Yes they are a different pricee range but no different to the corvettes, the Dodge Hellcat etc which is an amazing machine, so you wouldn't compare a Hellcat with 700hp to a C63? Of course you would, its trying to hit that market with home brand prices.
As well as the Holdens there are lots of American cars with big power that are good value compared to Mercs and BMWs but a lot of people still assume the build quality etc is better on European cars. In this day and age I am not sure if that is still true though.
