflation values, back in 2018-2020 the ZLE's were going for less than that. I saw some priced at $50000 to $60000. Granted those were low milage used like sub 15k miles. |
It is never apples to apples once you add mods. You’re comparing a modded car to a stock car. I was comparing the top Camaro to the top Mustang of the same generation how they came off the show room floor. It’s not fords fault that Chevy didn’t give the Camaro more power. I know people on these boards have complained about Chevy not giving the Camaro the LT5. They could have done that, raised the price to 95k and bam now you equal the field price wise and give the people what they want.
You’re right that the prices I listed were post inflation. I really thought a 2018 ZLE was like 76k but it was only 70 (BEFORE INCENTIVES which there were a ton because no one bought Camaro’s prepandemic). By the time the GT500 came out (2020) the ZLE was about 72-73k for a manual before any options. GT500’s with the CFTP were roughly 96k so about 20k savings.
Yes I remembered Randy picking the ZLE. Better value for the money and nicer chassis. Same reason I choose my SS 1LE over a similarly priced Mustang.
