Hell, even the GT-R is rated at 193.

I know it doesn't have much practical application, but the cool factor associated with 200+ is hard to ignore.

I'm telling y'all I want one and I want to get stationed in Germany!

Trap speed should be pretty sick.

I know i thought the ZR1 vette with it's 638 sc'ed horse power was badazz. The GT500 has more and the price tag is WAY better, plus it fixed it's funny looking butt.

It's not all about HP though, you can start comparing a ZR1 with a GT500

Jamaica · 11-15-2011, 01:51 PM

uhmm GT500 or GTR

KaienZ34 · 11-15-2011, 01:51 PM

Just looking at hp vs $ the zr1 starts at 112k.

FWIW GT500 is set to take on the ZL1, not the ZR1.

It was confirmed a bit ago that the Camaro ZL1 weighs 4,120 lbs. So not only does the GT500 have a 70 hp advantage, it is also 270 lbs lighter.

GT500 - 5.92 lb/hp
ZL1 - 7.1 lb/hp

Big difference.

Red__Zed · 11-15-2011, 02:02 PM

Still not in my acceptable hp/lbs range
