what might help this zl1 is having a few vettes to choose from that make awesome power. as long power and performance are increased with vettes it should be for this car.

in the drag race video that has the GT500 vs CTS-V facing off, the Shelby hit 118.9 mph in the 1/4 mile. Car & Driver has the ZL1 hitting it in 119...no doubt the 2013 will kill the ZL1 in a drag race.

If the Gt500 can hook yes I agree. Hell, If any Gt500 can hook it will give the zl1 a run

^I would disagree with the 07-09 GT500's. They couldn't come close to a ZL1

Not to discredit the ZL1 or the article, but the Boss has run quicker times than in the article on two occasions (base Boss and Boss LS), times which are also quicker than the ZL1's time. Just throwing it on the fire...
Not much of a point really, different day, different temps, track conditions, etc.....

For those of you who think the ZL1 won't wax the *** of the current Gt500. What I find curious is how the GT500 got magically faster when they ran it against the CTS-V. The times I have seen them run at the track is similar to this for stock or close to stock GT500's.

Because it doesn't matter what YOU see. We've established already that nobody at your track can drive, apparently.

Yeah, those other pesky 49 states and thousands of drivers. And since you want to say simple **** like that...it's "you're," and "fantasies."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same guy (the test driver) that loved the numb feeling of the GTR and hated the raw feeling of the Z06? Maybe they should hire someone else to do the test driving

You simple little man. You can't "prove me wrong," by posting other journalist times that are slower than the car's potential. All that shows is a different day, a different track, and a different driver. "Well they run slower at my track" isn't a reasonable argument.

I said comparible times from what I've seen. Just so ya know MIR is one of my tracks.

The "journalist" times seem to be right on par on the CAMARO.....ain't that a bitch.

you, sir, apparently don't know the competition well. the video you posted was a 2010 GT500 with the iron block, the one racing the CTS-V is a 2011+ GT500 with the aluminum block +track pack. its amazing to see all the hypocrisy going on(well, not really amazing) when it comes to magazine testing of the camaro. when the 2011 mustang gt came out and was stomping the camaro's ***, everyone called BS on the magazines' testing procedures/drivers/etc. now that the ZL1 comes out and edges out the LS Boss on a magainze test, everyone on this site is holding it as gospel.

The article was entertaining ..BUT....... I would have preferred them test the Shelby GT500 PP as well as the Laguna Seca Boss 302 against the ZL1 .

Just posting what I found that would be comparible. It is the 540hp gt500. Hell the rag mag times has tested the Boss to be faster than the GT500....in the 1/4. I take it all with a grain of salt till I see it with my own eyes. But the 2 I posted seem to be right on.

Right on with what??? Are u saying that a SS can give a GT500 a run for its money? Wow, gimme one of those SS factory freaks if thats the case...cuz as far as I have seen, an SS can't beat a GT..muchless a GT500

Arguing with him is pointless. He's in a different world.
