You mean the $100k+ ZR1? The sports car? How about they make a real "SS" package to match the FR500 CJ, instead of calling a mildly-revamped Z28 the SS? Or make the "Z28" the barn-burner.

Of course- the zL1 69 camaros were a 6cyl from factory, but still they didnt cost 60+ when knew.. about 4200..
The engine alone was around $4,200, which is more than a brand new SS would have cost you. A 1969 ZL1 Camaro would run a tad over $7,000.

Even in those days, the factory built race cars were outrageously expensive.

I am sure GM will make a Camaro ZL1 again if Ford pushes them (and its financially viable). They did it in 2002, why not do it now?

these arent intended to be raced by joe schmoe at test n tune; theyre already approved for "A" stock (NHRA), basically a class for the 3 brands to go at it. Dodge has their car built but isnt approved for a stock yet.

heres some vids, sounds mean for a little 5.4







just another stripe package huh

i hate 10 second factory cars

Yah you must really hate factory 9 second cars made 8 years ago (ZL1 phaze III). If gm puts out another super car, ford is really going to look stupid.

Yes, the ZL1 was nice too. Do you get your jollies off by knocking down SOMETHING? And "driven by 2 pro drivers" doesn't mean ****, since it was their first time driving the cars. One guy got a 10.0 out of it. That's what the car is capable of. Quit bitching

That thing sounds nasty! Looks like it rips pretty damned well too.

Granted I'd just buy an '05 on the cheap, strip it, cage it, and throw a big motor in it for half the $$. But thats just me, dreaming about having too much time and money.

I'll give Ford the credit for actually producing it, I'll give them credit for what the car can do.

I'll leave my thoughts about the styling of recent Mustangs out of this as I want to emphasize the above two. They actually built the damn things, and they perform. Much like the Prowler, original Viper, SRT-10 truck, even the dumdumdumdumdum...I wasn't digging the styling at all but I had to totally hand it to them for producing them.

So were is this imaginary "10 second flat" run everyone is bragging about? All i've seen is 5 runs in the high 10's. Apparently that is as fast as it goes until proven otherwise.

This is just a little reminder that ford is Gm's bitch.....

I am sure now that Ford & Chrysler have there version of a Factory built Super Stock Car in the Mustang & Challenger they will build a Camaro version also.Eventhough i have owned 26 Camaro's i still respect the Mustang & Challenger and if the F ord could up there HP i would not mind owning a Mustang but just look @ the time in my sig w/ just 2 minor mod's i ran that fast.If you could do that w/ a Mustang GT i would own 1.
