Just keep the GT500/or Cobra at the power level of the highest Vette or Viper and you will put GM and Dodge in a tough spot.
The last thing both companies want to do is sell a car with as much or more power as their flagship performer at half the cost.

Exactly! Leads me to an idea...
The only way a ZL1 could compete with a GT500 in this power range would to make some drastic business decisions with the Vette. I would imagine a complete change of direction for the Vette into true supercar territory. This would obviously free up the Camaro to slot in as a cheap(er) performance option for the common man. I'm thinking that they would have to probably completely drop the base Vette then obviously have only the Z06 and ZR1 remaining. Beef the Z06 up into the low 100k range, which means adding parts to justify its price making it decidedly above both pony cars, and doing the same to the ZR1; I would expect the ZR1 to be around 130k.
