I don't expect to see forged internals on the ZL1 motor like the Shelby motor cuz that would increase the MSRP and if GM does NOT increase the HP/TORQUE of the ZL1 they will want to keep as many competitive advantages as possible against Ford (e.g. PRICE, MRC suspension, Seat Heaters ) I think the SHELBY will cost a bit more than the ZL1 even at MSRP and certainly so once track/performance packages are added

I think this kinda relates to the ZL1 and Chevy has added pressure as the Mustang topped them with 600+hp for 2013. If I'm the boss at Chevy I just might offer a 675hp option to squash the tang!!! But to sit back and not offer a HP bump in 2013 would see weak to me! |

I think the bigger picture regarding ZL1 vs the Mustang is more about handeling and user experiance. With a button the ZL1 was engineered to transform but the Mustang requires at least for now a manual adjustment from outside the car.

All that should tell you is that they're clueless.

I'm still praying some financial endeavors come through so I can get a 12' ZL1.. I'd rather not wait to see IF GM is going to make any changes, especially with the MASSIVE changes the Camaro is going to see in a couple years anyways.. Hell, IF there are adjustments made over the next year or so, and those changes are liked.. Then buy that part and swap it in! Some of the changes made from the 04 GTO to the 05 and even the 06's were subtle.. Of course everyone knows about the LS1 to LS2 changes as well as the visual, but what about the power seat motors being upgraded.. How many knew GM changed that?? LOL! |

Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Dual Clutch Sequential Transmission, and a full carbon fiber body would be good. lol

"crazy" is the word. I can run my Boss with and past an M3 on the track, but to be honest to do so I had to increase my bravery level as the car is moving around a lot on the track. I can't imagine trying to outrun a magnetic carpet ride ZL1 in a GT500 in anything but a straight line without it being a real eye widening, white knuckle experience. |
