This is why I have a hard time with people who say the GT500 is not "worth the money" at it's $43K base msrp. Find me another production car made in the last two years with four seats, a 3900 curb weight and a navigation system that, with less than $6000 in mods, can put down mid-10's/134mph times for less than $50K.

I'd say she's worth it considering most pick-up trucks and big SUV's go for around 40K these days,a 500HP car for the same price as a loaded crewcab Ram is pretty sweet.
I could watch the opening scene from 'I am Legend' over and over and over. Now all we need is a Z28 to have a good fight between the two. Why can Cadillac get the supercharged ZR1 engine and the Camaro cannot?? Unless GM is saving it for a 2nd or 3rd year sales boost? I hope,i hope.
