Yes, I am curious to see what time the GT500 can post at the Nurburgring.
Is that all that matters now with muscle cars these days? Or is it just something a select few on car forums care about?

If one car is faster than the other, at any givin road course by a marginal amount, do people, or the general public really care? Do most people even know what Nurburgring is?

IMO, when someone says they own the most powerful, fastest production muscle car ever made, people aren't thinking about Nurburgring times...

You talk about 650HP being all about bragging rights, well isn't that what the Nurburging time's for the ZL1 are?

I can tell you that everytime someone is driving down the road in their Shelby, or on the strip (with 650HP) and someone wants to play, which bragging right is gonna be best utilized? I ask this because that is where these cars are going to be doing battle 99% of the time. Which one is more important to everyday people buying these cars, 650HP or 1.3265 seconds faster around a 13 mile roadcourse in Germany?
