Base model GT500 gets you 662hp/631tq. That is $55,595/662hp= $83.98/hp
Add the Track pack and Performance pack it will total $62,085. That package will put it on par with the ZL1s handling and will cost you $93.78/hp.

Zl1 is gonna cost you $98.88/hp straight out the door.

It seems to me that you never really took into into consideration dollar/hp. Looks like the Shelby is the better performance value upfront. But once you start adding all the unnecessary options on the Shelby, the price will jump significantly.
The problem when comparing price is that none of the track ready options are standard on the GT500. You have to spend about $64,000 to get all the coolers and everything that the ZL1 has standard to compete on a road course.
