Sounds about right! Assuming it was done on street tires?

Yup...Ford has gotten a 11.5@127 and 11.7@129 with cool down.

Call outs? Wtf are you talking about? On-topic, 11.6 from Motor Trend is mighty impressive. An 11.1-11.3 from an experienced owner in better conditions is sounding more and more plausible.

Jalopnik review...

I'm a GM guy and I like the ZL1, however, Ford deffinetly put a lead on this "muscle car competition" for awhile. Chevy's isn't going to bounce back as fast as Ford did (for those who don't know, Ford announced this car a day after Chevy announced the ZL1)

If I were to pick between the two, it'd deffinetly be the GT500, especially since the ZL1 costs almost the same amount of money

This is a bad *** car. The modern muscle car war is something I am happy to be a part of.

InsideLine did a 12.2 in the GT500.

Subjectively, it's not a car I really want. Objectively, it's the pony to have if you want to go fast in a straight line. Handling, well ride and handling are again subjective, I would have to put seat time in to make this decision (as would everyone else I expect).

So it took two weeks to run 9s with a ZL1, who wants to take bets on how long till this beast gets there? (A week, just to put the war back in GM hands?) Have to commend Ford on a fantastic job for those who want Shelby Mustangs!

I just pasted Autoblog's first drive impression and the author noted the GT500 is about 10,000 more than the ZL1.

Wow that thing is serious!

I'd have to agree.
And which is pretty much what I'd been predicting (I've been saying 11.2/11.3ish) all along, although I'd never expected to see it pull a 129mph trap speed on stock tires (if that's in fact true).
That car frightens me LOL.

And yes, it will go high 10s in decent air with just a rear tire swap.

THEY tested it with everything on it? don't forget, ford options all the track stuff onto this.....which on one hand, i fully understand....on the other, i think it's kinda cheesy......

Irunelevens

Yezzir, most of us have been guessing low-mid 11s right off the showroom floor, 10s on a DR, and deeper in the 10s on bigs/littles. I bet with some light weight reduction and the right conditions, this thing could run in the 9s using the stock blower. Or get damn close. I'm talking best case scenario, of course.

Possibly, with the typical weight reduction tricks and full bolt ons/tuning, there is a chance of a 9.99.

Fixed. I just ran a ZL1 over $60K on the "Build Your Own" tab on Chevy.com. I agree that the GT500 should at least include the Track Pack to be comparable to the ZL1, so it does cost more in (what I consider) base form, but the price difference is worth it in my eyes.

That's the same as what they did in the 750hp 3900lb SLP ZL1 Camaro.

129mph is moving! Just imagine what this thing will do in negative DA (DA for the test day was somewhere between 2000-2500, plus every magazine running back to back to back tests on them).

Really? Cause I thought the ZL1 was $54k
