Man, it's no secret that I've wanted the GT500 since it was announced. Well the first ZL1 GT500 comparison article is out and it really makes the choice harder.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 vs. 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Comparison Test

I really like that video, :bowrofl:

And I'm sure the GT500 will do even better, out west with long straight highways the Shelby seems to be the car, but on roads like the dragons tail the ZL1 looks to be better.

like any car, numbers shouldn't matter. its which puts the bigger smile on your face and which you could live with.

I bet that ZL1 owner was pissed.

To be honest, I could give a shyt about how well a car handles on a road with tight curves, pure BRUTISH grunt is what puts a smile on my face, and in that aspect, the GT500 will win EVERY time. Also, the 3.31 gearing is for top speed, throw a 3.73 or a 4.10 gear in the rear end and I think the race would have been much closer.

Actually the ZL1 owner was thinking...give me a curve right now.

See I'm a handling guy first and a power guy second. It's cool to do both really well with one platform.

So you'd take the ZL1 over the GT500?

No he'd most likely get a GT500 and improve the handling with aftermarket parts if necessary.

I would never buy a Camaro.

When I get mine you're gonna have to give me so pointers on good parts to improve the handling.

I plan on the SVTPP unless it's found not to provide any advantage.

So I will need to improve things other than shocks.

Honestly there really isn't anything I'd change on the '13 with the SVTPP. I'd just leave everything alone. The Bilstein electronic dampers are good.
