I agree, with what Ford had to work with they did wonders. But you can only go so far...yet BIG HP does cover a multitude.

Yeah you can only go SO FAR and Ford has done things with a SRA that are remarkable but it's an obvious handicap to the Mustang if it wants to continue to be relevant. I'm excited to see the next gen cars, Camaro and Mustang not so much Dodge. They should have been left to rot ...

I seriously can't be the only person who gets this...
Nobody tunes a car at Nurburgring to compete with a Ford....not once, not ever... You think BMW is over there thinking, "Hmmm, the GT500 looks hard to beat..." Here you have a ZL1 which beat every BMW and Audi at Nurburgring and you Ford fanbois think its all about you...how sad... I don't think there is a person with a lick of common sense that thinks the GT500 is as track capable as the ZL1 or even BMW or Audi...power may get you through one lap, maybe two, but the car just can't endure. See, when you go really fast in a front heavy car and have to stop real hard to take a corner at the same speed as a Chevy Aveo, your brakes heat up and start to fade...its physics... and it makes for a real poor track car. Anyways, the svtperformance guys have 248 pages of GT500 vs ZL1...can we just be cooler then them and talk about some actual ZL1 and 1LE competition... I know the GT500 guys wish they were a threat, and if I ever need a car that is only capable of doing a really short distance mediocrely fast, I'll think about it... (...BTW, even the BMW fanbois, which are arguably some of the interwebz more obnoxious, would have given in by now...)

I don't think anyone is dumb enough to believe a supercharged car is the smartest choice for a track car. |

It's a whole different market. That's why, as a soon to be former BMW driver, I was willing to try a ZL1. At least there seem to be some in America that are trying to bring a level of sophistication to the automotive world. |

As an avid Leonardo Da Vinci fan, I can confidently say he would also agree that the GT500 isn't a track car. Quote:

Didn't say you were debating it My track comment was in response to NVmyZL1.
