With enough time and planning I can try and get a big bunch of the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho group to head down and meet you guys.

It's only a good thing for all muscle car lovers that this little pony war is going on at the manufacturer level! Not that I can afford a ZL1 or a Shelby but I would still be all over the ZL1 over the Mustang due to looks.. I don't even use the full potential of my SS anymore on a dragstrip or otherwise so to me it seems more of a waste of money.... Wonder if the ZL1 gets a little extra in the coming years as well??

I think Ivan said he was done on March 23rd over there, and I'm leaving on April 1st (supposedly). I drive to Dallas probably on the 30th/31st to drop off my Jeep at the port and catch a plane ride out, so the 24/25 of March would probably be the best scenario?

I was actually about to cry/laugh when I saw the cop after you pulled up. Only because when you took off I was expecting the lights and one of us to get pulled over

I find it funny how Ford releases information about their mustang lineup everytime something important on the ZL1 comes out. It blows how the ZL1 will always be overshadowed by th Mustang, it is good competition and competiton is good reared for us but still its like damn. I really don't think that that Chevy will release a Camaro that produces over 600hp in another 2yrs as it might overshadow the Corvette and may not be good business for true company, unless Chevy was preparing for the Shelby GT 500 to come out with those numbers. Now here's my theory, i think that 580hp is just an early early and may be trying to find ways to push extra numbers, kinda like how they said the V6 was only 305hp but actually had 312hp and released it when the GT Mustang came out with 314hp or something of that nature. I mean 40hp isn't much and maybe the ZL1 can push another 18hp to get closer to that 600 mark. But who knows if the '13 GT500 will come near the 55k mark or how it handles compared to the ZL1, and thats the exciting part. Ford and Shelby Motorsports didn't have a ZL1 to compare numbers and specs to like Chevy did so maybe the ZL1 can still outperform the upcoming Shelby. If not, call our big cousins the Corvette family to take care of the matter at hand. The only thing Ford gots is the Ford GT and I havnt seen that thing around in a while. Okay now ill step off my soapbox, continue on with your day folks.

i kind of like Chevy being behind just a bit. (at least I see it this way) I see it as they get to see what is out in the market and build to surpass it. while ford only plays catch-up (again it only seems like that in my eye

Sometimes I don't see Shelby's as Ford however. It's an aftermarket motorsports company as SLP, Henessy, and Saleen are, and I find it funny how the ShelbyGT500 seems to be under the Ford banner. I guess we should fly Hennessy or SLP under the bowtie banner then. I hope I'm making my point understandable.

They do have the special vehicle team, but i undestand, sometimes they do make contracts with idividuals like the saleen.
