And the BOSS, done up the same way?

Boss 429's have sold in excess of $600K before, but that was then, this is now... No one is paying those stupid prices anymore.
Face it, you can't have "several" Boss 429's for the price of a ZL1. It's a fact, you can't refute unless you're o.k. with lying (which is possible).

Un-true generalization, you don't know how much and how I drive my Boss, and you're just painting in broad strokes, in a POINTLESS debate.

You're ignoring how much R&D money got poured into that small run of all-aluminum 427's, and how that money gets amortized over a small-run. Again, you're way out of your league here. No manufacturer makes money on a run of 50 cars with unique engines, they'd have to charge 10-times what they did to even come close. Race cars aren't about making money.

Wrong again... Did you miss the words "specially prepared"?
