ZL1 beats new GT500
 

Down 80 HP and 300lbs more, superior handling triumphs. Won't lie, I'm fairly impressed.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 vs 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 - On Track - Automobile Magazine

Where's the Shelby boys now? :-p

out buying a shorter rear gear, I presume:icon17:

Trollolololol

For looks I think the GT500 looks better

Not what we're talking about here - just how 662 horsepower wasn't enough to beat a car that has 80 horsepower less, and 300 pounds more weight beat it.

O ya, I hear ya there. Just saying for looks, I'd pick the GT500. It is kinda sad that it lost. No going to lie there...

pretty wild

This might change with the redesigned and SRA free mustang in 2 years.

I wonder how the GT500 would compare with the same amount of tire the ZL1 runs. Never the less, kudos to GM for spending millions to be a little quicker than an ox cart. ;)

I'm sure it will, considering the next gen Mustang will probably be 1000 lbs lighter than the Camaro. :bowrofl:

So it will weight 4000lbs then? :stirthepot:
Congrats to GM on the victory, still waiting to see more track results and tests. These two will definitely be so fun comparisons on different tracks, both ring & straight line.

Lots of rumors the next-gen Camaro will be a radical change too (read, smaller and lighter). If it is, I MAY consider going back to ZE FATHERLAND that is GM.

I think GM knows that if they DON'T make the Camaro significantly lighter, it's game-over against the next-gen Moosestang.

Anything with less corners and the GT500 would win, I have no doubt. Moar corners, the ZL1 should emerge triumphant.

Gobs of power can be hard to argue against.

I can already picture the e-arguing with Steve and his next gen Mustang happening now......:rofl2:
