First off, welcome to camaro5. Yeah this is old news. Most people here already know the shelby has about 100hp more.

My wife walked up behind me while I was watching the video. She said the shelby was cute looking. This gave me an idea.

I might buy her the cute shelby and me the badass zl1. Best of both worlds!

Take that Chevy !!! Well done on building a fat 4xxx pounds ZL1 that runs 12s all day long with it's 580hp, it's a freaking performance sports car not a freaking luxury Cadillac

Nothing to say here, Ford did a great job on the 2013 GT500, along with it's 100whp advantage it's also a few hundred pounds lighter, oh with everything else it's also at the same price. Simply and sad to say it, I think the GT500 is just the better car to buy than the ZL1

Those are almost fighting words around this forum. Nobody is denying the performance levels of the GT500 and everybody is already aware of it. This is a Camaro forum and if you think the Mustang is a better buy based solely on a dyno pull and specifications alone then that's your choice.

Do you think anyone is listening?

Gosh thats more HP then the ZR-1

Deki · 06-06-2012, 04:10 AM

The horsepower difference is old news, and we were all aware of it for quite a long time. Both of these cars are out in customer's hands, so why have none of the mags done a heads up comparison between the two yet? I want them to get into the nitty gritty, lap times, and actual instrumented tests done on the same day, at the same track, with the same driver. I could care less about which one is the dyno queen.

Are you even old enough to drive?

I will say I'm impressed with the Mustangs performance but thats only thanks to Mr Shelby. The car itself is ugly, The new tail lights make it look like a womans daily driver. The ZL1 looks fresh and next gen. I would rather have a car that catches everyones eye (which it does) then something that gets me to the next set of lights a fraction on a second faster.

Then why didn't you save 30 grand and get an LT?
