I would. I felt like sitting in the Camaro was similar to sitting in a bunker when I tried a used ZL1. was a nice ride and drive well, but visibility SUCKED imo. I'ts why I'd rather get a new GT, or a light used GT350 over a 35K ZL1.Jim Bob looking for a track day car is going to spend $60,000 on a GT350 when a 1SS 1LE is $20k less?
Nah dude. Ask anyone that tracks: when you are learning, a lower cost but more capable car is less stressful and more rewarding. GT350s getting passed by 1SS1LE is common in hpde 1-3. By the time the camaro owner spends another $20k to equal the base GT350 expense, hes walking around GT350s on track.
If someone wants to buy a GT350, they already know their is other cars out there that will out perform it. But that doesn't stop them.. You buy a GT350 for the sake of buying a GT350.Jim Bob looking for a track day car is going to spend $60,000 on a GT350 when a 1SS 1LE is $20k less?

I think you misunderstood. I don't think anyone was suggesting a COLD AIR INTAKE was the reason.... they are talking about it being colder outside. It is now Winter... and temperatures are 20 ~ 40 degrees colder now, which means air is more dense.
An engine is an air pump.
Reminds me of my old pullied '03 Cobra. It made much more power, but it's powerband was similar. It felt you could take it to 6500 no problem, felt strong. The dyno graph also showed it nosediving above 6000 due to heat from the blower. Tinkering with the shift points netted a 2.5 mph gain in the 1/4 shifting at ~6250 rpm.People say this but I don’t feel any drop in power all the way to the 6500rpm redline:shrug:
Looking at dyno graphs of the gen 6 ss and 18 gt, both are making around 350 tq @6000 rpm.
The ss make at least 350 tq from 2000-6000rpm
Scroll down for graph.

The 18 gt does have a flatter curve up top no doubt; but to say the lt1 “falls on its face” is ignorant.
I would go C7 GS with the Z07 package for GT350 price and really hurt some feelings! I have seen a couple on discount for roughly $60k.Jim Bob looking for a track day car is going to spend $60,000 on a GT350 when a 1SS 1LE is $20k less?

Wasn’t there a suit over that engine having issues? I think it also has cooling issues on the track like the GT350 did before the coolers became standard.I would go C7 GS with the Z07 package for GT350 price and really hurt some feelings! I have seen a couple on discount for roughly $60k.
1. No idea and 2. I thought the GS has coolers? I do not know of any of the GS's faults, I would like one because it is an NA road course monster, especially with the Z07 package. I bleed blue and know little about Corvette's other than appreciate their performance and looks.Wasn’t there a suit over that engine having issues?

I could be wrong. I may be thinking of the Z06.1. No idea and 2. I thought the GS has coolers?

The Z had the cooling issues because of the supercharger, that I do know.I could be wrong. I may be thinking of the Z06.
The A8 Z06 had cooling issues.I could be wrong. I may be thinking of the Z06.
Exactly!If someone wants to buy a GT350, they already know their is other cars out there that will out perform it. But that doesn't stop them.. You buy a GT350 for the sake of buying a GT350.
Shelby's have a huge brand, a GT350 breaks more necks then a SS 1LE ever will lol.
You mean SS 1LE?I would. I felt like sitting in the Camaro was similar to sitting in a bunker when I tried a used ZL1. was a nice ride and drive well, but visibility SUCKED imo. I'ts why I'd rather get a new GT, or a light used GT350 over a 35K ZL1.
Yea I got a call back from same dealer that offered the 1SS 1LE at $43k otd.I would go C7 GS with the Z07 package for GT350 price and really hurt some feelings! I have seen a couple on discount for roughly $60k.
To be replaced by the GT500.The GT350 is on it's way out.
I wasn't comparing the GT350 to the 1LE. I was simply referring to the pecking order in the Mustang family. Ford will not want to step on the heels of the Shelby as long as it's in production, hence possible under-rating of the HP numbers. Not saying it's actually happening.Jim Bob looking for a track day car is going to spend $60,000 on a GT350 when a 1SS 1LE is $20k less?
