The Mustang has a 300lb weight advantage and better gearing. And if you read the article, the GT500 should be getting launch control too.

Rear end. Unless the ZL1 had gears steeper than 3.73, there ya go.

Completely different car. And the picture in your signature is hilarious, for a reason you probably don't get.

i know but i have heard some rumors that vettes are coming out with a ls7 its going to be called c7 corvette. this is what reps have told me i will see what they say but i think it was 800-900 horse power. that thing will fly but it will probably have a 150000 price tag but it will beat alot of lambo and ferrari

wow, looks like the zl1 will beat the gt500 by a few ticks down the quarter. What ford needs to realize is that the gt500 doesnt need that mushboost in horsies, what it needs is to somehow plant the power it has already on the ground...


But its crazy how these cars are almost hitting 600hp stock!

It's done, already etched in stone. The info on the Camaro ZL1's final power numbers was officially released and posted in this section yesterday, prior to you making the above posts by the way.
And low 10s, 9s with just a tune? C'mon man.
Do you know what it takes to run those kinds of numbers in a 3900-4200 pound vehicle on street tires?
Perhaps you're mixing it up with the 'off road/racing use only', very limited availability Camaro drag pack car?

ALL of the next generation Corvettes are going to be called 'C7', that's the next progression after the C6 generation which is what we have right now. The LS7 is in the current C6 Z06 and makes 505hp. Any Corvette coming out with 800-900hp (which is ENTIRELY unlikely) probably wouldn't use an LS7 as it's basis for the very same reason that the current ZR1 didn't use it.

Not sure who or where you're getting this stuff but it's neither accurate information nor even plausible/logical in most cases.
