Both great cars. The powertrains are quite different. The Camaro LT1 has more torque down low; which most feel is more usable for typical street driving. Some reviews I have read say it feels like no one is home in the Shelby until you get to about 4000 rpm. Plus that motor revs to 8250 rpm. So, that flat plane crank may be awesome but you can need some space to wring it out.

As for pricing, I think the spread will be much greater once you factor in discounts and incentives. I just bought a loaded 2016 2SS with A8, MRC, NPP and NAV for 41k. Msrp was $47k.
