Because its alot better then a maggie supercharged SS. The stock SS may be plenty for some folks but I need more and I was ready to order up a 2010 SS 2LT and slap a maggie on it and rule the streets. But after reading threads here actually I learned that the GT500 is a beast of a car with its FACTORY 550hp, forged crank, forged rods, forged pistons and the older 2010 run's 11.5x on MT's. Its thats only the beginning... Pulley and tune are good for another 100whp and a $3,500 2.9L Whipple supercharger will be good for 650whp w/ stock parts and 750+whp w/ a few supporting mods.
So it was a no brainer when I had to decide between a supercharged SS for $48k or a 2011 GT500 for $52k
Ive never been a Ford guy and use to make fun of my friends 03 GT and loved beatin up on 5.0's in the 90's w/ my old 67, but I just couldnt buy the SS simply because im a chevy guy.
Thank you Camaro5.com for helping me make my decision.
