The Only thing the 13/14 gt500 would win is on the drag strip. Everything else, the ZL1 is superior. And if you read many gt500 owners, they will tell you the car is a handful to handle. you don't hear that from ZL1 owners.

My neighbor has a 14 GT500 and we mess around all the time. In the street on street tires I take him all day long from the dig. Why? because he cant hook up at all, while I'm bogging he's spinning his tires, I always hook up quicker and he cant catch me. On a drag strip he might take me. Roll races with him its who get the hit first.

All this talk about the Camaro and Mustang and what is better what the sales show us, what I see is that no matter what the profit margins are on both cars the sales are down across the board for both of these cars. I can't imagine that GM is happy with the position they find themselves in being at the bottom of the muscle car segment, after putting all this R&D into this platform and it looks like the sales will not be better next year. The same for the Mustang it is leading the Sales race but is down huge from past sales numbers. Both of these cars are being shown that a 10 year old platform that long ago paid for itself with minor tweaks can sell and sell well, Ford and GM are being schooled by Dodge, on what maters to the general public, and they are not afraid to market the car with an in your face attitude. The fastest car on a track with the best handling is the lowest seller funny guess that means not much.

Lol at the fastest gt being "a lot" faster than the fastest SS. One tenth or so faster in a specific equipment package automatic is only marginally faster at best.
And correct me if I'm wrong but are any stock a10 gt's on the mustang 6 fast list running appreciably faster or faster at all than the fastest stock a8's on the Camaro 6 fast list? A lot faster would be more like how much faster the manual SS is than the manual gt, and it does it without snapping shift forks.

Not sure who said it but I do agree with the person that said it "GM has been targeting the beta males with their marketing" and I guess Dodge is going for the jugular with theirs they are not sorry for making a big fast muscle car Ford and GM should learn form this.

From my understanding, Hot Rod didn't take a Camaro SS to the strip along with the Mustang or test it in same location. May as well look at times posted on the forums by members. |

I'm still blown away at how fast both cars (SS and GT) have become. 20 years ago the trap speeds and times the GT A10 is putting out were supercar and Viper GTS territory. Crazy. Good times to be a pony car owner.

Things just got very interesting. It looks like GM added the A10 trans as an available option on the ZLE!!!
