What happens if this New GT500 can't beat my C7 Z06?

[YOLO]

Mustangs need to compete with Camaros. Is it disappointing if ZL1 doesnt keep up with a Z06?

The Z06 is faster in a straight line but on a road course it's a whole different story.

Chevy is no longer holding back on the Camaro vs Corvette thingy.

So you think A) The historically supercharged GT500 will suddenly be N/A, and you'll be upset if its not, and B) that Ford would produce a 700hp N/A motor for the GT500? You are joking right? Let us know how the new GT350 is.

There is no need to hold back. The Corvette will always out perform Camaro. Just by design. The vette will always have the better tech first. In a lighter more aerodynamic design. People that want GT500s will buy them. They dont give a shit about Corvettes any more than they worry about keeping up with Porsche GT3s.

That is something my 25 year old son says.

Then why not Mod any car? Maybe I'm a purist but I don't believe in modifying a Shelby.

I may do some mild suspension mods, and a few bolt-ons but I'm not going to radically alter the engine.

More HP don't mean chit if you can't get traction. My Z06 has too much HP for its chasis already. In fact, many say the Grand Sport with 460HP is a more fun car to drive.

My Z06 is NOT an easy car to drive fast, especially on a road course. Back-end likes to kick out. Unlike my brothers Porsche which can whip around corners with ease, much more planted.

DSC Sport controller and alignment will take care of your Z06 road course concerns.

My 350 will be the superior car to the 500. No new model issues and ADM BS.

NA, Manual Trans, a real racing heritage, and a Shelby.

Can't wait to order.

I don't know about superior. Less $ and more fun to drive? Probably

If by "superior" you mean slower, you are correct sir!

Straightline, Yes. Road course, we'll see.

You have some off the wall posts lately. Kinda reminds me of MCars Fan a while ago.

Have fun with (your not purchased yet) GT350.

This guy is an anti-Ford troll and has no intentions of buying a GT350 or any other Ford. Look at all the anti-Ford posts, and they keep coming. Pretty obvious at this point...

Nah he's just looking for the GT500 to be something it's not, which is foolhardy. It'll be very fast on the racetrack (certainly faster than a GT350R), and very fast on the street (Hellcat beating). It's very, very, very hard to do both of those things AND retain a car that is reasonably comfortable and livable, and be able to pound around the track without overheating brakes/coolant/oil.

Anti company Ford, yes.

But I love the Shelby GT350.

I'm anti-Apple also, but I like the iPhone.

Is that ok with you?

I see that. The new GT500 will kick the Crapmaro zl1-1le all around the track.

Haha yeah we will see.

Hey you never said where you buy premium gas for $2.70/gal. Or do you only buy regular gas for your Z06 vette (aka Chevy Malibu)??

That's about what 91 octane costs around here (Minneapolis area).
