You are missing some key points, the SRT is basically loaded. To get a Mustang GT even close to the SRTs option levels is over 40k and you can can't even get an SS close enought to the SRTs STANDARD equipment to even matter. You CANNOT compare a base Camaro or Mustang GT to the SRT8 unless since i last checked they come with heated leather seats, youchscreen interfaces with harddrives, Paremeter keyless entry and start, specific sport seats, standard 30g harddrive, EVIC with performance timer, 20 inch forged lightweight alcoa wheels, standard striping, standard 4 wheel brembo brakes (yes the SS does, but it is optional on the GT and then only the fronts), well, anyways, you get the idea.... And it is even worse with the Charger which adds things like heated AND cooled front seats, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, 19 speaker Harman Karden (however it is spelled) audio system (same as is an option on the Lexus LS460), paddle shifters, electronic suspension, etc, etc.
Also I am not saying the ZL1 is not worth it's price, it will be, it is just in a different niche and should not be compared to SRT8 anymore than a barebones Mustang GT or Camaro SS should be.
