I believe the OP makes a few good points, but I'm not quite convinced ford isn't competing with the ZL1.
I still believe it's true that the new GT500 was benchmarked off the GT, becUse the Boss was on it's tail, but they also know full well that it's Camaro/Firebird vs Mustang (even when the GM entry was non existent).
I remember when Camaros were blowing 2v 4.6 cars out of the water in straight lines (sound familiar ?) but Ford guys didn't say well, GM isn't comparing the Mustang to us anymore because they're shooting higher.... It's just part of the progression.
I think it might sting for (key word here) SOME c5 members simply because they took the hype and the overwhelming performance promises for "over face value" and obviously can't cash them in.
All in all, you guys know you don't like your ZL1s any less because another car is faster. Same as I don't like my GT500 any leas because it'll get drilled by a zr-1, or a new viper, or a....

...if you want to compare performance numbers, well, the GT500 retains it's title of the highest hp, worst performing car in the world.
