The GT500 is not a track car, it is a street car and full of Dyno numbers.. Horsepower does not make a track car. Too many are fooled by HP.. Just look at the man himself....Mr. Shelby... He ran the Gt350 against the world's super cars, but funny, he did not run against the ZL-1, or the ZR-1.. He only ran against the Z06...With the GT350, which he said was the best track car....NOT the GT500.. Sure he said you can get 700 to 1000 HP out of the Super Snake, but it is not a Track Car...

Also the track would have to be not a high speed track...I am gear limited to 140MPH max.. So I will only be competitive on smaller tracks...But yes I would be a pain in the rear for cars that cost twice as much, but to win, you would have to make a mistake...Or I would have to let a pro Drive my car.. A man must know his limitations...

I like a mix of both. My 370 was great fun to drive. It's sort of a cross between a little sports car and a muscle car. Now I've got both... S2000 and the 5.0. But, surprisingly, the 5.0 is the better handling. It drives differently, sure, but man it just does everything you want it to! Fire, where are the ZL1 pics?!?!

Sure it looks good and is cool on the street, but track times will prove that high horsepower will not beat a better set up car with lower horsepower.. That is why the GT350 will beat the GT500 on the track, road course..But not in the quarter mile. But enjoy your Challenger..Very cool cars for sure...

I think you will be surprised at how well the new GT500 does on track.
Also, all the GT350 tests were done with R-comps. Put the GT500 on the same tires and I don't think the 350 will do that much better. There is only so much you can do with these cars (I own an S197 after all). After a while they all get to the same point handling wise (very good) and power/balance become the determining factor. Where my 5.0 is at right now I will out-do a Boss 302 no problem.

I don't know what the hell I will do... This is the House I made an offer on....Yes, I am outta my mind, but it is a short sale..If I get it, it is an instant 200K in equity..I just cannot pass up the chance...

Funny how the dealer wouldn't let me.. So I must agree with a Mustang owner for true results.. For me, If you have a really cool new mustang or challenger, or a ZL-1, I think that is super sweet.. I am not one to say one is better than the other...They are all nice new muscle cars...I don't buy into the manufacturer wars...

I don't either. Love a good car no matter who makes it! Life sucks if you only commit to liking one brand or region.
