Pretty sure he also said it would be faster 0-60, which from what I've seen, it isn't.

http://i.autoblog.com/2012/01/20/cam...-shelby-gt500/ He specifically said zl1 would be faster to 60 than the 2013 gt500. Wrong. |

1.) I chose a ZL1, because for me it was what I wanted. I based the decision on several criteria. I have it and must say I am not at all disappointed. It is a very nice automobile. 2.) The 2013 GT500 is truly awesome as well. If I were a Mustang fan I would be giddy about it. Note, I have owned Mustangs as well. The new 5.8L engine is an awesome achievement for Ford. Kudos to them, really. The car is just not for me. I could have one if I wanted one but I just do not want one. 3.) I didn't purchase my ZL1 to be able to dominate a GT500. That would be foolhardy. 4.) Performance numbers for the 2013 GT50 are just starting to be released. We need to let this play out and get a good cross section of numbers from various sources. At some point the two cars will be put together for a real head to head. After a few head to head reviews we will have a better idea how these two stack up. I suspect they will be very close. We will see. 5.) My personal opinion is the Ring is a great measuring stick. I would like to see how the 2013 GT500 does there. Pretty simple. Ford should take their best hot shoe over there and get their best lap. Let's see it. I can't be the only person that would love to see this. If it smacks the ZL1 around, then hail to the chief. Does this clear it up a bit? |
