May have skimmed through too quickly...but is there a price released for this thing yet?

It's heavy but still a bad *** car, GM just made the damn thing so big. It's amazing seeing a 4th and 5th gen next to eachother and looking at the difference in bulk.

Pricing I saw was to Start in the low 50s.

No official pricing has been released. Not saying that your number wont be close, but everything thus far is just a guess.

funny that you have issues about what i say ..very funny indeed seeing as how many on here have labeled you a "TROLL"..this has been said over and over and not just on this particular thread, but on LS1Tech period!..and YES..GT500's are SEVEARLY overrated because it's not a user freindly car..90% of the owners of them cannot even run MID 12's stock with them!..@ 550hp mid 12's should be a ******* ACCIDENT that a 17 year old Honda driver could do with his eyes closed...and LOW 11's with just drag radials!!???...i'ma need to see some proof of that because last i heard it was a 11.9 with drag radials was the fastest stock times recorded (with DR's) wich is respectable but a 11.9 is a long way from "bottom 11's" in drag racing terms....even if by some miracle one guy managed a low 11 with it, might as well call it a fluke..hell it's not like with a C6 ZO6 where MANY have recorded 10.9's on street tires and drag radials alike with good drivers..i got a vid on my youtube channel ( i will post vid) of me racing a 700+hp pulley, tuned, exhaust ect (or so he claimed) GT500 that was on drag radials and he ran a 12.1 to my 11.9 ( i spun clearly in the vid) he got the win of course despite my better ET because of my reaction time..my point here..the guy now how his GT500 into the 10's but with alot more mods than when we raced..he has made atleast 100 passes at the drag strip cause i have seen him make many myself since i meet up with him alot on T&T nights...he knows his car well, but with DR's pullley, and tune and one hell of a good launch (as seen in this vid) he STILL only ran a 12.1 to my 11.9..GT500's suck as a drag car unless you are a pro driver on DR"s..then you might hit 11's LOL...you can try to say whatever but i race GT500's ALOT at the track and have only lost to one (while still running a faster time) so no i'm not impressed by GT500's not even a lil bit..not when they cost 50k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fcCC...el_video_title

The only people who even think to call me a troll are retards, just gonna go ahead and say that. They have their head so far up their *** that they think anybody critical of a GM product is a hater, and anyone who has ever owned a Mustang is a "Ford guy." As for the low 11s GT500 on tires, they have this thing called Google. You should try it out sometime. And I don't give two ***** what you see at your track.

Edit: Here, I did your work for you. This guy bolted up a set of drag rims and slicks, and started practicing. Understand that they new GT500s are considerably quicker than the early cars. Go ahead and get your "well it has hidden mods" excuses ready.

It doesnt annoy me if you like the car or not. It annoys me how self rightous and arrogant you are. You have to argue with everyone about everything, correct the dumbest little things that don't matter in other's posts, and you have to feel like you're "right" all the time. You put other people down and act like you're an expert and your word is final, and anyone who disagrees must have something wrong with them. Your opinions aren't why people call you a troll, it's your attitude.

I like all muscle cars, and stand behind no brand The ZL1 and the GT500 will be a heck of a driver's race, and I'd be proud to own either one.

Also IRUNELEVENS, you do come across as having a bit of an agenda sometimes.

If that's how you feel, you are welcome to do so. It's not my fault people are wrong so much . But if you notice, I don't argue with "everyone about everything." If somebody says something blatantly wrong or ignorant, I will throw my $.02 in.

It's all the same guy driving the same car. Like I said, he put different wheels/tires on it and practiced at the track.

If I had the money I still wouldn't buy one strictly based on how heavy it is.
