This is isn't directed at you but some people on here love to point out the "facts." Well this is a fact too. It is also true that if GM does nothing to up the 2013 model with more power (which looks to be the case) then yes it will lose in the qtr mile/0-60 war of words. I would however like to see what happens on a track and what all the gt 500 people would say if it lost. Shouldn't be long now until we see those results as well. At the end of the day two awesome machines...  |
Fact of the matter is both cars came out within 2 months of each other, a member here already has his 2013 GT500. They had about the same amount of development time, and the same amount of time to out do each other. Putting weight on the model year is idiotic. GM didn't aim at the 2012 GT500, they aimed passed it and decided to focus on something other than peak HP.
both companies made cars that are fantastic, both companies came out with cars that most of there owners can't control. a few tenths here and there are irrelevant.
