About time we had a comparison between the rivals.
No real surprises if you ask me. I do agree that each fan boy will like their car regardless of the outcome. |

How long are the mods going to let us drown in bench racing before they get rid of these threads?

Why do most people overlook the obvious when it comes to these 2 cars. Best bang for the buck is the GT500 hands down. It outperforms 2 out of 3 tests in the original post. We are talking a outright spanking off the showroom floor. Give it a few mods and I am sure it would get even worse. Ford has stepped up the game and if GM doesn't soon it will be a shame. If you want to say "well the ZL1 is better on the street" good for you and make sure you tell that to the gt500 when you pull up next to one at the track, if you actually take it there. I love my camaro but I am not brand loyal at all. If I were to do it again I would be looking at a SRT8 Grand Cherokee since it can do everything I want it to and even drive in the snow. So when I see a GT500 in the middle of winter I will win!

shelby has brake heat issue and carries less speed throught the corners. if you look at the overlay there no way all the time was made up just in the brake zones on lap 1.

at the road coarse no if the TP/PP car can't complete 3 laps what does the stock coupe do there? if oil temps are in danger level with an oil cooler how bad is it without? or is the TP/PP a waste of money and the normal couple not that bad?

Power is easier to increase than handling ability. Damned close race between two titans, to the victor go the spoils!

Do you think the BASE GT500 is a better bang for the buck than the BASE ZL1?
