Which is why you can't always speculate. Or if you're gonna do that then you have to speculate on both ends. Don't foget the GT350 was out first and they aimed it at the then-current Z28 and ZL1. The 6th Gen ZL1 came afterwards and aimed at the current GT350R and aimed it a little higher than that. So the same thing would have happened if the Shelby did have more power.

Maybe but that huge hp/tq advantage the ZL1 enjoys is making a very big impact in all test performance venues. Question is will Ford now build a 500 to challenge the present ZL1 or decide to sit out the looming hp wars.
