Seriously? Compare a Mustang to a Corvette?? The ZR1 would completely smear teh GT500. You dont think a $110,000 Corvette will totally outperform a $65,000ish Mustang?

The below stats says it all why can't you guys just admit it or at least give it credit? It may not be the better looking car, it may not be the best handling car but it does hold its own and in the hands of a real driver it will post faster Laptimes. It may be harder to control but in the end it's who crosses that line first that counts. For those argue "Well just add another 80HP and it will smoke the GT500". I would counter add IRS and magnets to the 500 and it will smoke it. Just admit it guys, whether it be 0-60, 1/4, some tracks, the GT500 is the faster car plain and simple. Just look at stats below.
GM and Camaro Crowd said ZL1 would be faster to 60- NOPE GT500 wouldnt be able to put power down in 1/4 mile- 11.6 at 125 seems like its hooking to me. GT500 won't be able to hang with the magnetized ZL1 on a road course. it set faster laps on 2 different tracks, tied it on another and was slightly slower on the last one. Everything some said the GT500 couldnt do, it does and does it better then they thought. Case closed now enjoy your car. I own a mere 412HP 5.0 but I would gladly take a ZL1 or GT500. |

Oh...it's my personal car. In our state, and I think we're the only state, we can use approved vehicles for use in patrol. I chose the Dodge Charger R/T only because it's the only V8 RWD sedan other than the Crown Vic available. I'm a Chevy guy, but they didn't have a RWD V8 at the time. Now there's the Caprice PPV. I get subsidies for vehicle maintenance and repairs. Oh...and I get free gas (only 89 octane though, but at least it's free). Everything else is out of pocket expenses.

I think no contest in auto cross but everhwhere else performance number wise Ford did outstanding. I suspect it'll be a draw on the street though due to the lack of driving ability from owners in both and the ford being a bit harder to drive. |

As for the bad drivers? I think all the journalists proved that BOTH cars were surprisingly easy to get the power to the ground. Everyone asked for marry Poppins to take over the muscle cars with driver assists, now we get the help and it appears its still not good enough for some drivers. Have you ever sat back and thought some for some folks these cars are just "out of their league". Just because someone can AFFORD to buy it doesn't make it a wise decision don't you think?

Some of these mag reviews confuse me, MT had brake issues with the Shelby, but one of Car and Driver's pros was the Shelby's fade free brakes.

Any IRS Camaro with or without MR should be able to carry more speed through a corner than the SRA Mustang, which takes advantage accelerating out of said corner.
