yeah that is the chess match.. but chevy will be out first so leave it to ford to do what ever they have to to beat it by a few hp. And remember they have Super Snakes out there too. Heck there are so many versions and levels of Mustangs you just never know what they have anymore..Thats why you have to go over the top just to be safe. And I would bet there are at least 20K modified SS's that will toast the zl1. Not to knock the zl1 cause bottom line is that it will come from the factory as a strong contender but compared to built SS's well nuff said. I am sure I will be flamed with many promising to upgrade a zl1 when they get one but whats the point of spending 15K more for a car and then upgrading it to compete. And its the personalized nature of the Camaros that make every single one of them cool. My guess is that there will be 10K identical zl1's out there.. However, kudos for Chevy for pushing this project forward and making it available.
