Yup. Confirmed in October when dealers were given their order guide packets.

I'm not sure. They said both wheel options were all new, so they may be wider. The zl1 is running 305s and the current gt500 285s, it would be a bad move by ford to keep the same size tire.

Those pictures made it look like the same size tire since the last few GT500s.

How will the ZL1 stack up to the 650 hp GT500? Which will be faster? Which will be the better car? I know the answer (ZL1), but what do you guys think?

HEMI DAVE · 11-15-2011, 12:30 AM

Rumor states a 25% price increase.......so base is gonna be about 62K if thats true

TaylorRyanSS · 11-15-2011, 12:30 AM

Much better... no more Smurf blue

VenomInside · 11-15-2011, 12:32 AM

^ Now that is sexy!

TaylorRyanSS · 11-15-2011, 12:34 AM

Black and grey look the best on the current Mustang IMO Their color palette isn't the greatest.

When it beats the zl1's ring time, let me know. Till then the zl1 still has the 'crown'. Not fanboying here either, I love mustangs, but the z is designed for a track with turns.

Glad I passed on the 2012 ZL1...i'll wait on the 2013 and see how gm counters this.
