I think the big thing that strikes me is the "...a zl1 will walk away from it, a hell cat will stomp it, a gt500 will walk way from it." If you ever have driven a TVS car on the track you will know that it will pull massive amounts of timing (power) because of heat soak. Also take into account reliability of supercharged engines. Supercharged engines are great for the street and strip, but you are putting such strain on FI engine when you run around a track on a 90 degree day for hours on end. There's a reason all the track model cars from different manufactures (Boss 302, 911 GT3, Z28, GT350) are NA.
Also, look at what C7 Z06 owners are complaining about when their cars get heat soaked (and pretty easily I might add): no more 650hp (sure they are probably getting 500, but if i paid 80k-90k id like to have my 650 hp after more than just 2 runs)
Anyway, that's why we have so many different types of performance cars to fulfill everyone tastes. Also, getting 530 hp out of 5.2 litres is pretty darn good.
