Are you saying you drive on public roads like you're in a race?

Did you just ignore the 3 other people that agreed with me in this thread? Ignorance is bliss.

top model vs top model is fair with any car.
top model vs mid model makes sense to you?

Ohhhh I see now you are changing it to model instead of HP.....

No, I don't believe that Pete is saying that. Why do you ask?

You've already decided the gt500 won't handle well huh?
you sure you're not a bit too early on that?

The BOSS LS is a ZL1 Wannabe
The 2013 is a ZL1 Wannabe

If Ford ever put them together they would have a real car, almost as good as a ZL1.

There is no riddle. I was in the ZL1 mule back in 2008 at the Milford Proving Grounds. The GT500 is nothing more than Ford's PANIC attack reaction to the capabilities of the ZL1.

Take your Mustang day dreams to a Mustang forum and smoke the Ford hopium with your buddies.

Let try this again. The ZL1 should beat the LS. It has more advantages than disadvantages.

Are you saying that the ZL1 is a better car than the Boss 302?

I am saying when I drive anyone of my cars I don't want the front end to rack and twist like a tin lizzy, I expect my rear suspension to stay composed and not rattle around with a three link. When I want to turn a corner I am turning a corner and not plowing the north forty. I like my cars to handle like they are race ready and not cause kidney damage. That rules out a a 2013 wannabe be a ZL1 GT500.

Yes and I'm not impressed that is has won this test. For 10K more with all of it's option it should be a better car. Just like I wasn't impressed when the Z06 and GT500 was tested. The Z06 should win.
