Looks good. All of the bugs are not yet worked out on the 5.0 32v engine though. Local girl here already had her lifters replaced (less than 3k miles). |

Had the engine replaced around 800 miles because it dropped a lifter. In mass production shit happens. Now if we start seeing the lifters going out on numerous 5.0s we have a problem. |

that could simply be a factory defect. In mass production shit happens. Now if we start seeing the lifters going out on numerous 5.0s we have a problem. True. We shall see. |
Impressive times for sure, but at that price it should come as no shock that it's faster than a base LS3 C6. I would expect no less. |
Hmm....I'm thinking the estimated price isn't too bad for the package offered. You could obviously throw together any shit pile with lots of go fast parts together for way less than a fourth the price, but that's not the point. |

Very impressive, but this blurs the line for the "normal" GT500. I don't know if I buy the 525hp, but it could be on very low boost. I think this is setting the stage for the GT500 to get an increase in power with a big cube (6.2?) version of the 5.0 with a blower on it....leaving the Z28 in the dust. We need the LS9!!! :judge: |
Is this going to be produced by Ford, or Shelby? I'm feeling too lazy to try and read Motor Trends "writing." EDIT: I didn't realize it's a Shelby package. Don't care anymore...:D:lol: |
I put this car in the same catagory as the new Z28. Great car if you got 60K to spend. I guess im just poor. I can't even imagine an $1100-$1200 car note. Yet these car companys just pump them out like its the norm. |

It's OK. But they just put out too many variations of the Mustang. Only if GM would put out more variations of the Camaro. Now that would be great. |
The 1340, eh? |

True, makes you wonder if you leave off the Shelby/GT350 badging they would take 15k+ off the sticker... :/ |

If you put this in the same category as the Z28, that kinda makes the Z28 look pretty bad... Regardless, it's kinda hard for a $63k car to make the Z28 "look bad", seeing as the Z will be more than $10k cheaper. The Z28 is meant to compete with the GT500, which I assure you it will handle just fine. Just as Ford has Shelby to build the GT350, we have SLP and Lingenfelter to destroy it. |
He put it in the same class as the Z28, not me. And we can certainly get a pretty good idea of how the Z28 will perform; pretty damn close to the CTS-V coupe. |

I'm sure everyone here knows the REAL answer to that, but at the end of the day, people will pay for the damn stickers. :/ |
