At least get a little closer to an apples-to-apples comparison and run it against that new Henessey. I think that the GT500 should be allowed the same cold air induction, cat back exhaust and the same drag radials. I assume the boost for both is about the same. Now that would be a good match race. |

6 tenths faster and at least 10k more yeah I think with that much $ in hand I could get it to spank the GT500 and buy a round of drinks for the entire bar after the win.

Here we go again....... .
And try 4.7 0-60 on the SS. That edmunds is inaccurate. And for $20+K more the GT500 better win. But, for less than $10K the Camaro will slam that wagon hard!

To be fair I think the cost of the GT500 is due to the components. You can push crazy horsepower through them no problem.

I really doubt that they dogged the SS on purpose and pushed the GT500 to its limits. It was probably the same driver for both The fact is that the camaro just isn't as fast stock for stock with that car. But the GT500 needs to be compared to the Vette not the camaro |

Why? Other than base price, what do they have in common?
Nothing stated in this thread should come as a surprise to anyone. It has been discussed, argued and beat to death on his forum and many others. As for comparing it to the Hennessey S/C Camaro, we've discussed that as well. Give the GT500 a tune and drag radials and let 'em go at it. |

Edmunds is always a bit off on the 0-60 times... I'm pretty damn sure the SS can manage a bit better. That and the comparison is off... If we had a Z28 then you could compare but with 75 more hp and similar torque the GT500 is an entirely different beast imho.

Next comparison of this caliber:
Camry versus G8 GXP. They're both four-doors. |
