i'm not tipping one way or the other just yet until I see some good shoot out vids between the two.

some sources I now gained have mentioned some nice things about the GT500 coming out. 5.2 liter V8 with two snails on it with a newly developed DCT might make this thing desirable even to someone like myself who has always hated fords and especially mustangs.

now that being said i'm sure chevy is doing the same or similar for the ZL1 considering that rumor posted long ago about a 800HP TT V8 being tested. another positive note to it is the fact that chevy and ford collaborated on most of these new transmissions coming out.

it's a great time to be a car lover

Sounds interesting what's coming out of Ford. But I'm pretty sure Chevy got this. The FI Chevy engine will be competitive. Mustang going DCT though is awesome. It's the enthusiasts auto of choice. It's definitely going to be interesting on the higher end models.

But SS and downward. Chevy is a can't miss. But we'll see?

Yea but chevy hasn't given any info if their rumored TT engine is real or not. I know the new model isn't even out yet but I just want info lol

A TT mustang with dct is gonna be a competitor for sure though. It's gonna be interesting.

Same with the hellcat jeep. 2.6 0-60 time. ***** getting real lol

gotta say... it already looks better in the wild than in the marketing shots of the car.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro gets a bump in tech as well as price - CNET

2016 Camaro starting at nearly $27K. As long as its not stripped down to nothing at base and has Hyundai level standard features. I think this will be more than fair, considering you start out with a Cadillac ATS engine and transmission!!!

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS Is Stupid Quick, Does 0 To 60 In 4 Seconds

0-60 times
Camaro 4cyl turbo__ 5.5A/5.4M
Quarter 14.0
Skidpad.85g

Camaro 6cylinder___ 5.1A/5.2M
Quarter 13.5/13.7
Skidpad.89g

Camaro SS_________ 4.0A/4.3M
quarter 12.3
Skidpad .97g.

Whoa!!!!
The v6 almost had 2010 v8 stats the v6 is on par with the Z now... As I expected
The SS has 2012 corvette stats.

Just for quick reference the Mustang 5.0 does.

0-60 in_______ 4.7 seconds
Quarter in___ 12.7 seconds
.91g
It's a rape scene and the assailant is the Camaro SS
Ford needs to call SVU.

I still need to see one in person to see how it makes me feel.

in the end if it doesn't WOW me then why not drop the little extra coin on a vette which will blow the doors off and look sexy lol
