$11k+ to basically get a ZL1 to make STOCK GT500 numbers LMAO
i really dont see this man. dont get me wrong i love chevy just as much as ford and my project cars will always be chevys but the zl1 stock for stock is already pretty far behind, i mean look a 5.0 gt just took one out. start modding both the 13'gt500 and the zl1 and if your talking about same mods to both cars its over, gt500 all day. sitting with 100 more hp theres no way the same mods will close that gap for zl1. the only way is if you throw simple bolt ons to the gt500 talking near stock and throw bigger serious power adders to the zl1, but thats like comparing a civic with POS fart can to a f body with a 150 shot and high stall. and no one takes that race seriously. sorry man but some of you hardcore chevy guys need to realize that GM isnt the sole producer of "fast" cars. that theres more than just the camaro out there and it certainly isnt king anymore.
Maybe so ....

Yet you can throw a tune,tb, and cai on the GT500 and make almost 700rwhp??
Its no comaprison.
Im pretty sure there are PLENTY of 5.xL mod motors out there that make a **** TON more power than a lot of big ci LSX's. Correct me if im wrong but isnt it a Ford GT that holds the standing mile record?
Im not saying that they do make more than a lsx but i am saying they can make as much.

It would rape it. But if I had the ZL for a while those tables would turn quickly. My buddy's 12 Camaro SS ran a 12.9@111. I don't know why the Zl's are not performing better. The Cts-v's get to the 10's pretty easy. There is no reason Why the ZL should'nt do the same.

Some others might want to check the sales too, the Mustang took that over back in April or May and hasn't looked back

Now for speculation.....let's say I take my 2012 bolt-on 5.0 (stock long block):
....and add a 2.3 TVS onto it (which is sitting in the garage waiting to go on), how bad do you think I am going to spank the ZL1 and the GT500?
I can't wait to line up against either at the track.

in the end it should come down to just this:
they are both nice cars, if your road race and auto X, buy a zl1, cant go wrong.
if you drag race and street race, buy a gt500, youll never look back (at the zl1 in your mirror.)

and so is the gt500. all the new mustangs are underrated. factory tune is conservative and garbage. take the 11-13 5.0, with a tune and x pipe and radials these cars are hitting high 11's. now take the gt500 with same mods and tune. sorry man but the zl1 is way outdone and some people need to wake up and realize that. ford finally outdid chevy omg i know its a shocker lets get over it. the zl1 was built for a ROAD course, auto x and such. GM spent so much on the ZR1 corvette and the new c7 turd that they had much less money than anticipated for the zl1 project. so it got downgraded. its over man, the ss was the king back in the day and was putting the hurt on the mustang but now roles have reversed once again. not to say it will stay like this forever but its fords time again. not to mention GM is headed for another bailout here pretty soon, another reason why there cars are slacking lately. and if you are in denial about the 13' gt500 wait untill the body and motor changes again here in a year and ford puts even more power into their gt500.
in the end it should come down to just this:
they are both nice cars, if your road race and auto X, buy a zl1, cant go wrong.
if you drag race and street race, buy a gt500, youll never look back (at the zl1 in your mirror.)
