Power to weight ratio becomes tricky when the cars start turning into a corner. It becomes more of a how wide and grippy the tires are and how heavy is the damn thing lol
A base model manual ZL1 1LE scales around 3830 lbs and auto 10 speed around 3850 lbs. It comes with back seat and removal of the back seat will save you 30 lbs.
Conservation of momentum is a bitch.
90% of people complaining have past posts of not being able to afford certain basic bolt ons with reg GT. If im an asshole, its because im stating the obvious and speaking facts.
Well I’m sure you’ll agree. That the GT500 will steal the ZL1’s lunch money in a straight line. Now as far as turns go. I’m hopeful that the massive tires and brakes that are part of the package. Were well engineered to the mass of the car. As much as I’d love to see a 3500 pound GT500. I think those days are over. I will continue to lement the passing of light weight pony cars. And will most likely be called a troll for doing so.
Yup no more lightweight muscle cars. Infact, if they go hybrid in the future, with additional safety requirements, the weight will be keep going up. I do agree on the straight line performance. GT500 should be able to dominate the ZL1 but what I don’t get it is why the GT500 has the same size tires as the GT350R. Is the new compound that sticky to justify the weight difference of 3630 lbs vs 4200 lbs? I would have expected 335’s even 355’s in the back of that beast.
Shelby America did NOT Factory Fords.
Tell me again how awesome your "terminator" is. When did this turn into a cobra or mod motor forum? Quite frankly I dont think many around here being a 6th gen forum give a damn about an old SN95. Your ignorance assuming Ive never heard of a damn "Cobra" is comical.
I love it when idiots like you think Cobra = Shelby = GT500 LOL.
Coyote actually weighs less, at least from what I can find after a quick google. Coyote dry weight 444 lbs, LT1 465 lbs (although don't know if that's wet or dry).
This surprised me at first, but after a search I see that it makes sense because the LT1 has an iron engine block.
That's the old LT1. The 2014+ LT1 is all aluminum.
That's dry but with a dry sump system as well. Without it, it's in the 430's dry.
Would never even consider getting into a Camaro but as far as the "if you have something bad to say about the GT500 you can't afford one". That is just plain ridiculous. Plain and simple I wouldn't want one due to the "you take the DCT or screw you philosophy of Ford." Price has nothing to do with it. All I can say is if you want to buy one good for you. But enough of the "you must not be able to afford it crap!" As it is it's overweight and late to the party at the least!90% of people complaining have past posts of not being able to afford certain basic bolt ons with reg GT.

And can u explain how bumblebees fly? Oh, it transcends physics with brute force over mathematical calculations? How interesting... i guess those with better backgrounds in physics on the GT500 program could teach ya something.. if u were willing to learn
