The 2013 Shelby deserve some credit for what should be better straight line performance. It's a pretty simple power to weight ratio. For me, it does not matter. It doesn't make me regret my purchase one bit.

same thing can be said about a 2000 Honda civic. it can be made to put us all to shame.


thats a worthless argument vs. a stock car.


if a person can afford a zl1/gt500, they can afford to mod it where you can NEVER match them short of buying a forged short block.


my personal favorite car in the UNIVERSE is a LSA cadillac. what this discussion has proved to me, is a manufacturer can take the HP war as far as they want. the new 5.8 Ford has immense expansion potential.


i stay with cadillac, because it has Plenty of performance, and something NO Ford/Lincoln can match.... style, technology, overall performance, and comfort.

they can make a gt500 that runs 250mph and has 1200hp, and it can never be a Cadillac.


same for your ZL1, a gt500 can never be what your car is.
