Though I won't be in the market for that kind of Camaro...I am looking forward to seeing how they'll do, too.

People are getting excited on both sides and exaggerating is bound to happen. As for the rumors, Ford and GM are at each others throats, spy shots and inside information are no longer accidental like the 80's. Both companies take precautions to conceal their operations. Rumors, at this point are definitely company leaks... All we can do now is build on this excitement and wait for GM to release similar information.Well...most of them are not. It's entertaining to believe the companies order test cars to park in front of a camera man...but that's not how it goes down. Nevertheless - the spy photos are still there, so it really doesn't matter if they were intentional or not.

I realize that information like a 620hp GT500 is really disheartening to a Camaro fan. One month ago, most people thought the comparison would have been 50/50 between the two. The amount of technology on the ZL1 alone is very impressive and performance was challenged, even when nothing of the ZL1 is known, after the Boss 302 lapped Laguna Seca. This leak was intended to take the wind from the ZL1's sails, and in my opinion, that information did just that.
Um.....a rumor about the GT500 wasn't disheartening AT ALL. You assume a LOT with that statement....a LOT, a LOT...The ZL1 isn't out yet, and we don't know half of the work that's gone into it. The Boss is also exceptional...but it doesn't represent much of a threat to the ZL1 either.

Wait for it to be released before you pretend we're all running to cry in the corner. Bad form.....:(

Anyway, I am completely enjoying this war as I did back in the 80's and 90's. I have really been thrown for a loop on the rumored 620hp GT500 and I think this could be the boldest, most aggressive move in the entire Pony Car War... Now we wait for GM's leak and in order for it to top the last one, it has got to be a jaw dropper...

Adding more power....the boldest, most aggressive move? heh.....I gotta say, Pill -- I know you're a Ford/Mustang guy and these comments are to be expected, but sometimes I can't help but chuckle at the way you post things...

Chevy doesn't need to leak anything, because this rumor was...a rumor. I don't think anybody here cares about it besides the handful of Mustang lurkers we have perpetuating this thread.

We'll see who's on top in the end...not that it matters...sales tell the story.
