This car is my doomsday prepping plan for 21 Dec 2012 I can outrun all the highwaymen trying to kill me and take my gas.

Nice. The muscle car choices just keep getting better all the time. I was reading a car magazine and they showed some pics of the 2014 Corvette. It looked really awesome and the base model is around the ZL1 and GT500 price range.

Wonder what its performance numbers will be. Because if it doesn't outperform those cars at the price point, you're paying for the looks and lack of back seat. :icon17:

I need back seats so no corvette until I get the kids out.

Definitely hope so. I'm assuming Chevy had the ZL1 in mind when designing the new Corvette so it should put out better performance numbers.

the rear looks like a camaro

Yeah. Corvettes have round lights. Chevy trying to save a few bucks by dipping into the parts bin again?

yeah but the 4 big exhaust pipes look mean, like those from a supercar :)

Looks like something out of a James bond movie. With a push o the lighter missile tips will appear out of two of the pipes.

I'm hoping it's not like that when it hits showrooms.

:iagree:

Chevy let transformers go to their head.

:iagree:

Hate the Camaro looking rear on the C7 Corvette. They need to change that.

Here's a first drive of the 2013 5.0h. This article really just mentions the updates for 2013.

2013 Ford Mustang First Drive - Motor Trend

No suspension or engine could outrun that kind of ugly if it is.

yea seriously.. I feel that it looks way to similar to the camaro in the rear to be released like that..

:roflpuke2:

:icon18:

The 2013 Mustang GT with 420hp / Boss 302 LSD / Recaros / Brembos, etc for ~ 39K is sounding very tempting...

i thought this was funny

The Shelby 1000 Press Photos Are Fake

:rofl2:

They've been busting those up on the Mustang forums all day! Fronts off the ground on street tires... :bowrofl:

Funny thing is even in the Mustang community Shelby does not get a good reception. We all want the name GONE. Carroll had some awesome cars back in the day but they are just milking his name now. :mad:

It's awesome from a marketing point of view... whether they meant it or not. The memes will be worth millions in advertising. :D

The 2013 GT500 was spotted at Ring. Here are some pictures

that thing looks fvcking good, i'm looking forward to hearing its lap times, especially if it sh!ts on the ZL1's best.

Would be nice to get a time but knowing Ford they won't release one, no matter how good it is.

The magazines will get the ZL1 and GT500 together to see who is pony car king.

I hope that its more than a 1/4 mile. I hope they do some tracks too. The ZL1 guys only have the speculation of being faster on a track. Chevy has all but conceded the 1/4.

OMG You didn't so repped for this :bowrofl:

Motor Trend first look......

2013 Ford Shelby GT500 First Test - Motor Trend


"0-60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds, on toward a quarter-mile time of 11.6 seconds at 125.7 mph."

Hot damn.

and if you read the article, it handles as well as it runs. Quite impressive amount of performance for the dollar.

would hit/10

I am impressed/surprised!

If I were not going after land/house, I would be totally butthurt about buying a 370Z instead of trading my Z06 for one of these. Then again, it's no better than my Z06, just different, but kudos to Ford for making it perform like a Z06!

Chevy is shittin brix right now.

The cool thing is that it's like 1/2 a 370Z cheaper than a Z06! :D

I'm just not sure that's enough power for me.
