Whichever one makes you happiest! GT-R is still the king of affordable supercars, but the new GT500 is very impressive.

Can't wait to start seeing some (road) track times roll in. Really wish Ford would release their Nurburgring testing #s. I want to see how much it spanked the ZL1 by.

That's why they won't release it because it got spanked by the ZL1

I just can't grasp that the GT500 is 2 HP short of doubling the 370z

I can only imagine what those new GT500s and the Camaro ZL1 feel like when they pull. My dad owned a 2010 GT500 when it had "only" 500hp. I drove it many times, and that thing is nothing less than a monster when you hit full boost on the supercharger. If I had the money, I definately would have gotten a new gt500 and im not even a huge mustang fan due to everyone having one lol But with the upgrades to the new ones with suspension and everything and like its been said, the magnetic shocks on the camaro, there isnt much touching these cars even on tracks with turns now lol

Even on a track the weight of the Camero isn't gonna help. It's brakes, suspension and engine are all going to need to over come the inertia going into and out of every curve.

Basically what Camero supporters tend to believe is that it is a for gone conclusion that the ZL1 is better in the corners. The Boss held it own in a head to head against a ZL1 losing by 2 seconds on a track even with 140 less HP. The GT500s suspension is improved and it has 82 more HP than the ZL1. I think ZL1 fans are gonna be surprised as they watch the GT500 pull away from start to finish.

Camaro owners will be saddened indeed. The next Z needs a F.I. package...

I still don't understand the reasons to get into a pissing
contest with a car that cost 20 grand more than a 370
why don't we compare it with a lamborghini
I like the looks of the camaro but not as much as the 370
it's your money and business get what you feel good about
one last comment IMHO when comparing apples to apples
I'll take the 370

My car has Coil overs,sway bars,20in wheels,Gtm stage 1.5 Supercharger w/water-methanol injection and the list goes on,my point is with the price of my car plus all the add ons I still spent less than the ZL1.

And I have the car with 568hp 415tq handles better than I can drive it and looks better too.

Definitely wouldn't trade my car for a ZL1.
