We definitely need something to compete with the GT500. The '10 Shelby's are running 11's bone stock for $45k. I think they have eclipsed the turbo Supras as easiest car to modify (guys are running 9's on stock blower and motor).

That said I will still probably get an SS instead. I'm looking for a car to help my Vette with daily driving duties and not sure if the Z/28 will have an auto available (LA traffic). Gas mileage will probably be bad too with a gas guzzler tax (CTS-V is rated at 14/19 mpg). I think it will cost at least $50k too.

But the Z/28 will make a great weekend/track car to compete with Ford.
