Did you look at the fast list? Granted A10s are mostly populating the list but Cwebster ran 11.6 bone stock in a M6. Add drag radial and you will see more 11s

I was about to rag on FastCarFanBoy about comparing auto to manual, but had to delete the post. Didn't realize the GT350 only come in a 6-speed, lol. Still, it's no faster than a base SS M6 it seems.

Yep, the driver mod has to be strong in the M6s.

What, like getting beat in all areas of performance when these are performance cars?

Cwebster is the only guy that has been able to crack an 11 with the car...he has a thread about it and basically he had to jump through some ridiculous hoops to try to trick the computer to get the car to launch. the M6 cars are turds.

GT500 went .4 faster back in 2012. Guess Chevys a bit behind...thank God for the A10 , can you imagine the "Hitler finds out about" videos if the 6th Gen ZL1 didnt come with an auto this time? LOL

11.7 to 12.2. That is a half a sec difference. I'd say that isn't even in the same league. Also, how about that 526 HP $65K GT350R being only a tenth of a sec faster than the M6 SS? LOL!! And how about the fact that Ford has nothing at all that can keep up with the slowest 650 HP car? And what about the world's slowest performance car that costs over $60K?

Yeah the M6 are turds alright. How fast is your mustang fanboi? As far as the GT500 VS ZL1 I would put my money on the ZL1 as its to close to call anyway M6 to M6. I watched a 2014 run 12.2 at gainesville raceway so I'd say they are about even with drivers being the factor

LOL, every magazine claims 11 second times with the manual ZL1 yet 1 private owner ever has been able to do it and that guy had to jump through more hoops than the SeaWorld Dolphins.

The M6 cars are neutered by GM and its well documented. Stop acting like you're gonna hop in one and go 11's... The fast list and the owners themselves say you won't.

Did you really post that Motor Trend stat sheet to demonstrate how much better of a performer the ZL1 is than the 350? LOL

Is there a slower 650hp car? maybe something with 4 doors and massage seats?

I find it funny that whenever you talk shit you always revert to the M6 ZL1. LOL. Show me one Mustang that can beat the M6 ZL1 in anything performance related. I'll wait...

Not only is the standard Shelby overpriced...coming in at a few hundred dollars cheaper than the ZL1 yet can't hang with even the SS 1LE...but also even the more expensive R version can't beat the ZL1, any ZL1, at anything. Slowest 650 HP car? LOL, well how about the slowest car that costs over $65K? Congrats Ford. Or how about making a $65K that can't beat a $35K car? LOL! Congrats again Ford. I'll take a M6 ZL1 any day. At least I know there isn't a Mustang that can keep up at.

It's easy to forget you are comparing auto to manual times. If the GT350 is a failure with 12:20s the ZL1 manual is a bigger failure with its times and huge hp/tq advantage. How about the last ZL1 manual running 12:50s with 580hp. These auto cars are making everyone a star no matter how bad a driver you are. The car is driving you and not the other way around.

Lol. Do you really believe the GT350 is a 12.2 car? ...without bog issues? Do you remember all the pre-release 0 to 60 estimates of 3.7 sec? Lol.
Quote:
The base GT350 reaches 60 mph in 4.3 seconds after a somewhat difficult launch and does the quarter-mile in 12.5 seconds at 117 mph.

There’s no shame in the GT350’s 4.3-second zero-to-60-mph run, or its 12.5-second (@119 mph) quarter-mile time. The car is not set up for drag-race launches. Drop the clutch below 4000 rpm and the car will bog a bit as the fat rear tires maintain their death grip on the pavement.

Maybe if the ZL1 had vibrating seats it would have done better in the subjective vote. Lol
Quote:
...True, it doesn't really come alive and pull in earnest until 4,000 rpm....

...Owing to its crankshaft design and lack of balance shafts, this is not the smoothest V-8, it is in fact, one of the least smooth. Shooting through to the far side of the tach and the engine sends a mighty vibration through the pedals and dash and your seat bottom. ...the vibration is exhilarating, even if the instrument panel pieces might not like it in the long run.
Remember the overheating base GT350s? ...or the overrev feature the Ford removed after the shit storm that occurred when it leaked? ...or C&D’s recommendation?

sell yours before it vibrates itself to pieces.
The GT350 was a great concept that failed in its execution. A disgrace.

I wasn't sure so I went looking and I found this video of the GT350 on page 1



And this video of the M6 ZL1 also on page 1

there were several other videos of struggling ZL1's but strangely I couldnt find any claimed 11 second videos of stock cars.
