What tires does the gt500 come on? Aren't they like a shitty 275 tire? Im guessing the camaro will win a drag race bone stock if it is 3800 lbs or 4000lbs just because it has such wider/stickier tires on it. Can't say tell it comes out though..

It comes with Goodyear Eagle F1's Supercar's 285's. And I think both will come down to what driver don't spin in a drag race. The GT500 will be announced soon now since Ford knows what GM has. Just like they did with the SS/5.0. The GT500 will still be lighter and make more power in the end. 2013 will be the new GT500.

are those the same Goodyears that came/come on Corvettes? if so good luck hooking up lol.
why cant cars just come with RE11s, KDW2s, NT05s, Invos, or Kumho Ecsta? an actually sticky tire i'd pay more for that

I am surprised Ford hasn't offered the GT500 with an auto. The only thing I'd see from that is a sales jump. Seems logical to me as any corporation likes money and expanded market share. The ZL1 will likely take some market share away from potential GT500 buyers who want an auto option

The GT500 is the new Cobra, and they have never been automatic. I said in another thread, there aster plenty of cars and/or models that have been manual-only over the years.

You can't out run ugly... I'm sorry but I still think they are absolutely ugly as hell on the inside and the outside isn't much better either. It weighs 4,200 lbs!!! What a pig! I would love to have the engine out of it but thats it. It will be a good drivers race for a year at least since the gt500 will be making more power next go around (supposed to have 600 with a new tvs based blower)
Haha that's because ford's have shitty transmissions, could you imagine an auto in there? It would be destroyed everytime you hit the throttle lol
I'm sure they could make one that could. I mean their current auto in the GT's we've established holds up to abuse more than their clunky Getrag
*stirs pot*

With that I wish I would have bought a F'ing auto.
