The base car got only a minor price bump for a MUCH better product, so even though the generational performance increase will apparently be much larger on the Z06 than it was for the base car, I'd be surprised if it got a dramatically larger price bump. Starting the Z06 at almost 2.5x the base model?

The problem with your estimate is you're comparing it wrong. How do you expect GM to add all the tech and parts of the C6 ZR1 to the new Z06, plus a bunch of new R&D, and somehow maintain the old Z06 price point? That is completely unreasonable. C6 ZR1 is around 120k, so the new Z06 is going to be at least the same price as ZR1 was but most likely a little more.
Anyone comparing the Mustang to the new Z06 is totally off in left field. Why would GM give any shits about the Mustang? That is a Camaro competitor, which is why they have the Z/28 Camaro now.

Exactly! You're getting a Zr1 that is rebadged as a Z06, so the price will be comparable to Zr1 pricing with a slight increase.
