We will just have to agree to disagree. And I am not trying to make that a slight or bash on the ZL1.

Lot of good tid-bits sneaking out on the GT500 if you kno where to look.
Can’t begin to guess on price, but I’d say at least one version of this car is aimed at/around the ZL1-1LE track performance.

If I'm going to spend upwards of 50k for a car and I'm not thrown back in my seat as soon as I hit the gas, I'm not interested. I don't care if it revs to 50k rpms. I'll take the old push rod with a smile.

Not suggesting it’s about to hit streets, just that some of the aero pieces are trickling out.

Maybe it is that Cushy comment, that is the ZL1's problem. Is it more like a CTSV or a Z28? What is the driver engagement? Are you driving the car or is the car driving you and you are simply steering? A few of MotorTrends comments: When you're not pounding the bloody edge of the envelope, the car is too docile. There's not much to remind you that you are driving one hell of a world-class sports car. The thing is, when you get these two studs on a winding canyon road, the Shelby is the car you want to be driving. That steering simply comes alive. The GT350R sports one of the best-feeling front ends I've had the privilege of experiencing. It's simply excellent. This Shelby's shifter shifts better, the engine feels better (who wouldn't take an 8,250-rpm redline over a 6,500-rpm limit?), the brake pedal feels better, and the car is simply sportier in every way. The R's just more fun to drive. Again, I'm not sure how Ford Performance did it, but I think there's a layer of pixie dust baked into the GT350R. I might call it a thing divine.

The 350R is faster in turns, the ZL1 is faster in the straights, so in terms of a "Drivers Car" the 350 is the car they would choose. "and the car is simply sportier in every way" |

Btw. Just got home from the dealership with my GT350. I'll post pics up tomorrow.
Driving impressions. Okay. I drove it 25 miles, so not alot of seat time and this is my first ever manual so keep that in mind. It's hard for me to give a review cus my Zl1 is 1200 hp so. haha. It's almost impossible to be fair here, but stock for stock. It's a murder fest. The Zl1 wipes the floor. Let's be honest. From a dig, omg, yea, it won't be close. Having said that. I went for value as I said b4. I got it for $51k w/800 miles on it. It's the color combo I wanted and I can put $15k in it and have solid 700 hp 2nd car for the streets. I won't be winning any street races, but I'm going for a solid build and will end up doing some CF work and suspension/wheel upgrades. I've already ordered my JLT intake and Kooks headers and Diode lighting. Every light will be changed out with Diodes to clean the look up. Car felt fine on the streets. Good ride quality. I think the 350 has mag ride, but I haven't gone through the settings, but I didn't see any suspension settings to my knowledge. I'll play with it tomorrow. (nm, settings are on the steering wheel) haha. Overall, for the price, it will be a nice car to build on. I'm happy with it but it def doesn't give me that oh shit feeling I got when I bought the Zl1. New for New, I'm doing the Zl1 over again. But used, the value was there to pull the trigger on the Shelby. Plus, i always wanted one even tho i knew they were down on power. They just look fkn sexy.
