For one the Boss LS is over 8K less and gets FAR better mpg. The ZL1 is rated 19mpg HWY which is terrible to say the least compared to the 302's 26mpg HWY rating. This makes perfect sense when you consider the curb weights.
Second, the GT500 is the direct competitor to the ZL1 NOT the Boss 302 so the comparison really just show how awesome the Boss 302 is despite costing a lot less and being down 140hp.
Regardless the new GT500 is going to tear the ZL1 apart. Personally, I would rather spend ~ 44K on a none LS Boss 302 with Recaros/ upgraded LSD. I think it's probably the best compromise between daily driver comfort, performance, economy and so on.
