Heres a new video of 2 Shelby GT500'S being tested on the Nurburgring.... What do you guys think? I hope ZL1 will respond with more horsepower once they are released.

One thing is for sure the ZL1 kills the Shelby looks wise this car doesnt have the looks!

I didn't hear any blower whine. . . looks pretty tight in the corners. One thing's for sure, this and zl1 are going to be two nasty mothers.

Car sounded great but I also didn't hear any whine.

8cd03gro · 06-14-2011, 12:00 PM

Also looks like a fmic on the black one at the end. Could just be a different heat exchanger though.

I think the ZL1 will rule the streets with its IRS and automatic, while the GT500 will rule the track.

Blue Maro Demon · 06-14-2011, 01:21 PM

I think the ZL1 has alot more technology put into it with traction from the Corvette ZR-1 I think Camaro has this alltogether.

From what I've read and heard... the new shelby GT500 is rumored to be turbo'd... I have no official confirmation. But that MIGHT explain no whine from the front of the car...

Mr CLuTcH · 06-14-2011, 01:51 PM

I think the ZL1 will out-perform the GT500; because of the closeness in power you can expect it to be close, but I do suspect, given the setup, the ZL1 will beat the GT500. Chevy practically built this car to destroy the GT500, so I think they'll suceed but I don't know what Ford is bringing to the table the following year, as a response to the ZL1.

The 2012 GT500 might come with more power, something it isn't hard for the shelby to already make, but I think its going to take more than just power to beat the new ZL1.

It's a 2013 or 2014, it's a 5.0 twin turbo or a bored out 5.4 with a tvs on top, nobody knows. I've heard so many different things.

In all reality though the I doubt the 2014 will look like that, basically what is has looked like since 2010. Hopefully 2014 will be huge exterior change, along with other things.

Blue Maro Demon · 06-14-2011, 02:00 PM

I heard people that like Mustangs tell me that the twin turbo Shelby is out of the question now and that they are using a new setup like only using a 5.0 engine or a 5.4l.

just wait.

Who in the world told you that? IMO Ford will bring some new gadgetry of their own to the table. From the 5.0 to the boss release, it's painfully obvious that Ford doesn't like being second place. As long as they bring some good stuff, it's great for bowtie and ford fans alike. Like I said before, the two cars are going to flat out rule the streets.
