Despite the percieved notions, the last two model years performed quite well. They pulled a solid 1.0g in lateral acceleration in most tests, shaved 10+ seconds off their VIR time compared to the '10 model, and managed a quarter mile near the 12.0 range.
The ZL1 will outperform each of those numbers 9/10 times, don't get me wrong, I realize that and have for some time, but that's not to take away from the previous Shelby. That was expected, if anything, it would have been a failure on GMs part had the car not been able to.
I'm impressed personally, and regardless of how the '13 SVT stacks up, I'll wave to every ZL1 I see on the street while I'm driving my new toy (if I can distinguish a ZL1 from the other models  ) |
If you cant see that bulging hood with a carbon fiber insert and completely redesigned front fascia with huge splitter you you might need glasses
