That new 500 is pretty damn stout. If only the tires were better. I wouldn't buy one... but it's fast!

Both cars have a lot to offer. And, depending upon what you want out of your car, your personal abilities, and the size of your wallet, each makes a compelling argument for itself. |

The SS is better regardless of who is driving or how much money you have.

we need a gt500 and z28 comparison if the SS gets that close in a race... I would love to see how a z28 would do

interesting very interesting. the lighter more powerfull gt500 only beat the heavier less powerfull camaro by 2 car lenghts. this is great for the camaro ss. we know know with simple bolt ons its in gt500 territory while still n/a.
now i want to see how they put up against each other on the twisties. i think the more powerful gt500 with a live rear axle will be less of a threat.

don't get me wrong, I like the GT500...I just am a chevy guy...Mustang guys begged for this comparison, and they got it, but they didn't get the blow out they wanted, the GT500 was a clear winner on paper but just like a talented superstar, in this comparison, it just didn't produce results up to its potential. Sure with DR and a prepared surface the margin would have been greater, but most encounters (lets be honest) wont' happen that way, so understand from stop light to stop light, it will likely be a drivers race. A roll race is game over....BUT a lightly modded (headers, exhaust, CAI, tune) camaro SS vs a stock GT500....man that would be a nice race.
