How much did the GT go up? Would the standard equipment GT driveline take the forces of a GT500 engine? I'll answer the second: NO! Could you get away with putting Pep Boy tires on a new-Gen 662 hp Mustang? Maybe...Mopar did, with the Hellcat. So they'd build the GT500 to Hellcat standards? Or fully competitive with GM? GM is the answer, then? Add tires...and VOILA! $60 for Fun...if not $65K...
Whatever a GT500 would Base for, it will mirror a Gen-6 ZL1...right? Just like they do, now...

Everything you said about the GT500 would apply to the ZL1 as well. You think a Camaro getting the exact drive train and reinforcement needed for such a stout engine would be any cheaper? An LT4 powered ZL1 wouldn't be all that much cheaper than the Z06.

Well, if I was an internet gambler, I'd gladly take your money, Hobbsie, but Mama said I shouldn't...
Do you think a Base SS Gen-6 Camaro is going to sell for Vette money? REALLY? If so, you're NOT
depressed with all this, you're
suicidal!
If SS Camaros, well equipped (2SS?), sell for $40ish ($15K+ LESS than a Base Vette), what will a ZL1 sell for? $15K under a Z06, depending? EQUALLY FEATURED! Maybe $20 less...
SEE above, regarding GT500.
Hobbsie, when you talk about GT500, you're also likely talking about ZL1 and, unless Ford puts a nuclear reactor under the hood (where would you get FUEL RODS?!)...in which case, Ford fans will HAVE to pay for it...
