You may find the dollar/hp meaningless, but I was making a point for Normagene that apparently thinks the ZL1 is a better value. All the "unnecessary" options I was refering to were things like Recaro seats, glass roof, navigation package...shit that does not make a car faster or handle better. I have no dog in this fight, as I own a 1999 Z28 that I drag race, so the GT500 would be more up my alley if I had to chose. But, I would not dismiss the ZL1 because I love the simplicity of the LSx motors. Can't go wrong with either car in the long run.

I understand what you're saying. I think all those unnecessary options in the ZL1 is why all the magazines pick the ZL1. Like I said; when they asked the Pro drivers they all chose the Mustang. I get the cost/Hp factor, but the Pro drivers pick the Mustang because it demands much more driver skill. One driver said something like "when you're driving the Mustang you sweat and work your butt off. The ZL1 is like a hi speed Sunday afternoon cruise, almost effortless and you don't need to take a shower afterwards".
So I think they pick the ZL1 for that reason as the better value because it's more of the everyday mans muscle car. Although from personal experience I think the nannies interfere a little too much whenever I'm making a left or right intersection turn. I really like whipping the ass end out sideways into the turn and many times the nannies just shit down the power. Very annoying at times. But I'd probably crash and burn if I drove it with everything shit off!
