ZL1 beats new GT500

shadoquad

I'd be so embarrassed if I was driving a GT500 right now. Oh my god, what a pedestrian and slow grocery getter it is.

If only they could soar with the Eagles, and have gotten a ZL-1 instead...

I BELIEVE it's going down to a 5.0 or 5.3L...something like that.

That's a very interesting question because at what point does the Z06 surpass the ZR-1? They are already pretty close so...if they make the Z06 too good where does that leave the ZR-1?

I have a friend who has a Z06, that is one bad *** @#$%ing car, without a doubt one that demands full attention all the time.

Well I think the Z06 with the Z07 package is faster than the ZR1 around some road courses. I may be wrong about this, but I think I saw it somewhere. I think it's because it has all the suspension and braking bits of the ZR1, but is lighter in weight.

No kidding...first thing I'm doing when I get home is setting mine on fire!

All kidding aside, I love my GT500 and I could have bought a GTR OR a ZL-1 since money was not an issue. I went with the GT500 because while it is not the fastest it is a lot of fun to drive and well...I've always loved mustangs so it was an easy choice. I like the ZL-1 but not enough to buy it and the GTR is simply a BEAST and overall out performs the GT500 and ZL-1 easily in ANY category but again...I'm not looking to race the car so the daily "fun" factor IMO was higher with the GT500 since it is a manual VS automatic. Problem I have with the GTR is it's too good and does too much for you. Again, when it comes to raw performance few cars can match the GTR so, I'll always hold the car in very high esteem and have zero issues accepting the fact that it can stomp a mudhole in every aspect. Hum...losing to a GTR...not thrilled but then again unless you're in a 911 turbo S or a bugatti...well...it's no surprise!
