GM had better think long and hard on this one. Cut out the bs about exclusivity and price gouging and come out with an honest to goodness price and package. This game isn't only about them. If the zl1 is so exclusive and hard to reach, then somewhere down the line someone and something will come along that will offer more for the money.

From the look of the link on this thread, that "thing" looks like it has come today. Can't back out now Chevy. Go big or go home!

I would still be very suprised if this car can outperform the ZL1 in any way. Just horsepower doesn't mean a car is faster on the strip or road course.

Maybe GM should pull the release on this car until they get it right

That's what I am thinking, change pulley size and tune to 600-650 hp and over 600 ftlbs...

This GT 500 is all over the Internet and the newspapers. Nary a mention of the ZL1.

You people think GM didn't know about the new GT.

I'm waiting to the 925 HP Z/28 with the new X-15 engine.

FORD has just given the...... MIDDLE FINGER...... to both Chevy and Dodge

They are letting everyone know they are NOT gonna lose the muscle/pony car war's.

Gotta love the way they look out for their fan base.

This is true, but the 2013 GT500 clearly has/offers more than just horsepower upgrades.

Whether this translates into performance has yet to be seen, so yes the jury is still out, but there is more than just horsepower here.

Even the diehards will cancel their orders for the ZL1. This car simply cannot compete with the GT.
