Was just looking at this and noticed the horrible wheel shake on the burn out is that common? I dont think i have ever seen my Ta do that on VID. Anyway just thought that was funny.

^not according to the latest info. the new gt is supposed to be faster than the camaro isn't it? so why even put it up against a gt500?



oh right cuz the ford fan boys are crying about the old 4.6 gt still....

Big price difference too. All the Shelbys I've seen at the track have the same wheel bouncing around business or worse than seen in this video

brian_rs/ss

Ws6kid.

"the blue oval ford boys were crying cause the SS has 100 hp more than the gt..." and "... they cost about the same..." lol i thinks it pretty funny when motor trend and car and driver and those type shows and magazines say **** like that...

brian_rs/ss

he actually says "we got alotta heat from the ford fan boys for matching a 426 hp chevy against a 315 hp ford.'

whats funny is both those cars should have done better than what resulted. so it still wasn't very accurate. the gt500 is capable of about a 12.3, and the SS 12.8.

so that crap he says at the end about foot per dollar margine is complete bs.

ok but are those times on a preped track? cause a little vht will go along way

brian_rs/ss

^yeah of course. i do not condone street racing. that being said the only numbers that matter to me are the ones laid down on a prepped drag strip.

I agree, Brian.

It's going to be interesting to see what these cars do at the strip. The LS3 will have the advantage once these cars are modified, since the aftermarket has been in production for many years. Also, the OHC motors take a little bit more time in labor for the average guy. You are also replacing multiple cams, valves if you go go NA.

My guess is the GT is going to still beat the SS at the strip in stock form, but modified, the GT will be behind a bit for the first couple years.

Wouldn't the base vette or even the Z06 have been a bit more accurate of a matchup for the GT 500?

winters97gt

Price wise, yes, but the vette is not really a muscle car. Either car would have a hard time keeping up with ls3 Z51 or Z06 around corners.

vette not really a muscle car? what is it then?

winters97gt

I'd have to call it a sports car.

brian_rs/ss

yeah a vette has never been a muscle car. its always been euro trash killer, which would make it a sports car...with some muscle

the ls3 is an outstanding power plant. i just think the 2010 camaro needs to go on a diet to really be competitive.

SHELBY08

Agreed. We have to change the LCA's asap to stop this and then like a drugie looking for his next fix the mods seem to never stop
