Remember sometimes you have to slow down to go faster...
I absolutely agree with the above but nowhere do we have any proof that the brakes are not up to the task. The road Atlanta reviews all gave glowing reviews to handling and braking and of course all out power. It does show to stop harder in bonzi test as fact show. The only negative thing any of us read is one editor left not wanting the car as it was almost boring and not involving alot of effort to drive a monster around the track. As many have stated we need a compare test same day at a decent track so all the guess can be taken out. To say the GT500 has not proven itself or it's accomplishment won't be used tho is just being biased. I love GM, was really looking at a ZL1 but I now believe the GT500 has one this round. As far as what I will be buying in te next 6 months it will be GM and the Z's close cousin. CTS-V coupe. The DNA of the best camaro built an the best luxury for the money. It just when you look at what it does I don't see wear for 60K you can't find a better all around sport, muscle, grand tourer than the GT500. I wont have a 13 in my garage as my next purchase is not from the blue oval but you have to tip your hat at what they have done.
