You see , this is what I don't get. For all those cry babies out there saying that the new GT 500 has 662 HP and the Camaro is slower in a straight line. From everything I've seen the GT 500 is at least $6000 more than a ZL1.

I'm pretty sure these upgrades at LMR was less than $6000. Now this car has roughly 725 HP wich should more than keep up with a GT 500 and for the same or less money

Man that thing sounds good! Are you guys going to make another video at the strip with the new mods? (That's the same car, right?)

P.s. Just for the record, the mustang doesn't need all the options to handle well at the strip...

MSRP on the 2013 gt500 is 55k, about what the zl1 is so its not 6k more. You also just lost your warranty.

Gt 500 fully loaded with the same track options that come "standard" on the ZL1 puts it at $6000 more


Who really gives two $H!TS about warranty, highly over rated....

To make the cars apples to apples comparison you need all the upgrades on the ford which puts it well over 60, like 63 -64k.

Track your ford and you lose YOUR warranty.
