I was responding to your opinion with my own. Didn't mean to derail.

Yeah CAFE standards are raining down the hurt in a couple years.

But ZR1, ZL1, GT500, GTR, 911, the fact that we have the choice of these cars is a testament to the current golden age of performance vehicles. Lets enjoy it while it lasts.

and let me say that the new GT500 is an extremely impressive vehicle.

650hp and 600lb-ft

Good God! That's a lot of power for something with a warranty.

TypeOne · 11-15-2011, 04:34 PM

Still no independent rear?

I don't care how much power it has... I won't buy one until it has that. I will be keeping my eyes open for the 50th anniversary planned for 2014. THAT is going to be awesome.

I like the rear lights. I think ford needs to scrap the key and go with a Nissan key and push button start. fords got it in lower end cars.

Over all the 2012 and 2013 look the same for the GT500. I think the 5.0/boss/base now look too close to the GT500. Originally the complaint from the old STV owners was that there was little to differentiate the GT from the STV.

Who needs 200 mph? Well I guess you could ask who needs 155 mph?

I was just reading about the GT500 today. HOLY $#!t!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks beast I must say. I also saw the ZL1. They say the Camaro is gonna be about 55k I think. WOW, 55k for a Camaro, crazy. I didnt see pricing for the GT500, was it announced? Im sure it will be comparable to the Camaro. Big power in those boys, they are gonna be sick.

I would never have thought a decade ago that anyone would ever spend 50k on a Mustang or Camaro, but even more shocking to me is that people would spend 120k on a Corvette.

It's very funny to me, but I can understand the cost from a performance standpoint.

m4a1mustang · 11-15-2011, 04:54 PM

Also keep in mind that $50k today is not the same as $50k ten years ago.

Troof!

Lemers · 11-15-2011, 04:59 PM

How about $35k on a GT and $22k on a V6? They've all gone up.

Cmike2780 · 11-15-2011, 05:33 PM

$50k is still a lot even if you take inflation into account. The interesting part is that these cars are still a pretty good bargain for what you get.

m4a1mustang · 11-15-2011, 05:35 PM

Real inflation or officially recorded Keynesian inflation?

Lemers · 11-15-2011, 06:16 PM

Not sure if this is a option or standard.

Second-generation Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar tires mounted on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged aluminum wheels.
