I agree with you to a point but owning a Shelby GT500 is a pretty big deal and I understand why it gets sold out quickly and why ford wants to cap how many are being sold. Ford collectors will buy these cars up and put them next to there 60's GT500 in there garages.
The Z28 to me is just a high hp Z28. My brother bought a 98 Z28 for 6,000 4 years ago. He asked me why would he pay 10X's that for a new Z28? I couldnt give him any other answer but its a 550hpish car. His response to me was that his car is heads and cam and makes around 430rwhp and probably runs what a new Z28 will run in the 1/4 mid-high 11's.
