Time will tell, but I'm not anticipating the GT500 as much as I am curious as to where they focus the performance of it.
You are 100% right. I forget who brought this up in another VS chat, but the longer they wait, the higher GM and Dodge raise the bar. A tough spot indeed! I think it will end up being on par with the ZL1 on track(slower than the 1LE), faster on the strip. Slower than the HC on the strip, faster at the track. A bit of an in between I think.
