I will say this, Ford does offer you options most ZL1 owners would want, like a real NAV, and Recaros...it's the extra cost to get the better suspension that really sucks. Ford makes you pay for the right set up as an extra, which is definitely advantage Chevy.
I feel like both cars make buyers fork over huge dollars and accept from very big compromises.
Personally, knowing how much both cars will depreciate once the re-designs happen and both cars become lighter and better, you have to have pin money to burn on either car. Love both cars, but just can't justify the price for either right now.

yeah but that nav is horribly overpiced and should not be purchased. I could litterly build a high end complete system with nav that sounds twice as good as the factory crap for less money than just the nav unit. the recaro's are not a have to have option either. they are good for the track but dailing driving I would rather have he factory power seats.
the pricing is very competivie in my eye's. both cars have have there strenghts but I don't see how you could complain about the price of the base car.
if it does end up avoding the GG that is $1300-$2600 back in your pocket.
all and all I give it to ford on this car if it does hook up. every other generation GT500 has had issues. brake fade,heat soak, traction problems, 155 limiter. I want to see some tests on the braking some of the reviewers don't like the boss brakes. I have never driven them.
if it backs up the 3.7 0-60 11.7 1/4 mile 202 top speed and laps well 60k is a good price. it will take a Z06 to best it and they are not 60k.
that being said the ZL-1 is cheaper in my eye's as I would have to have the performance pack and track pack.
all and all I think they are both f'ing sweet. one thing I have always noticed with ford fans and the current GT500 is there is always but to anthing they say about the car. you point out a flaw and well that can be modded. with this generation that may not be the case.
