ZL trashes the BOSS
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...2_laguna_seca/
Mustang guy here saying OUTSTANDING job Chevy. The new ZL shows the LS Boss it's tail lights in a convincing manner while providing a more civil overall experience. Gotta love a CTS-V wrapped in muscle car skin. The gt500 will be an interesting match up as well, but will extra hp be enough with the Camaro's more sophistocated suspension??? Either way competition will improve the breed as it always has. Before you Chevy guys start ragging the stang please remember I never ragged the Camaro when EVERY car magazine had the GT as a superior car to the SS. Again competition makes all things better. Quoting the legend Stan Lee EXCELSIOR! |

If you want to argue this you might as well bring in the callaway camaro and hennessey camaro as well.

the current GT500 does not lap horrible but it does cost GS corvette money and has a hard time keeping up with them. my contention from the ford crowd is why does the Zl1 get bashed when it is faster, quicker, and handles better than the current GT500 which most ford fans hold in very high regaurd. when the new gt500 comes out it will not best the Zl1 by much more than the Zl1 bests the current GT500 in 0-60 or 1/4 mile most likely. So hear again why is the Zl1 such a pile. All I hear from alot fo the ford camp is like charlie browns mom talking. it is so much brand bias. it will be interesting the current gt 500 to a gear change from 3.55 to 3.73 to lower is ET. now they have upped the horsepower and took the gearing int he other direction more like the Z06 or Zr1. I for one thing the 2013 GT500 will be awesome as long as it does not cost 65k with the ajustable bilstien suspension system. Then it will be like the Z06 is for most. sweet car but hard to some up with the coin to buy a new one. everbody is asuming right now that it will be affordable like the Zl-1 was going to be 48k then came in at 55k. peoplle talk about the gt 500 being 55k but I think it will be 60k+ wich is hard on the wallet. I don't see any deals right away if it does hit its perfromnce targets. to me the 2012 gt500, boss 302, grand sport vett, Zl-1 are basically poor mans perfromace car if you are looking at new cars. Used the Z06 is still where it is at too me if you can live with the downsides of the car.

5.8L is new, the new suspension, the new brakes, the new gearing, the new track stuff, new cooling options, yea i expect the price to rocket up. remember ford is throwing around 650hp and 200mph u gotta pay to play

Just like Motor Trend has made a clear statement that the new Super Camaro is a superior car when compared with the BOSS. I suspect that the other major magazines will agree as the zl looks like an AMAZING BEAST. http://www.caranddriver.com/comparis...mparison-tests http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/co...ord-mustang-gt http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...n/viewall.html OTHERS http://www.insideline.com/ford/musta...camaro-ss.html http://blogs.edmunds.com/karl/2010/0...ustang-gt.html |

I don't know ?
Just received my march issue of Hot Rod Magazine.Interesting write up on the 2013 Shelby GT .Very impressive dyno numbers to say the least.Dumped out at 650 HP at 6,250 rpms & 670 HP at 7,000 Rpm redline.Don't know about you but this surely got my attention.Rather pricey at around $60,000.00 but sounds like you get a lot for your money!Don't get me wrong I am a chevy man thru & thru , but I love all the competition.Just like the good old sixties.Everybody competing,track & street.Can't beat it.
