Z/28 vs GT500
It's widely thought on the interwebs that the GT500 is going to be quicker than the Z/28 due to it's expected weight advantage. But the CTS-V with the LSA that the Z/28 will (likely) get has a 40 lb/ft torque advantage and all my research shows a consensus of a 3.9 0-60, versus the 4.0 - 4.4 times I see for the Stang. Besides, I seriously doubt Chevy, oops... Chevrolet will follow up with an inferior product. What do you guys think?

This is one of the most sensible posts I've seen on the wars between the Mustang and Camaro.

To hard to say right now. I think Ford is playing a waiting game right now, at least they have hinted at it.
They could easily add another 100 hp to the GT500. I think the Z/28 will come out and be right at or a little faster than the GT500. I think Ford answers by upping the hp of the GT500. HP wars are good. |

GM has not cracked the full potential of the LSA yet either. And I dont really see GM saying "Well Ford is better so we better not push them around".

Because I said so. The reality is we don't know NEAR enough about the Z to guess how it'll perform. All we've got is a piece of paper taped to the dashboard of a cobbled together test-mule that says 6.2L Supercharged. That said -- you're last statement is dead-on, I think. They're not going to come "late" to the game with an inferior product. So....expect something good. |

The Corvette is a glass ceiling the GT500 doesn't have to worry about. |

Plus you got to remember the corvette will be faster with the same HP anyhow because it's nearly 1000lbs lighter than the camaro. |
