Based on the laptimes, if these two cars went to that track and had a 350-mile race, the Camaro would beat the "best mustang ever made" by 3 laps! Think about that. And as for a 650-hp GT500, just look at the lap times of the ZR1 vs ZL1 at the ring from last year. The ZR1, with over 600 hp and much less weight and better aero wasn't that much faster when you take the length of one lap into account. The 2013 GT500 may be impressive in a straight line, but no one would take it in a fight with the ZR1, so with the same old Mustang lack of technology and refinement, all you're going to get is a lot of wasted energy from the motor. Power means nothing if you can't put it down. Besides, if Ford gets to brag about the Shelby-enhanced Mustang, I'm sure SLP, Lingenfelter, or any of those guys would be more than happy to take on anything Carol Shelby or Jack Roush can crap out. If its the best car that rolls out of Dearborn vs the best car that rolls out of Oshawa, I'll take GM everytime.
