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...
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...

You tip toed around my question. A 70K Mustang would also be sold in limited numbers too, and in this wonderful world of what if would probably match or better Z/28 performance. So why do you say that a 70-75K price tag for a Mustang would be looked down upon as JUST as mustang, when that same thing applies to the Z/28
I think you may be forgetting that Ford does care about handling and it seems they are trying to offer a complete package. So A SVT Mustang that is chasing Z06, would (or should) destroy a 6th Gen ZL1 in about every perfomance category if its target car was the Z06 ( again which I doubt Ford would go after)
and for the record, these are the rumors I have heard about the next SVT car...and at this point is all rumors
1. There could be 3 versions of a "GT350" A base model, an unknown middle model and GT350R which would be a Z/28 Fighter
2. There is the GT350 to tackle the Z/28 and a different SVT model with either a supercharged or turbocharged 5.0 to be the top HP model
