Really want to see these cars run. Area under the curve may make this closer in the real world than the dyno would suggest. Then again, 100rwhp is 100 effing rwhp. Nice!

Although they are bad ***, I still don't consider them a stock ford. Ford dealers sell them, yes, but they are Shelby. Ford still hasn't built anything that comes close to competing with Chevy in a ford factory. Much respect but.....

Not true, great platform for mods and a tuners dream. But in stock form it's not even in the same class as the ZL1

Ford designs, engineers and builds the GT500. The only thing Shelby on there is the badge.

So a run of the mill 5.0 isn't on par with the best Camaro ever made, who would have thunk it?

Like I said.... Ford doesn't make any thing that compares to it. Did you even look at the rest of the thread???? Do so before the smart-*** comments please.

Completely incorrect. Where exactly do you think the GT500 was built? I can tell you it wasn't a BMW factory...
