yea, the gt500 will deffinitley take the ZL1 in sales, i believe.
Would be wise for chevy to boost the SS' horsepower passed the 5.0's 420hp. It's due for an increase/change, and could win some sales from ford on the lower end.

Fully decked out I priced out the GT500 at $66,000! Not bad for that much HP! and not to mention the car has data acquisition from the factory for the race track!!! Woot Woot!

For that kind of money you are in M3/Z06/used gtr territory, all of which I would rather have over a $70k mustang. Regardless of performance.

Not that I'm complaining, because I think it's awesome, but man, car performance ratios in the last 5 - 10 years are off the chart. Who would have predicted this kind of ridiculousness even just 5 years ago? If there was a graph of car HP and performance over the last 100 years, until 2000 it would be like a long slow steady incline. From 2000 - 2005 it would start going up hill quickly. But from 2005 until now, it would look like a straight up cliff. Wow, this is just crazy nuts awesome. Ralph Nader has to be hating this trend.

It's called a sleeper hahahaha. And I would much rather grab a slightly used Any of those others stated above. I would get the ZL1 over the stang, but owning a camaro I guess I'm biased lol. I have driven many GT500's and have done nothing but break loose every time I get behind the wheel

There is no way the new GT500 is in the Z06's league. When I was considering one, the only GT500's that were in Z06 territory were pushing 650+ at the tires, and had over $15K in suspension and tires--to turn stock Z06 times at the track.
