Sadly I just cant get over the rear and side of the car. Car looks like it comes "pre-wrecked" to me where the body lines meet on the rear 1/4 panel.

Sounds like it will run well. Cant wait to run into them on the street. Hope they have a few mods!
Surprised you can see one through those turret holes they call windows.

If it has to have little windows to look good then it's fine by me. It has some blindspot issues but I've never had a problem with visibility overall. Just have to be aware of your surroundings I guess.

The roof line is probably one of my favorite things about the car. LOOKS like a muscle car, just wish the belt line was a little lower. Helps clear the blower with stock hood so no biggie for me there either

I like both as well. I just like the camaro more so that's the direction we went. We were looking at used GT500s as well. Still may consider a vert to have a nice convertible but we're leaning more towards vettes at the moment.

I have been looking at the used C6Z06's my self if I can get my son to move and take his car and truck I could get one. Right now I don't have the space for a 7th vehicle. But after he moves......

Camaro SS, 0-100 mph - 10.5 sec
Mustang GT, 0-100 mph - 11.0 sec

Camaro SS ,0-130 mph - 18.0 sec
Mustang GT, 0-130 mph - 19.8 sec

I got that from motor trend, or car and driver I forget which.

It seems like as speed increases, the Camaro gets the advantage.
Im guessing thats what happen withe the LS1 race as well.

Not acording to the guy that actually owns both cars and drove the Mustang who says to "take it with a grain of salt." But hey I guess you missed that part.

A smaller engine. Plus the Mustang in the video had 3.31 gears and over 500lbs of lard in it..

Quit trolling, if you ever make it to around south mississippi, I'll show you what a lowly 5th gen with about 5k in engine mods is capable of doing to your 712.865321 rwhp GT500.

Well offering facts isn't trolling. 2 weeks ago I raced a Blacked out supercharged 5gen who said he was making over 550 whp. The last 3 digits of his vanity plates were 2SS and it was in the Grapevine area he also had a local tuner shop sticker in the window perhaps he is a member here. We had two people in the Shelby and he was alone. It wasn't even CLOSE for him. So bring your 5k of mods I'd love to see what you can do.
