My car dyno'd at 483 RWHP with a tune and no filter. I'm guessing that with a cam and a few other mods, the 427 is easily 600+ at the motor.

For the same reason people went nuts over the C6 Z06 even though the C5 Z06 could be modded, for less money, to match performance. Factory warranty, bigger tires, bigger brakes, and bragging rights that you drive an exclusive $100k+ Corvette (if that matters to anyone).
I guess it's worth it to some people. So I take it you're no longer interested in the ZR-1, Norman?
