After building a similarly equipped base GT500 ($78k), that's way more than I'll pay for my ZL1. When it comes down to it, the value to performance of the ZL1 can't be beat. Sure, the GT500 is more powerful and quicker (in a straight line), but the ZL1 is plenty powerful and a lot less expensive after rebates/discounts. Anyway, I'm preaching to the choir on that stuff. I could build a GT350 for a similar price to the ZL1, but it's obviously much less powerful. If it had, say, 510+ rwhp (i.e., 580+ crank hp) for the same price (most dynos I've seen are in the 465-470 rwhp range) I probably would have considered it more than I did.

Good to know. I guess it's tolerable for teens for a little while.

Yes, I think I had 5 in my 3rd gen Z28 once as a 16 year old dummy...although that wasn't fun for the three in the back. I don't recall if I ever put an adult in the back of my '95 Trans Am while in college in the early 2000s...
This past summer I was out with a couple of friends and I was the DD. They had both driven separately to meet up with me, but I took both of them home - we stuffed a grown 5'-11" man in the back of my Mustang - it wasn't pretty, but he survived.
