Hmmmm. I thought you weren't a big puss. Guess I was wrong.

404 something something. I am the complete opposite of a pilsner puss. You havent gotten the hint by now im a no prep drag racer? You must have mighty large balls for that stuff. I live for adrenaline in cars. I am a bit nuts in that regard. My poor wife.... i guess thats what stupid large life insurance policies are for.

Sounds like a puss to me for not pulling the trigger on the Viper.

Says the guy that almost didnt buy another SS. Its not my fault the better part of my adult brain took over. Wait. At least one of ours did. You ended up with the exact car you said you shouldn't rebuy because of other things you should put the money in

Wait, hold up sugar tits, didnt you say you were going to wait and buy a zl1 later? Looky whos a puss for not getting his zl1. Youre such a hypocrite.

HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME?

Absolutely not hard at all. Mag Ride, A10, and that new TT V8 is not going to be cheap.

Look at the ZL1 pricing. Thats what your GT500 will be around.

So Ford is going to sell the 500 for the same as an R?

If Drag Racing is what you want to dominate, the 2013-2014 GT500 IS THE VERY BEST OPTION.

Period...


You have a solid axle, good night, good bye, go home. It looks like a Muscle Car, Sounds like a Muscle car and only comes in manual.

Unless the next thing said is "Solid Axle", the conversation is over.

Here's my '17 ZL1 review:

When Ford put an extra 200hp on a GT and called it a GT500, there were some compromises. That exact situation has occurred yet again, this time on Chevy's side. The mission is simple, use the Boss 302's foundation, in this case the 1LE, add 200hp and nothing else. While it can go fast at Nurburgring (GT500 beat the ZL1's time) and it murdered the ZL1 in the 1/4 mile, it is, as they say, quite rickety.

Fast forward to 2016 and it is the same approach. Save money and weight by adopting the 1LE's platform and most of its equipment. The Boss came out first because of Motorsport, the ZL1 came 2nd because of the A10.

Yeah, but the 1LE doesn't have ALL 11 Sub-Frame Connectors! Yeah, and the ZL1 is missing some engine bay reinforcement. Regardless, it is so very cheap and not considered a quality in many opinion. Nothing is special about the ZL1's sub-frame Picasso... it was engineered on the convertible and used on the 1LE...


I wasn't impressed with the under tired set up, 285/305? The small rotors or the massive application of coolers? Where the hell is the track times? It's as if they quit playing Track as soon as IRS showed up. I hate the sub-frame connectors... it is pure garbage in 2016. Cool in 1996, not in 2016.

This was their best shot and it's vastly over priced vs. a 1LE. Nothing on a XL1 commands a $20,000 premium. Absolutely nothing... it's a parts bin experience, Chevy themselves know a DOHC is needed and 650hp won't cut it.

A GT500 is coming and it will blindside Chevy as equally as the '13... that is just its nature.
