Now I can't afford either of these cars, and even if I could at this point in time I couldn't handle all that power anyway, nor a place to unleash it. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but not many will admit it. Hell, i find it hard to really push my v6 camaro without going to jail Very few people will ever push these cars to their limits.
If you were in line to get a zl1 and you want a gt500 now, you are a retard. And I say this because if the only reason you are changing your mind is because of the gt500's HP numbers, then why were you in line for a zl1 in the first place. Because if HP is all that matters, you can get crazy HP a lot cheaper than the zl1. The car will be a pos but the engine will be bad ass, since that's all that matters.

I'm not trying to downplay the Shelby's hp #'s either. I'm sure the car is a complete monster and will probably beat the zl1 on paper, and maybe on the track too. Who knows?
Nobody. But numbers don't win races, people do. But as far as what's going on around the water cooler, ford just pissed in chevy's cake and they have bragging rights cuz even non car people judge cars by the HP numbers. Not that it's right or even accurate, but the sad reality. And that's why the auto press is having a field day with this news, and why some of you are upset and slightly uncomfortable. Lol.

I love competition, and I love when one guy one ups the other guy and that guy comes back and one ups. And when people loose their shit in the mist of it all.
And even though the zl1 just got bitch slapped on paper, I still like it better than any mustang no matter how fast cuz it simply looks better to me. And at the level of performance both of these cars are sitting at, looks are a lot more important to me, not beating some guy by one tents of a sec, in a race I will never have. Unless you count the dyno, lol.
