I think when it comes to the camaro chasis there's more headroom for potential, just my opinion though. The Ford GT was slower than the C6 Z06 that's a great example.

It absolutely was not when the GT was still in production. Where do you get that idea? Ford doesn't have competitors for most of the cars you listed. The Mustang chassis has plenty of room for improvement. Making the assumption that Ford just doesn't have the tech to keep up is a huge stretch. The GT-R licensed plasma wire arc from Ford which was developed and used for just one model in Ford's lineup. Like I said, look back at the 2003 cobra and what it was doing to GM's lineup, even the corvettes. Look at what they did with the 5.0 and Boss on a solid rear axle. If Ford comes out of the gates swinging you better believe they will be right on par with the zl1. If tech were the end-all of automotive performance, the GT-R would dominate every car on the road, but it hardly does. SVT goes overboard and swings for the fences. ZL1 is very, very quick and there's no reason to believe Ford won't come out with a very, very good competitor. Either way, I need a lot more mods for these cars
