Yeah, exactly.

As for the Boss. What other N/A car can run 11's with a simple tire mod, get close to 30MPG, and then take it to the track and have it eat up Beemers, Porsches and Vettes. Then leave, and pick your kids up from school in it, while looking mean and lean. All for around 40k? Just sharing my .02 of course.

Plus, I haven't seen a negative review on that car to date. We'll see what my piggy bank allows in the next few years. lol

If I was more of a road course guy I would agree. To me without really thinking about it I would have to say the new Mustang GT. Running mid 11's with bolt on's is pretty impressive. Personally I dont like the way the 2012 BOSS looks but then again I think the 2012 GT is FUGLY. Both cars look much better for 2013. No auto option for the BOSS is another strike for me. I am more of a drag racer. Gotta have a stalled auto

Don't think its as much weight as it it power If the 2014 ZL1 has 650HP I am sure the ball would be back in Chevys court.

I honestly think we are going to need more like 680 unless they can put the ZL1 on a diet.

absolutely, but with a muscle car it should be very good at the 1/4 first with everthing else coming second IMO.

And you all pretend that the GT500 had been proven to be lacking compared to the ZL1 inn the dept. Where does this supposition come from? What makes you so ****y as to think that the ZL1 unequivocally own the GT500 in this regard?

There sure are a lot of hopeful haters out there.

The Camaro SLP ZL585 gets the same 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile numbers as the Shelby and it only has 585HP. If it was pushing what the Shelby has it would rocket to the moon.




GM can easily win this performance challenge.... we just got caught with our pants down this time:(

And your not? Where are you certified track times comparing the cars on the same track that shows that the ZL1 is superior?

LOL... there's a lot more to getting down or around a track than Power to Weight Ratio... You're way over simplifying things...

Im sticking to physics. Dont believe it? Watch what happens when they test the GT500 head to head against the ZL1...

You never heard me say I thought a ZL1 would beat anyone, so don't read into my posts... Stick to physics then... there are more physics involved than just power/weight

so what mods do you have on your 2010 SS.. have you had it on the track... need any suggestions that might help...

enjoy your trolling again tonight... I"m out of here
