2015 ZL1?

[HumanWiki]

I don't honestly care what's powering my car down a 1/4 mi or through the turns.. Hydrogen, Nuclear, Magnets, Photons, Zero Point Enery, AntiMatter, etc...

As long as it's fast.. I'm good..

Smaller, lighter, higher-efficency is the future.

So, buy now while you still can. The golden-age of the Muscle Car is NOW!

Agree. Now get your ZL1's and get outside and drive 'em like you stole 'em. Well except for the "Ford Suck" guys. You can stuff em in a tree...

But, it better sound mean too.

Half the fun of going fast is the noise it makes too. That's why I have a hard time getting into these all electric / hybrid cars... I need that back ground music!

I'd trade the mean sound for the cool distortion effect on most HyperSpace, Warp Drive or other FTL drives when they jump... That would make for a very nice YouTube video.

Looks like a 2013 GT500 is the one to buy. Last of the Ford Shelby cars and the most HP and performance of any of them ever. That's one to keep under glass for 30 years.

well actually no. he is making a 950hp and an 1100 hp version. those cars are actually from his compnay and cost like 200k though. be interesnting to see how the collectabiliy of the SVT cars vs real shelby produced cars goes down.

The contract runs through calendar year 2013, not model year 2013. I expect the last of the SVT engineered GT500's will be 2014 models. It makes sense, since the new Mustang will be a 2015 model year.

I think that article is filled with a lot of hope and dreams and very little creditable information.

The stuff in the article was a long list of guesses based on what we do know. It's a company policy projection report—a good one, but not at all scientific. It's just a nicely written guess about the future.

Ill stick with my 2012 for awile

"Interesting"....that's really all I've got to say to all that.
