I don't see the big deal over the Shelby...really...70 hp. BIG DEAL. I can pulley swap that difference, and the ZL1 is still 10X the rounded performance car, its GM, its far prettier,it will be cheaper, and you don't have to add a buch of "packs" to get it to perform to your satisfaction. I am glad for one thing about the Shelby...70 hp from them will gain us Chevy guys probably about 100 hp next go around which is fine by me!..

Kewl, and welcome. I'm looking forward to the contest. I do enjoy talking smack about the Rust-stains, but lots of us know it's just a bunch of folks that fell in love with ovals instead of bowties. Enjoy your ride.

I love you guys that can't take the truth. You fire back with grammar issues. I don't have a dog in this race as I already own a zeta car and a GT500. Would love to get a slush box ZL1 for my wife. I am however not blinded by foolish brand loyalty to know both cars are gonna be great. So go "dolt" yourself little guy. Back to the debate about two awsome machines.

My guess at the 13 GT500 performance numbers. Launch control, upgraded suspension etc. It's going to be a beast. Chevy need to step up their game. Not just the ZL1, the SS as well. Chevy is being lazy just because the Camaro is #1 in sales. Is there any changes at all for the Camaro from 2010 to 2012? Very minor at best and nothing performance wise.
2013 GT500 0-60 in 3.6-3.8 sec 1/4 miles in 11.5-11.8 @125mph Ring time 7:25-7:35 2013 Gt 0-60 4.5 sec 1/4 miles 12.6 @ 110mph+ 2013 Boss 0-60 4.1 sec 1/4 miles 12.2 @114 mph Anyone wants to play the guessing game too? Last edited by den318; 11-18-2011 at 10:29 AM. |

Now, chevy has come out the the ZL-1 that competes with the CURRENT GT500, and once again Chevy should (we know it will) out perform it. Ever since the release of the Camaro, Mustang has been playing catch up. How many years did it take for them to come out with a new engine that not only has more HP but better fuel milage? Now I think it's fun to see that the big 3 are putting out some fun and fantastic cars. There is something for everyone, and not everyone is going to like what the others are producing. Now how can Chevy come back with something for the future GT500 when it's not even getting made. (yet) It's still in R&D and T&E (Reserch and developemnt and Test and Evaluation) When Ford starts making the car and you can buy it, let's talk! Until then it's kind of a moot point.

My point is that Chevy has not done much to improve the Camaro since 2010. Ford came out with the 2011 5.0 to combat the Camaro and according to mostly everyone, it is a tiny bit faster car. Ford could have leave good enough alone...ie like Chevy. But for 2013, they make another update. New front and rear, HID standard, Recaro seats options, 4" lcd in the dash with apps. Track package with better brakes and suspension+ 420hp. What has Chevy done? Change the steering wheels and the interior a little bit. They need to do more with their bread and butter model (the SS)
