I see no problem with the 13 Gt500 keeping up with and yes, beating the ZL1 even on the twisties. they have a lot more into it than just throwing HP at it, they are going for blood in all shape and forms.... I can't wait for a comparison, heck, i would love to see a comparison between the 12 GT500 PP and the ZL1, IMHO, it will be a hell of a lot closer than what one would think. What a great time to be a motorhead!

Inside Line Mustang Results
V6 1:30.9 HP 300
GT 1:28.2 HP 400
Boss LS 1:26.1 HP 440
GT500 1:25.6 HP 550
GT has a 100 HP advantage over the six with better brakes and tires. It is 2.7 seconds faster.
The Boss LS has a 40 HP advantage over the GT and is 2.1 seconds faster than the GT.
The GT500 has a 110 HP advantage over the BOSS LS and is only .5 seconds faster.
The GT500 has 250 HP advantage over the six. Shouldn't it be almost twice as fast? At least 10% faster. It has to be 5% faster. 250 HP gets you 4% faster.
The GT500 with a 110 HP advantage over the BOSS LS is .4% faster than the BOSS LS.
The GT500 will need more than two mode electrically selectable dampers (soft or hard) and ABS based Advance Track to put down another 100 HP on a road course. It will be interesting to see what Ford does to get that three link under control.
