2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Matches ZL1’s $54,995
 

Now all that's lacking are performance numbers!
Looks like Ford vs. Chevy is back 110%.

That's great news!!! Ford gt500 is going to slaughter the ZL1

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.

They did that back in 2010. 426bhp.

damn you're right. for some reason I was thinking it had 405.

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!

Call me crazy, but I would not spend $66k for something that looks marginally different than its $25k counterpart.

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.

+! ^^

i think i would spring for the GT500 at the entry price. fully decked out price, i'd rather hop into a GTR or M3.

Your not totally wrong the auto has 400.

Wow.
 

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.

Unlikely! While cars have been getting faster, they've also been getting dramatically safer, which is awesome. Cars are quickly entering "do it all" territory where you don't really have to sacrifice a whole lot to get what you want.

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.

But No! The new shocks will prevent this, even with 100bhp more! :bowrofl:
No need for more than a 285 back there. :roflpuke2:
