They can be compared.

Now, there are worlds of difference, but savour the fact that the choice exists while it does, because it probably won't be around forever

Am I mistaken? Can one not say, "Are there any American cars with an FR layout, a snarling V8 with over 600 hp, capable of 200+ mph," and come up with the ZR-1, ZL-1, and GT500?

Now, again, the Shelby is aiming at the Camaro, and is closer in every respect. But the filthily expensive super vette is on that list.

You can't say that, because the ZL1 runs out of steam at 184 mph.
