The new GT500 is impressive. It dropped 9 seconds off it's lap time at VIR with the new improvements!

I saw that, they estimated 3 seconds at the start and it came back with a 9 second drop.

"To give a little context to the time… when referencing the best lap times ever recorded on FastestLaps.com, the 2011 Shelby GT500 is in some fairly elite company, and would place directly between the 10th ranked Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with 2:58.2 and the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport C6 at 2:58.8 seconds."

Pretty nice.

A GT non-premium equated pretty well in price to a base 370Z. A Premium GT equated to a Touring. The performance package is a bit cheaper since the Stang only adds wheels, tires, and Brakes (Limited Slip Diff is standard on all stangs and no version of SRM available).

All I know is that if you are a CAR GUY first and not a brand-whore d-bag like some people tend to be these are AWESOME times.

I'd love to have a Z, Genesis Coupe, Mustang GT, Evo, STi, etc. all sitting in my garage. These cars each do certain things better than others, but guess what, they all do everything WELL and they are FUN and EXCITING.

For me I could live with just a Z & a Mustang GT, both can be driven at any time but point them each in a different direction.

That'd be exactly what I would go with!

Even the hatches these days are hotter. The GTi, the Mazdaspeed3... It's a good time to be an enthusiast.

Agreed! The MS3 is pretty sweet... a little bit of utility with that wagon design.

Back on the Mustang V6 topic... it's pretty wild that the V6 Mustang will be a low-mid 13 second car with bolt ons!
