But why did chevy make the zl1 for the same price as the shelby with 80ish less horsepower?????

I think the shelby power bump to 650 hp surprised them. They build the ZL1 to compete with the with GT500 when it had 550 hp.
They can't increase the power on the ZL1 beyond 580 hp because they will have the corvette. They may be worried about losing those sales.
