I'm in the same boat as you. I've owned 3 Corvettes and 6 Camaros, with a couple each of Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles thrown in. NOTHING BUT GM and and NEVER considered a Mustang.......that is until the '13 Shelby was announced.
As much as LOVE the look of the ZL1, I'm dissapointed as hell in its stock straight-line performance. I could "settle" for the look of the Shelby as long as it solidly runs in the 11's, but I won't "settle" for a ZL1 that struggles to even get into the low 12's...even if it does look MUCH better in my opinion. Unless the ZL1 were to magically (or should I say miraculously?) get a bump of 100hp or more from GM, I don't see one in my future :(.
I'm waiting a bit longer to see how the C7 Corvette looks (without the camo) and performs before I make my final decision, but more than likely my next vehicle will either be a low mileage C6 Z06 or a new Shelby.
