Because I definitely don't go on svt, mustang, or ford forums at all and if I did I wouldn't consistently try to dog their cars and post convenient articles that prove whatever car I like is better. And I definitely wouldn't be upset or surprised when I had 100000 mustang replies on why I'm wrong...
Give the GT500 the suspension capability of the ZL1 and BOOM goes ze dynamite.

In all honesty the copo argument is semi valid, its gm production... yeah its a limited amount but how many times has a manufacturer created a very specific amount of a special car to meet the standards so it can race as a "production" car. I wouldn't compare it but in all honesty you could.

This result is consistent with Motor Trend's match up of the two cars at Laguna Seca.
Quoting the article:
The ZL1 does pass in later laps due to the GT500 suffering from brake fade
Quoting the article:
"As we expected, the Mustang and its massive engine were faster on the straights and up the hill from turn five to the top of turn eight, Laguna Seca's famed Corkscrew. The Camaro, though, was faster in the corners and pulled higher g's in nearly every turn. To our surprise, the cars were dead even exiting the final corner. The Mustang laid down the faster lap solely by virtue of its 82-horsepower, 75-lb-ft advantage in a drag race up the front straight to the finish line. The result: Shelby, 1:38.69; ZL1, 1:39.18."

So your calling people who write about cara for a living wrong? Gotcha bc you know everything right? Considering that the S/C Ls3 (LSA/Ls9) wouldn't have no where near the power that it makes in the Zr1 or Zl1 with out that S/C id call that the main difference. And Carrol Shelby had nothing to do with it? LMFAO yea that just proves my point that your just as smart as auto,and snake95......

I don't give a **** what Motor Trend said, they also tested an LS1 Firehawk and ran a blazing 13.8 in the 1/4 mile. And I certainly don't know everything, but I do this little thing called RESEARCH before I go running my mouth. You were wrong. Be a man and own up to it, and go about your business. All you are doing is making yourself look like more of a joke.

Boss 302 was created to race as a production car. Cobra Jet was created to compete in stock class drag racing. The COPO Camaro was created to compete with the Cobra Jet in drag racing. This argument is not at all valid. Compare the COPO to the Cobra Jet. That is what it was made for.
