Woah!! 95 pages!! It was at like 20~ 2 days ago right? I missed a lot and literally don't have the time to read it all.
Any big news in those 70 pages or just bench racing and relative banter?

You guys act like Chevy coming out with hero times for the ZL1 instead of letting independent testers do it for them is a GOOD thing. Independent testing is coming soon. If the GT500 beats the ZL1 in the hands of Randy Pobst or at Lightning Lap you're going to need a nuclear reactor to cook all the crow that's going to be needed around here. |

Others believe Ford waited till the Camaro went on hiatus so GM couldn't embarrass them with an N/A 4th gen.

Insider information from someone who evidently got screwed over by GM concerning a few design aspects of the Camaro.
He may be wrong, but I haven't seen him say something that wasn't 100% correct. So don't be upset when you see that price tag up $2 g'bombs from 2012. How fishy does that mysterious QC hold seem now? All those 2012 orders that got turned into 2013 orders... |

Pretty much IDENTICAL to current 1969-1970 Boss 429 sales data, maybe a scoche higher, if you're averaging... So that statement above, again, like most of your "facts", is pure fiction. And still, after taking another couple of your posts and sending them to the glue factory, I'm still wondering... What the hell do 1969 ZL1 and Boss 429 prices and build-numbers and build-executions have to do with 2012-2013 ZL1's and GT500's?? Hint: The answer is nothing, and if you guess nothing, it'll be the first thing you've been correct/accurate about since diving into this discussion. Don't skip your lithium doses. |

What's the World Record price for a gen-you-whine ZL1? Not a Reggie Jackson burnt-'n-rebuilt one or a car in it's "original" racing livery, or "rebodied" like the $400K one, but a complete-down-to-the-battery-caps-like-a-BOSS '9 garage queen numbers-match COPO 9560?
And the BOSS, done up the same way? Part of that is "numbers". Unlike the porcine BOSS, most-if-not-ALL ZL1s were RACED...seriously raced. BOSSes? Always were, and always are, garage/trailer queens...just like yours. ZL1s as an option @ 4,100+ 1969 Greenbacks, not profitable? You could buy an L72 Camaro for less dough than an equally-equipped SS396/375 (L78) Camaro. You could buy a crate ZL1 for mid-$3s all day long... BOSS '9s sold for mid-$4s. A bare-bones but Deluxe interior FE donor SportsRoof (like the M-code I had...) was into the $3s. The difference from the BOSS '9 Stang and the (2) BOSS '9 Cougar (as far as installation/conversion) was 3" of battery cable... How much less, exactly, would 3" have saved Ford/KK on the Stang conversions?? And no, my wife doesn't have THAT answer...yours might... Check YOUR blood pressure, 9er... |

I'm sure no Ford/Mopar sites have enjoyed the activity from "auto-wikipedia experts" and "just the facts, ma'am" professors as THIS site...and that, folks, speaks to your efforts to, once again, only increase the advertising value of this site.
The owners thank you, one and all... |

Face it, you can't have "several" Boss 429's for the price of a ZL1. It's a fact, you can't refute unless you're o.k. with lying (which is possible). Quote:

You mean this isn't the SVT forums? With all the circle jerking going on I thought I was in the wrong house.
