I don't see GM sweating this one! They are saying, "you want some? Come get it"

Time will tell. Ford is not going to have the ZL1 specs be what they are, and then release a car that will be inferior. It would be very stupid of them to do that. It would be the same as if Chevy released the ZL1 and it got out performed by the current crop GT500. It just wouldn't make sense.

Its a lot of talking going on over there.why didnt they just provide the mags and media with a 2012 gt500 and let them just compare them and get it over with it all? Gm was in an actual position to stomp on the gt500 and let the world witness it and instead decided not to. They just decided to sit back and talk. All this is fun, but still just talk.

Im sure someone with a '12 GT500 will bring it out when the ZL1 is released to test the two. Should be interesting at the 1/4 and at the track.

The best thing about this article is that it looks like another round of reviews should be out shortly.

Interesting the automatic car has a higher top speed than the manual. They say 180 mph top speed for the manual and 184 for the automatic. Maybe less friction in the automatic. Both have final gearing in 5th about the same. Using a 28.41 diameter tire size for calculations.
First table is automatic followed by manual. Last edited by Bolt-onC6; 01-20-2012 at 08:52 PM. |

As I said before, if Bigger meant Badder, Brock Lesnar would never have lost the UFC title.
