TWO POINTS:
1) The Z/28 EXISTS...and it's selling in tiny numbers, relatively, similar to or possibly exceeding the BOSS LS...that was outrun by a $10K less-expensive 1LE.
2) the next-Gen Z/28, like the Corvette situation, may in fact resemble an LT4 ZL1...with the Z/28 offered with "super-suspension", R-rated-only tires, C-C brakes, and some weight-savings... Call it a ZL1-
R, if you like... ONE THING is "for sure": when that hallowed nameplate is re-issued, the car's capabilities will EXCEED the Gen-5 version...in ALL performance metrics...just like the new Z06 does...

What if Ford accepts that challenge of going after the Z06 ( I seriously doubt that just playing the what if game) Ford doesn't have a halo sports car like the Vette, the Mustang fills that role for them. Ford can throw everything possible at the Mustang to make a car to compete with the Vette, and if that was their target it would most likely destroy a future Camaro ZL1. BUT like you mentioned, that would put the Mustang in a price range that it has never seen.

And therein lies the "dilemma"...
Again, destroying the ZL1 AT WHAT? And AT WHAT PRICE? Corvette money? Don't think so... You wanna pay Z06-Z07 money for a
FAST 1/4-mile Mustang? Buy a Cobra Jet...
