Gotta understand the Shelby has long gears for tracking and makes most of it's power in the upper rpm band. Once you drive a C7 or SS, you will always have the "that's it?" type of reaction since the LT1 starts pulling from 2k to redline vs 3500-3800 to redline.

I like the Shelby of course but that LT1.. Instant torque all over the damn rpm range.
