ZL1 vs GT500

The only think it is missing IMO is a nice touchscreen / nav radio ...

As far as aftermarket .. I think the GT500 5.4L engine is the better choice if you want to go high HP with minimal mods to the internals of the engine.

Yes, the GT500 5.4 has more potential based on the current aftermarket and bulletproof internals. Big power is so cheap and easy. The aftermarket will come as ZL1's begin to drive more demand, not sure if GM will course-correct and upgrade the LSA internals.

I'm with you, I love muscle cars. If there were no camaros, I would be driving a GT500 and smiling every time I did.....

thanks - i normally do not like (much less display) fuzzy dice in my cars, but those were given to me by a good friend who passed from brain cancer. she bought them for me for the camaro. when i traded it in, i left them with the car - i think she'd be cool with that.

It's not what you say or ask. It's "how" you say it. I'm not one to pick fights with anyone but I will not sit by and let some jerk try and school me with insults and threats without returning the favour. Especially after admitting to understanding my point to begin with. Go, and see how others who do not agree with me responded to my post as well. Noone is insulting or quarelling with me except you because I'm not feeding your trolling personality.

Go back and read how you responded to what I wrote. I had agreed that I was the butt recipient of my first response as it was a joke and went on to keep on topic by explaining my point in relation to mods and the new equpment that will be on the ZL1.

It's not whether or not I understand you or vice-versa, this is a free forum and everyone has the right to respond in their own way and or to perceive that response as reletive to the OP. It's the way you speak to people that warrants a certain type of response. You call me a coward but your a punk terd that doesn't even have enough guts to admit when your in the wrong, and realized that although my responses to you wasn't what you expected to hear they were in correllation and were not to offend in relation to what you asked. It was not my intention to start a quarrell with you but your brought it so I'm here a long as you want. I don't back down to nobody especially to moronic imbeciles like you.

I don't care if you want to keep up the insults, name calling or threats that there will be some kind of moderator punishment as it won't make a difference to me either way. If you like we can continue to insult in an attempt to match wits or we can agree to dis-agree and dis-continue. I'll leave it up to you to decide.

As for your original post; Just like you traded in your SS Mustang killer. You'd better now go and trade back in your GT500 for that SS as it will be getting spanked all summer long by a bunch of SS's, and then next year by the ZL1's.

How about you take him and his GT500 vs your SS (according to you can spank a GT500 all summer long) and race for pinks to settle this once and for all?

Now that's an intersting idea, but if that's something you want to do feel free to gamble your vehicle for a GT500.
Personally, I don't gamble to resolve a dispute a matter of fact I don't gamble at all.
But, you can be sure on my way back / forth to the peace bridge I'll be looking for a Grey Mustang GT500 with Illinois plates to spank while on the QEW. Already, smoked a Mustang last weekend with a turbo.

We all just having fun now boys. You traded that nice SS for the GT500? Gutsy. But I understand, one drive in a GT500 will make you do that. I almost did but decided to get the Gt500 and keep the SS until the ZL1 comes out. I love em both.

@ffrcobra_65 Is that a Factory5 Cobra?

Yes sir it is. Factory Five Racing "roadster." Carroll Shelby sued FFR for using the cobra name on their cobra replica product so now it is called a "Roadster". I sold it but I will be building another one soon. Just gotta get my wife's storage cabinets out of the garage to have room to build. Well, that may take awhile..... I can't wait! Silver with black stripes next time.

I dont street race anymore I kind of grew out of it because even if you safe the guy you race is usually an idiot but I also am weak. If road is empty and straight and someone edges me on I am only so strong LoL

Is the cobra name thing because of Superperformance. I heard they made a deal with shelby.
