You have a Camaro with a supercharged & larger engine with 136 more horsepower available and you can only run 2.45 seconds faster vs the Mustang on a road course?

and GM took fords best shot at a factory race car and turned it into a pretzel--- everywhere. the zl1 was not only faster in the straights, it cornered better as well.

The current base price for a Shelby GT500 is, according to Ford's website ( http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/models/) is $48,810, a good $7,000 less than the ZL1. It is already stated by Ford that the new model will have 650 HP as the base model. We can only imagine the other upgrades for the 2013 model, so we'll have to wait. For starters, here's an article detailing a few of the improvements we can expect to see, including bilstein electronically adjustable shocks, a track pack with oil/diff/trans coolers and brembo brakes. Perhaps this will bring the two prices on par with each other. From a capability standpoint, it would appear that Ford was laying in wait for this...

Here's the thing...when trying to make a point it is important to include context as a FACT without proper context is merely data. Your bias is clear, but that's ok - we expect it. Don't worry, I am here to counter your incomplete or misleading information.
Now that I have provided the appropriate information, you will have more time to post oil company pricing conspiracy posts...you're welcome

that price for is for the current gt500, which the zl1 destroys in every way. the base price for the '13 is supposed to be much more.
the '13 gt 500 will be the first factory domestic 650 hp car though! to run 12's....
